Great budget 4k

Got this for my stepdad. He really likes the Roku interface. He uses headphones with it mostly, but of course you'd probably want to add a soundbar. I'd recommend using the optic input rather than the HDMI ARC input with your soundbar in all TCL TVs because the TVs can't pass a DTS signal through the ARC.

This movie in blu is light years ahead of the DVD version. If you are a fan of this film then you NEED to own the Blu Ray copy. It looks and sounds incredible versus the DVD version. Tell that chicken hearted son of yours to name the place and name the time because now he's got to fight me!

I'd never actually seen this movie prior to purchase, but it came highly recommended from my best friend and a few coworkers so I decided to take a shot. Glad I did. This movie is excellent on so many levels. Ferrell and Reilly work so well together. If you haven't seen this film then you definitely should! It's worth your time. Looks and sounds excellent in Blu.

horrible experience
on June 29, 2020
Posted by: stallion
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had to get two replacements from TCL due to dark edges. They tried to play it off as a "vignette effect" which is just another term for cheap, low quality panel. HDR was horribly dark, and this thing doesn't pass a DTS signal. Soooooo if you pop in a blu-ray that is enoded in DTS, it won't play audio through the soundbar if you're hooked up through arc. You'd have to get a soundbar with a 4k HDR passthrough if you want to play DTS encoded blu-rays with any TCL Roku TV or any 4k HDR UHD discs encoded in DTS. And you WILL need a soundbar with the thing bc the included speakers are terrible. Just know that your TV can't pass a DTS signal from a blu ray player to the soundbar via the ARC so what good is it?

magnolia on a budget
on June 29, 2020
Posted by: stallion
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got it because it was in the Magnolia section, and was the cheapest thing there so I could say that my whole entertainment center is Magnolia. Samsung QLED, Klispch RSB-6 and now the UBP-UX80. It was on sale for like $199. Sometimes you have to eject and reinsert Disney blu-rays because for whatever reason, the don't read them correctly the first time. But this only happens with Disney blu-rays. Other than that, it's worked just fine. I've had it over a year and there haven't been any new firmware or software updates since the initial one after I bought it.

Stephen Herek directed Married...With Children supporting player Christina Applegate in the comedy Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. The movie makes its way to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials are limited to cast and crew biographies. This is a minor, but solid release from HBO/Rysher that should satisfy fans of the film, especially when one considers the inexpensive list price.

Interestingly, this is one of those films that never made it to blu-ray so this is the best version you'll ever get. So buy it now! I stumbled upon it on the value rack for like $3.99 so I had to get it. This movie totally takes me back. It was cool watching it again like 25 years later. The DVD version upscaled on my 4k TV looks just fine. Dishes are done, man!

I had the other blu-ray version, but saw this one on the value rack with the liger slipcover, and I had to have it since I'm a huge fan of this film. It's the same blu-ray version, but with different print on the disc, and some other goodies including the DVD. If you get a chance you should watch it with your soul mate. Peace.

This is an audio and video masterpiece. I already had the blu ray version, but saw this one on sale at the time so I had to act on it. The 4k version really ties the room together. Just make sure to keep it away from Wu...he might pee on it. And Brandt can't watch...or he'll have to pay $100. I'm just gonna go find a cash machine...

GREAT DVD'S BUT...
By TRACE from Chicago, IL, USA
...The packaging of this DVD set SUCKS!
The DVD's are packed three high which means you have to take two off to get to the bottom one!
Also one of the DVD's wasn't labeled correctly.
This would make a terrific Seinfeld episode.
I can just imagine Kramer complaining about this.
I wonder if they did this on purpose for a joke.

