Excellent Movie
on January 6, 2019
Posted by: jab82

Verified Purchase:Yes
One of many favorite Denzel Washington movies. I owned the digital version in 1080p and bought this 4K disc on Black Friday. I don't think the picture quality changed much if at all. But wanted the movie on disc so a good buy- especially for the price.

Best Avengers

I wasn't crazy about the first 2 Avengers movies. Absolutely loved this one though and can't wait for #4. Picture quality is fantastic. If you've got 4K TV and 4K Disc Player it's the version to buy.

As far as the movie, I liked it better than the first Ant-Man. The 4K is just stunning. Disney's transfer was top-notch.

Now on 4K
on January 6, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Matrix was the first movie I ever bought on DVD and started an obsession with buying DVDs. I remember being blown away by the picture quality when I bought it on Blu Ray and watched it on my first 1080p TV. And now the 4K has done it again. Personally feel the 4K trilogy looks better on my 4K TV than the Blu Ray looked on my 1080p- which looked fantastic. Warner Brothers did a really good job on the transfer and encoding of this 4K version.

Good Print

Verified Purchase:Yes
Printed some 11x14 menus for a client. Really nice quality print. I have always used aftermarket/non-manufacturer ink, but have recently been having issues with them. Had a printer go "haywire" and feel that they may have been the problem. Recently got the Epson WF7720. Will probably be using manufacturer ink going forward now. Definitely notice a higher quality print with these cartridges. Thinking of buying a cheap printer and using non-manufacturer ink for non-client printing, drafts, etc.

Love It

Great quality for the price (~ $120). Was a little difficult to put together by myself, but doable. Recommend having someone else to help. Some of the metal bars seems weak/bendable, but once fully assembled the unit feels very secure and stable. I have a 55" TCL mounted to it. REALLY like that the mount swivels - now a requirement for any TV mounted stand I may buy in the future.

Great Printer

Needed a printer that could print 11x14, this one actually goes up to 13x19- great buy! Wanted the (7710?) which only has one paper tray and is smaller, but needed the printer immediately and this one was in stock at local Best Buy. Very happy with this purchase and glad I got the double paper tray so I can have different types of paper in each tray. 500 sheet capacity is also really nice. With the high quality and numerous capabilities I feel I got a steal at $199- definitely worth more.

I am purchasing a Roku Ultra. From you so I assume I’ll need a cable to hook the unit up to my older TV I believe it’s a HIME Cable (sp) to finish the install. What accessories are absolutely needed for a no problem install?

You'll need an HDMI cable. I know 4K blu-ray players need a 4K-rated HDMI cable (HDMI 2.0). The Ultra streams 4K, but don't know if HDMI needs to be 4K. Would think so. Prices on cables are low enough that you might as well get the 4K-rated one anyway. Most are probably already rated for it.

I just purchased Ultra Streaming Media Player to get TED TALKS and there is no T TALKS icon showing on the outside of the box. How do I know it will play TED TALKS? You have said it does but how do I know? What is a cheaper device to do that?

I have a roku 2 older model in my bedroom, it works excellent. I bought a roku express for the living room and it does not work well, sometimes it does not work at all, do I need a diferent roku is there a stronger one LR is about 35 ft from a arris route

The Ultra supports WIreless 802.11ac while the Express only offers 802.11b/g/n - so theoretically, yes, the Ultra would offer better connection speeds. However, it also depends on the speed of your internet and whether your router supports Wireless AC. I've also heard of people having issues with any brand of streaming player (Fire, Apple, etc.) on older TVs in general - I think in these cases it might be an HDMI issue (perhaps faulty) - where the video is reaching the streaming player quickly without issue, but the TV is having an issue processing it at the HDMI port. All of my older 1080p TVs have had issues with HDMI ports over the years. Usually going out completely after power surges.

I have a Roku Express on a TV that is not a smartTV. I also have a smartTV, but prefer the Roku on that TV. What advantages over the Express can the Ultra Streaming Media Player offer me? I am not interested in recording streamed shows.

I went with the Roku Ultra earlier this year as my first Roku device because I knew I'd be upgrading to 4K. I ended up with a Roku 4K TV (TCL) so it didn't really matter, but I still like the Roku Ultra better than any of the others I have (2 x Roku TCL 4K TVs, and 2 x Roku Express) because I really like that the controller comes with a headphone jack. Those are two main points for Ultra (4K, headphone jack remote) vs. Express (none of those things). Ultra also has a media card reader that I've used to stream online courses downloaded from the internet (that didn't have a Roku app).

Enjoy precision control with this SteelSeries Stratus XL 69050 gaming controller, which features home and back buttons and analog joysticks for seamless integration with select Android and Windows systems.
 

Can you use for steam?

That is what I purchased this for - steam games. And it worked fine. I had to do some controller mapping, but ultimately decided to go with an Xbox 1 controller. Works with the controller-enabled steam games I tried it on, including Fallout 4 and No Man's Sky.
