The Terminator returns in this explosive action-adventure spectacle. Now he's one of the good guys, sent back in time to protect John Connor, the boy destined to lead the freedom fighters of the future. Sarah Connor, John's mother, a quintessential survivor has been institutionalized for her warning of the nuclear holocaust she knows is inevitable. Together, the threesome must find a way to stop the ultimate enemy-the T-1000, the most lethal Terminator ever created.

Terminator 2 - for 2 stars

I own a lot of 4Ks and the best ones are obviously the newer movies that had 4K in mind when making the movie. This movie was only okay and if you already have the bluray version or if its a lot cheaper than I would go with that.

Matrix in 4K

I have bought a lot of 4K's recently and I have to say I was mildly disappointed in this one. I think that if you already own the blu ray then there isn't much reason to go 4K because the blu ray was a good transfer to start with. So get it if you don't have the blu ray version.

Three-disc set includes Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (2011) A research scientist (James Franco) tests a drug on a group of chimpanzees, greatly increasing their intelligence before he's forced to put them all down. That is, all but Caesar (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance), one of the test subjects' offspring, whose enhanced brain capacity enables him to lead his fellow primates in a violent revolution against humanity. Provocative reboot of the classic sci-fi film series also stars Freida Pinto, John Lithgow. 105 min. C/Rtg PG-13 Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014) Ten years after a devastating virus wiped out much of humanity, a small band of survivors in San Francisco has established an uneasy peace with chimpanzee Caesar (a motion-captured Andy Serkis who also supplies his voice) and his community of intelligent apes who live in the nearby Muir Woods. But co-existence may be ultimately out of reach as members of both species seem bound and determined to make war. Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell co-star in this hit sequel. 130 min. C/Rtg PG-13 War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017) The third chapter in the rebooted sci-fi film franchise finds ape leader Caesar's (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance) forces locked in a desperate conflict with the Colonel (Woody Harrelson), a ruthless human whose army also includes a group of traitorous primates. As the war reaches it's apex, the virus that decimated much of humanity begins to cause some of the remaining survivors to slowly devolve into more primitive creatures. With Steve Zahn, Karin Konoval, Amiah Miller.

The Planet of the Apes trilogy is 4K at its best and the story is pretty good too. The Apes look freaking real in 4K. Great action and special effects. Definitely a keeper.

Director Zhang Yimou's fantasy-tinged action epic stars Matt Damon as William Garin, a European mercenary in China during the Song Dynasty. Taken prisoner by an elite group of Chinese soldiers, Garin and his compatriot Pero Tovar (Pedro Pascal) soon find themselves aiding their captors in their desperate struggle to defend the Great Wall from the Tao Tei, monstrous creatures that launch an attack once every 60 years. Jing Tian, Andy Lau, and Willem Dafoe also star in this American/Chinese production. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

This was a cool movie. Special effects was off the chart. I haven't really cared for Tom Hardy much but he did a good job in this one. The special effects steals the show though. Great 4K

Cool Watch!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first smart watch. I have an iPhone but did not want to get an apple watch because I have always been a Casio G shock fan. This watch reminds me a lot of the G shocks in feel and look. Plus I got 3 weeks out of my first charge. Definitely not into charging a watch every night like I have to do my watch. Watch has pretty cool watch face, easier to read than G shock. Overall very satisfied with this so far.

Arlo Security Light is a 100% wire-free, weather-resistant, super-bright LED light. Easily customize your light settings from anywhere and get instant alerts when motion is detected. Automate your smart light to work intelligently by itself or with your Arlo security camera systems to cover even more angles. Use the Arlo app to remotely adjust the brightness, beam width, colors, and flashing patterns. Schedule your light for when you are at home, work, or on vacation. Power it with the included long-lasting rechargeable battery or keep it plugged in with either Arlo Solar Panel or Arlo Outdoor Adapter (sold separately). Integration with IFTTT enables custom interactions with other smart home devices. Arlo Security Light works with Amazon Alexa to let you turn your light on and off using a simple voice command.
 

How long does the Arlo 2 spotlight stay on?

The minimum time is 5 minutes once it has been tripped. You can set it up to stay on for up to 60 minutes once tripped or you can set it to always on. Of course, that runs down battery life pretty quick.

Do I need to purchase anything else for the lights to work?

You have to have an Arlo Base Station set up and then get the Spotlights that have the extender in the package. The extender sets up with the base. After you have the extender set up then you can add just the spotlight to the system. But to start, you need an Arlo base (with the camera system) and the spotlight package with the extender in it.

Enhance your entertainment experience with this Dell monitor. The 27-inch monitor delivers a vividly clear picture, with full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution and a 1,000:1 contrast ratio. Its display quality supports 16.7 million colors, and with both HDMI and VGA connectors, this Dell monitor is easy to set up.
 

My PC has 1 HDMI out and 1 DVI out. I use the HDMI for an existing monitor and I want to add this as a second monitor. Can I use a DVI to HDMI adapter to connect this monitor or will that cause compatibility problems? (I don't want any VGA.)

YOU MAY HAVE TO UPGRADE YOUR MONITOR CARD TO ACCEPT 2 DIGITAL MONITORS.

Improve your audio experience with this Samsung three-channel soundbar. This unit, which has a built-in subwoofer, channels high-resolution full-spectrum sound and eliminates the need for an extra bass speaker. Use 4K pass-through to connect your Blu-ray player or other UHD device to the Samsung three-channel soundbar for stunning multi-channel audio and a clear picture.
 

I have a 2019 Samsung TV w/ARC HDMI port. Need to connect 2 HDMI inputs: a CableBox, and a Blue-RayPlayer to the TV and soundbar. Can I use the soundbar as an AV Hub, linking 2 HDMI sources to Soundbar, with an HDMI between Soundbar and TV ARC ports?

User submitted photo
I don't think so. It only has one hdmi in (4k player, blu ray, or cable box) and one that goes out. If you put in your tv arc then you will have sound for the tv and which ever one of the three devices mentioned previously.

To run multiple devices with one hdmi out you need a receiver with multiple hdmi ins and one hdmi out to the tv arc hdmi in.

Can the sound bar be attached to a tv monitor ? on top or bottom of the monitor.

It comes with two L shaped brackets, probably about 2in by 3in. I only took a quick peak when I got it to make sure it worked and will be using it at a later date.

I think you will have to mount it below your tv because if I remember correctly the bracket holes on the speaker will be further apart than the VESA mounting holes on a tv.

Does this watch have the step counter function?

Yes. Has a step counter and when you reach your goal it notifies you. I have walked with this looking at my watch and the steps are right on count. Pretty cool and I don't know how it does it because when I am looking at it I am not swinging my arms but the count is in step.
