This set contains all three films from the Wachowski Siblings' The Matrix franchise. In The Matrix, a computer programmer discovers he is the only one able to save mankind from the machines; in The Matrix Reloaded, Neo must protect the Resistance from a rapidly approaching fate; in The Matrix Revolutions, Neo fights to end the war once and for all as the Machines locate the human city of Zion.

Mark Wahlberg leads an all-star cast in this unforgettably powerful film inspired by a thrilling story of real-life heroes. For the one hundred and twenty-six people aboard the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig, April 20, 2010, began like any normal day. Before day's end, the world would bear witness to one of the greatest man-made disasters in U.S. history. DEEPWATER HORIZON reveals the brave acts of the men and women who rose to the challenge-and risked everything to lead others to safety.

More Equalizer Goodness
on December 26, 2018
Posted by: StrayCat25
from Kissimmee, FL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you liked the first Equalizer, you’ll like this one too. The Equalizer 2 feels not so much like a sequel, more like the next week’s episode of one of your favorite TV shows. Denzel is in fine form, and the action keeps coming. As in the first Equalizer 4k disc, the picture is excellent and the audio is one of the best available.

Planet of the Apes Completeness
on December 26, 2018
Posted by: StrayCat25
from Kissimmee, FL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The main attraction here is the three newest films in 4k. They are all good films and the presentations are excellent. As I write this, the set is priced less than the total cost of these three purchased separately. On top of that, you get all five of the original films (the first of which is an absolute classic) and the abysmal, mostly forgotten remake with Mark Wahlberg. Truly one of the most comprehensive disc sets out there, and a bargain at the current BB price.

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. This compact, easy-to-install device quickly integrates with existing systems and includes a powerful battery that offers years of use before replacement. 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.

Is the wireless keyboard back lighted?

No, it’s not, but it’s compact, the keys have just the right touch and it doesn’t slide around on the desk. I like it.

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.