Outstanding AMD Ryzen Laptop
By SlowMN from Temecula, CA
The Dell Inspiron 14 7000 2-in-1-14 inch AMD Ryzen 7 Laptop is truly outstanding and checks practically every box from design to performance. I have used Dell Laptops for many years and when I saw the most recent lineup included the Ryzen 7 CPU I was ecstatic. The setup was fast and straightforward. Dell even included a pop up warranty registration form you can fill out and submit. It creates an account and registers the computer. Should you ever need warranty support/service within the provided period you are set.
Pros:
* Design - Simply put, the Sandstorm color looks high class. It includes a backlit keyboard. The laptop chassis feels well built and is lightweight only weighing slightly over 5 lbs. It does not have a CD/DVD drive which I prefer because it decreases the bulkiness of the laptop as well as reduces the weight. Practically every software program is available digitally and if for some reason it is not you can easily attach an external CD/DVD drive. Lastly, I find the 14 inch screen size is ideal for everyday tasks. Laptops with screens larger than 14 inches feel bulky/oversized and screens smaller than 14 inches can be difficult to read text on.
* Tablet mode - This adds great functionality to the laptop making the screen touch friendly. It is an ideal feature for those who want the ability to take handwritten notes with an Active Pen you can buy separately. I have no doubt it will be able to withstand repeated 360 degree flips into tablet mode given its well made chassis.
* Hardware - The Ryzen 7 processor included in this laptop makes it one of the best in its class. It sports an 8 core 16 thread processor which is an absolute beast. If you try to find an Intel based system with a similar processor expect to spend significantly more to achieve the same or less performance. It includes a 512 GB SSD which is great considering most laptops in this price range come with a 256 GB. It includes 16 GB of DDR4 RAM which is really the sweet spot for the large majority of users. I had no trouble multitasking between multiple browser tabs, Netflix, and Microsoft office. The integrated AMD Radeon Graphics also supported light gaming (Minecraft) without any issues; however, remember this is not designed to be a gaming laptop so take that into consideration when purchasing.
* WIFI 6 Connectivity - Dell included the necessary hardware to support the newest WIFI technology, WIFI 6. If you have a compatible WIFI 6 router, you will be able to take advantage of even faster, more stable speeds. I have the Linksys Max Stream AX6000 WIFI 6 router and this laptop is able to take advantage of the new 802.11 ax standard.
* HD webcam with cover - The included built in sliding cover was a great addition. I hated having to put a piece of tape over the camera or add an external webcam cover.
* Fingerprint reader - I have always liked having the ability to sync my fingerprint for quick access.
* Touchpad - It is very responsive and accurate. I had no issues with it not registering clicks.
* Nice assortment of ports - It includes a HDMI, two 3.2 Gen 1 USB, headphone/microphone jack, built-in media reader, and Thunderbolt 3 type-C.
Overall, I really like this laptop. Dell did a great job with the design and included hardware. It offers great aesthetics and performance for the price. I highly recommend it.

Simplify administrative tasks with this Brother multifunction laser printer. Its 250-sheet paper capacity requires fewer refills while handling letter-size and legal-size paper for professional-looking documents, and the two-sided printing function at 36 ppm* helps save on paper costs. This Brother multifunction laser printer has wireless capability for printing from any portable device.

Great Entry Level Office Printer
By Trobadour from Hidalgo, TX
---SETUP---
The setup for the Brother DCP L2250 printer may require some help because of its bulky size and weight. It is recommended that you download the software via a computer instead of a mobile phone, so that’s what I did. Installation was a breeze and connecting the printer to my WiFi network was simple with the WPS button from my router and the WiFi button on the printer.
---FEATURES---
The key feature of this printer is that it can hold 250 pages in the tray, can print double-sided, can print wirelessly, and is an all in one solution for businesses (print, scan, fax).
---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of this printer is fast for small business needs. I’m a teacher and sometimes the school’s printer fails or is being used by many of my coworkers. I took this printer to my classroom and I printed 50 pages, front and back in about 5 minutes (it can do 36 pages per minute when single sided). The printer didn’t slow down and all pages came out with a great crisp look.
---EXPECTATIONS---
The product meets my expectations. I tried out the scanner mode on a wrinkled certificate award that I had received but valued. I fed it through the top auto-document feeder and it scanned my certificate in full color perfectly. I then printed a copy just to test out the side feeder using cardstock and the printer didn’t fail to impress. The only downside I found to the printer is that in the button panel itself, it only had buttons for up and down arrows to navigate. The problem is that frequently, you are asked to make options that are left and right of each other with arrows pointing up or down as your choices. This gets confusing and slows down productivity, but it just takes some time to relearn it’s quirks. I would have prefered a whole crosspad (up, down, left, right arrows) for easier menu navigation when not printing directly from a computer or mobile phone.
---VALUE---
The price for the printer in terms of value is quite competitive compared to other laser printers.
---APPROVAL---
I highly recommend this product for people who own businesses and are looking for an all in one solution to their business needs. This printer uses toner instead of ink and can only print in black and white. If your business fits this criteria, it’s a great entry level office printer with a few odd choices for button options. Still, it won’t disappoint.

Denon Virtual Surround technology creates a powerful, realistic home theater experience through Dolby Digital, DTS Decoding and the Denon-proprietary Dialogue Enhancer for crystal clear dialogue at any volume.

Easily connect your TV to the HDMI (with Audio Return Channel) with the included HDMI cable. An Optical input allows for connecting an additional device. Wirelessly pair your Bluetooth capable devices to the Denon DHT-S316 and stream your favorite music easily.
 

One of my friend said; Polk Signa S2 & Denon DHT S316 are same, technically! Is it so?

Honestly, when I saw pictures of the Denon DHT-S316 I thought something was very suspicious. It looks EXACTLY like the Signa S2. If you look at the specs, the sizes and weights of the two bars and subs are EXACTLY THE SAME as well as the power output of 40W for the bar and sub each. So I googled whether DENON was owned by Polk. "Sound United, the company behind Polk and Definitive Technology, has announced it has acquired D+M Group, which is home to audio brands Denon and Marantz," according to CNET on March 1, 2017. My guess is that they are pretty much exactly the same, but slap a higher end brand name like Denon on it, throw it under "Magnolia" and jack the price up $150, your ears will never know...I've heard the S2 but not the Denon, but I'd bet dollars to donuts they sound EXACTLY the same.
