Easy to use, quiet fan, cooks perfectly and demonstratively quieter than the Samsung it replaced. Notably, it has a "silence" feature that turns off all those beeps.

Hard Hiting Noir Thriller
on March 13, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Taking place entirely during the course of one night the production gets the predawn to dawn lighting perfect as the plot moves towards it final moments. IMHO, it's the best movie about corruption and the efforts to uncover who's involved since LA Confidential. Colors and contrast levels are excellent, the DTS soundtrack has impact when necessary. The movie is a reminder of the talent that was lost when we lost Chadwick Boseman.

Irreverant, Brash, Crude, Hilarious, Over the Top
on March 6, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie will be remembered for the committed performances of its leads. They were given material that in other hands would fall flat but Scorsese makes it all come across as a fun-filled romp by addicts of many persuasions be it drugs, sex, money, snake-oil salesmanship or just plain bad judgement. Definitely not the movie for those whose sensitivities are easily insulted. Image wise my standard Bluray seemed to have some crushed blacks with dark suits but is otherwise detailed and colorful.

Good WiFi Unit, better with ethernet
on January 29, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this based on a BB chat recomendation to use with my new Verizon Fios 200mps internet service. It's doubt a very good job sending wifi to my first floor devices but my challenging basement requires an ethernet connected extender (also Netgear) to provide a similar signal to the downstairs where I now get 143mps.

Good Suspense and Notable Action
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Blunt is sympathetic, heroic, romantic, resourceful and more all in the span of 2 hours. The action scenes are visceral. Contrast levels might challenge some displays that aren't up to the task but those that are will reward with good suspense.

Exciting, sometimes horrific....
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Another Pitt vehicle that puts his talents to good use taking the viewer on an exciting, sometimes horrific, ride through his character's philosophy on war. The tank battles are gutteral, the explosions impactful. The scene of three Shermans pitted against a Tiger is a highlight not to be forgotten.

Exciting SFX

Kind of a cross between Interstellar and Heart of Darkness. Pitt does a commendable job and the sfx are exciting seemlessly coming across in UHD with an appropriate soundtrack to boot.

Near Top Form but....
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This UHD edition is in near top form except for an issue with overall brightness that required me to increase my HDR slider by two notches to get it to where it looks right. The sound track also needed a boost by 5 notches for it to come alive with the expected impact. Once there, however, it was a thrill a minute.

Out with the Old, in with the New
on December 25, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Cooks well but you don't need as long as the recommended time suggests. The old crock pots from years past are more sturdy but this one fills the gap quite adequately. It replaced one we had for 25+ years.

Fred's Review Comments
It's the year 2029, and much of the world's mutant population has succumbed to a genocidal, man-made virus. As a down-and-out Logan (Hugh Jackman, in his final appearance as the character) comes to terms with his failing healing factor, he and an ailing Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) must protect Laura (Dafne Keen)-a young genetically bred mutant with powers similar to Logan's-from the evil organization that created her. With Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant.

Great movie and to me, one of the best in the XMen franchise. Awesome final outing for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Patrick Stewart at Professor X. Great story and acting. Highly recommend.

Purchased several weeks ago. Stopped working this morning. No amount of Bluetooth pairing, connecting, reconnecting, rebooting, reinstalling can solve it. Keep getting message to try reconnecting. Now outside return period. Will go to Logitech website for support on manufacturer 1 year warranty.

Does this have a direct ethernet port?
The specifications for inputs/outputs do not list Ethernet port but the photos seem to show a RJ45 port quite clearly, which presumably is for Ethernet connection. I have one of these laptops on order. When I placed the order in-store the sales rep pointed it out to me in the photo.

I bought a Roku Streaming Device from Amazon for an older TV that only has A/V Ports and the program that I choose will come on and then after 15 seconds or so the signal cuts out completely. I tried everything and nothing works why? The tv has no HDMI.

Hi, They actually did not directly answer my question earlier. My question is, does the Roku Ultra have a "ZOOM" feature on it to expand the picture that will fill the screen?" I have an older TV with HDMI but the Roku's that I have don't have "ZOOM".
