The ole clock on the wall

Posted by: StrayCat25

Verified Purchase:Yes
Decent special effects extravaganza. Very heavily reliant on cgi, which looks very good even under the scrutiny of 4k.
Excellent HDR picture and even better Dolby Atmos sound.

2nd best “Halloween” movie..could be better..
on February 7, 2019
Posted by: StrayCat25
from Kissimmee, FL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I went into this one with high expectations that were almost fulfilled. It’s probably the second best in the history of “Halloween” movies. Not sure why they gave Jamie Lee Curtis the Leslie Van Houten makeover, but she plays her part well. The film is strong enough in all technical aspects and audio/picture quality is fine. Still, the recent 4k release of the John Carpenter original is superior in every way. Both versions are worthy of a place in your UHD horror collection.

The only 4k “Saw” entry so far
on February 7, 2019
Posted by: StrayCat25
from Kissimmee, FL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
It’s the most recent of the “Saw” franchise, and the first to be released in UHD. These films aren’t for everyone, but if you’re okay with the genre, this one is fairly decent. The Dolby Vision Picture is surprisingly excellent and the Dolby Atmos audio sets the mood quite nicely.

Dolby Vision Showcase
on February 1, 2019
Posted by: StrayCat25
from Kissimmee, FL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay adventure flick. Alicia Vikander is at least as good as, maybe better than Angelina Jolie in the role. Dolby Atmos soundtrack is quite good, but the star of this disc is the Dolby Vision picture: It is one of the best home theatre pictures I have seen.

Excellent Study on Neil Armstrong

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great Neil Armstrong Biopic. Makes a good trilogy of American space program films when combined with "The Right Stuff" and "Apollo 13" (Add "Hidden Figures" to make it a quadrilogy). Excellent Dolby Vision picture and Atmos sound.

The Madden Train Rolls On

Verified Purchase:Yes
The only NFL game available on consoles for years now. Fortunately, it’s a great game. From one year to the next, the biggest difference is the rosters. Like all games, it will be much cheaper in a few months.

Still the best basketball game out there. Not that different from recent versions. Might be worth waiting for the price to come down.

Looks Great

Really pretty to look at, excellent Dolby Vision picture. The Dolby Atmos soundtrack is good, too, not as remarkable as the picture. The story and acting are just ok. Overall, there are much better 4k blu rays available.

Reference class quality is here with the DP-UB9000P1K. Our HCX (Hollywood Cinema Experience) processor optimizes color, clarity and detail in 4K/HDR formats like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. The result is a exciting array of highest quality video and audio options from 4K UHD Blu-ray discs to 4K upscaling, VOD 4K streaming, voice assist and more.
 

How can I remove the black bars from my screen (top & bottom) while paying a blue ray disk. I like to watch movies with a full TV screen. I just bought the DP-UB9000 today.

Detect intruders, and protect your space with this SimpliSafe motion sensor.

The advanced motion detection technology lets this SimpliSafe motion sensor watch for intruders, while a unique human heat-mapping algorithm eliminates false positives by letting this sensor distinguish between pets and intruders.
 

Will the motion detector sense motion if someone is looking into my house through a window?

No. The sensor is heat activated.

It~s the best of the best. We didn~t raise the bar, we shut it down. The Redline 360c sets the new standard for radar detectors with extreme detection range, 360~ directional awareness, 100% true stealth and the best overall performance from any detector. Get ready to REDefine the Road with the Redline 360c.
 

What firmware version

Firmware 1.6 is the newest version. You can check the firmware version on your unit by holding the “mark” and “mute” buttons during power up. If you have an earlier version it’s very easy to update to the newest firmware version (highly recommended) using Escort’s Detector Tools app or through a WiFi connection.

Take movie nights to the next level with this 5.1.2 VIZIO home theater sound system. It has Dolby Atmos technology built-in, so sound seems to come from all around you, and a six-inch powerful subwoofer creates thumping bass you can feel. This VIZIO home theater sound system has a main sound bar that produces rich, clear audio.
 

Is this a new unit

It depends on what you mean by new. If you mean not used, the answer is yes- the seller would have to list it as used or refurbished if that was the case. If you are asking if the soundbar was a recent addition to the Vizio product line, the answer is no. This model has been available for at least a year.

The Reference Premiere RP-280FA floorstanding speaker is built upon the same technology and power as the RP-280F floorstanding speaker, but with an elevation channel integrated into the top of the speaker to reflect sound off the ceiling to deliver the overhead Dolby Atmos experience.
 

What are the center and surround matching speakers?

The Klipsch website can be helpful. I would stay in the Reference Premiere(RP) line and not the lower priced, often on sale Reference(R) line. If you purchase the RP-280FA, you are getting an incredible deal on a great pair of speakers. You may have to buy the rest of the setup from the newest Reference Premiere line at full price, but you will have a great setup for hours of home theatre and music listening pleasure for years to come.

the authorized klipsch page claims the rp-280 fa is 150 watts continuous and 600w peak, while best buy is claiming 900w peak. are these an updated model? is best buy playing fast and loose with the specs?

The RP280FA is actually two speakers in one cabinet (including separate speaker wire terminals), a front firing floor speaker and an upward firing atmos speaker. The 900 watt figure quoted by Best Buy is a sum of 600 watts for the floor speaker and 300 for the atmos speaker.

To anyone wondering, these are NOT considered real Klipsch, they are department store speakers and nothing more, made dirt cheap over sea's. PWK would roll in his grave if he saw this with his name on it. You go to a Klipsch dealer to buy the real ones.

It’s true that these speakers, like the majority of current Klipsch products, are imported. RP-280SA are from the Reference Premiere line, which is a definite step above that Reference series found on the shelves at any Best Buy. The RP-280SA is an Atmos ready speaker. I purchased a pair as part of a major upgrade to my home theater room, and I don’t think you can touch their performance at the current clearance price.
