DEFINITIVE REVIEW of the TCL-S45H S Class 2.0
on February 25, 2025
Posted by: kuro
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are interested in this sound bar read this review first and then decide for yourself. The style is very trim and light weight due to it is all plastic. Nice looking than some. Now comes the sound. The sound is ok in some cases. It has standard, movie, music, voice, game, and sports. When it comes to bass it is terrible. There is hardly any bass sound in movies, music, etc. in any increments you increase it, except for standard where you might hear a increase. I said might, base on the source. The surround not good. Not much difference in increase. The sonic is useless. Doesn't do anything in increasing based where you are sitting. The DTS functions are not noticeable. I've been evaluating electronics and speakers for over fifty years and I am disappointed in this sound bar. Sorry TLC support group. Hoping your next model will be better and listen to the customers. Not someone who is paid to give a positive review in some cases or someone that works for the company. I know the business very well. This can be a good product. Customers know what they're talking about. Add more bass sound, better surround separation, more punch to the music. Add a built in subwoofer. That is the future for sound bars. Separate subwoofers are in the past. One piece sound bar is prefered. Too late for me to return it.

Thor Too Funny?
on January 19, 2023
Posted by: kuro
Verified Purchase:Yes
Again, a continuation of comedy from the last Thor movie, still doesn't work, when people died and you think it's funny. Time to get serious about Thor, like the first two movies. Will see.

Sad final Season

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was supremely disappointed that the final season ending like this. I am glad that HBO cancelled the series due to low ratings. This is suppose to be westworld, not something else. Didn't follow the original storyline. Why bother doing a fourth season.

Errol Flynn is Don Juan
on January 19, 2023
Posted by: kuro
Verified Purchase:Yes
Errol Fynn's last best swashbuckler, 1948 The Adventures of Don Juan. Although, getting a little older and was ill during production. Still stands out as one of his best pictures, in his body of work. Extraordinary technicolor, as if the images pop out like a masterpiece painting. You want lots of action, love story, and humor, this film is it.

PATHETIC EARTHLINGS... WHO CAN SAVE YOU NOW? Super producer Dino de Laurentiis (Dune, Barbarella) brought Alex Raymond's beloved cartoon strip and the long running movie serial to the big screen with celebrated director Mike Hodges (Get Carter, Black Rainbow) at the helm, in a delirious space opera, where Flash is King of the Impossible! Merciless Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow) decides to wreak havoc on Earth in a moment of cruel boredom. Boarding a rocket as a means of escape, star quarterback Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones), Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) and Dr. Hans Zarkov (Topol) find themselves on Mongo. Taken prisoner Flash must save Dale from becoming Ming's concubine, avoid the amorous intention's of Ming's wicked daughter Aura (Ornella Muti) and unite the warring Kingdoms of Mongo. With endlessly repeatable dialogue, inimitable camp style, the sonic stylings of Queen and a delightful band of characters and actors playing them it's no wonder Flash Gordon has become one of the most beloved sci-fi spectacles of it's era with directors such as Edgar Wright, Taika Waititi and Seth MacFarlane paying tribute to it in their work.

Amazing battle scenes highlight this glossy action/fantasy saga that spawned several sequels and a hit TV series. Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) is the Highlander, an immortal Scottish swordsman whose centuries-long conflict with a fellow unkillable warrior (Clancy Brown) comes to head in 20th-century New York City. The only way the Highlander can prevent his opponent from being the last of their kind is to decapitate him and absorb his energy. Roxanne Hart and Sean Connery co-star; music by Queen. Director's cut; 116 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack English.

There Can Be Only One! The first and best of the four films made. Sequels rarely relate to the original. Many prints were released for many years, but this 4k is the best.

Enjoy premium picture and sound quality with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Reduced vibration and compatibility with Hi-Res Audio help achieve vibrant sound reproduction, while the HCX processor delivers impressive 4K detail. The chroma processing technology on this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player enhances the color of HDR content and provides excellent color balance and sense of realism.
 

I hear so much that the 820 and the 9000 have the same internal components and the only main difference is the 9000 is metal cover and the 820 is mostly plastic and price difference. Since the 820 have several issues, wouldn't the 9000 have the same?

I am interested in this high end player. How is it different to the Pioneer elite UDP-500XL in superiority ( playback of discs, 4k, blurays and dvds)? And does it upscales to a 4:4:4 on bluray and dvd discs like the Pioneer Elite UDP-500XL?

I am interested in this Bell'o a/v stand, I need to know not just the outside measurements, but the exact inside measurements. What is the max weight each selves could hold? I am surprise that there are no caster wheels with this stand. Thanks.
