![The Great Gatsby [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2013]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/b98b54df-01a0-4aa8-8175-a385ab47f3e5.jpg)

Good but no Dolby Atmos track.

The 4K is good, but honestly I don’t think it’s worth the upgrade over the Blu-ray version. The computer generated landscapes used in many scenes look more fake in 4K, and there is no audio upgrade. This movie would sound SO GOOD in Atmos, bummer it didn’t happen. If it’s the same price as the Blu-ray, buy the 4K version, otherwise go with the Blu-ray.

The frame is pretty thick, and I now find the 40” to be too small. 43” is the gold standard of minimum TV sizes. But operating system works good.

Upgrade your home entertainment setup with this 43-inch Samsung LED Smart TV. Tizen OS provides access to popular streaming services, while the 4K Ultra HD resolution delivers true-to-life picture quality. This Samsung LED Smart TV is compatible with several virtual assistants for voice control, and the HDMI and USB inputs connect to external sources.

I have the 40” Samsung as well for a smaller room and now wish I would had the 43” for both rooms. I’m kind of amazed by the difference 3 extra inches make.

Introducing Nintendo Switch, the new home video game system from Nintendo. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system can be taken on the go so players can enjoy a full home console experience anytime, anywhere. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system, with unprecedented new play styles brought to life by the two new Joy-Con controllers.PLAY ANYWHEREAt home the system rests in the Nintendo Switch dock, which lets you play with family and friends on a TV in the comfort of your living room.By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock at any time, the system instantly transitions to handheld mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its 6.2-inch screen, which displays bright, high-definition gameplay at the park, on an airplane, in a car, or at a friend's apartment.Nintendo Switch comes with two Joy-Con that can each act as a standalone controller with an analog stick, a full complement of face and shoulder buttons, built in motion-sensing technology and new HD Rumble. They can be inserted into a Joy-Con grip accessory to be used like a traditional controller, held comfortably in each hand for independent left and right motion controls, or shared between two players for instant multiplayer gaming in front of the TV or out on the go.This bundle includes the Nintendo Switch console and Nintendo Switch dock in black, and left and right Joy~Con controllers in a contrasting gray. It also includes all the extras you need to get started.

Blu-ray is perfectly fine vs. the 4K release.

I saw it on 4K, and didn’t think it was much of an upgrade. The colors are more natural in the 4K version, but less vivid. I went with the much cheaper $5 blu-ray version instead and gave myself a high-five after viewing.

Such a good movie. I was surprised there is no 4K Ultra HD release (as of 2021), I would of preferred it in 4K, but the Blu-ray looks great.

The more advanced and more expensive Ecobee comes with Alexa, which I find annoying, so the lite version for me is way better value.

Excellent value on these two classic movies for the price of one, in 4K. They never looked better, especially Braveheart with some notable colorization upgrades.

NotoriousEGB's Review Comments
Let~s start with a quick round up. This is the best all-round TV. Hands down. Movies, gaming, sports... it~ll handle anything you can throw at it and look great doing it (try not to actually throw stuff, it~s just a figure of speech). No surprise when it~s got 4K resolution, Quantum Dot Color, Dolby Vision HDR, 120Hz native panel, Full Array Local Dimming Zones, anti-glare panel and powerful 1,500 nit peak brightness. What does all that mean? It~s like gazing at the sun melting into the Mediterranean Sea from Ibiza~s coolest bars. But sitting on your couch. At home. Then for gaming, we added Variable Refresh rate, Auto Low Latency Mode and FreeSync Premium to make the most of the latest generation gaming platforms. Even if you don~t know what half this stuff means, one look at the picture and you~ll want it.
Overall3 out of 5
3 out of 5Not good for Apple/Sonos users
By NotoriousEGB
Amazing picture quality for this price range, it’s better than my $1800 Samsung. It would easily get 5 stars from me if it worked better with Apple TV and the Apple+ app.
I have a brand new Apple TV 4K (2021) and Sonos Arc to go along with the new Hisense. I’m a heavy apple user, so I downloaded the Apple TV+ app. After about 5-10 seconds, the content freezes regardless if it’s in HD or not. The Apple app is brand new to the Android TV, so I figure it will work someday in the future, however I didn’t want to wait that long so I hooked up the Apple TV 4K, and there are some problems. There are MAJOR audio delays when watching anything that is not in Dolby Atmos (which is like 75% of everything). I tried using every settting from every device, and the problem persists. I’m assuming this problem is a Hisense issue and not a Sonos or Apple problem, because it all works just fine on my Samsung TV. I hope this issue gets resolved soon, because I LOVE everything else about the TV. But if it doesn’t get resolved in the next 15 days I may have to return the TV.

Firmware update

I have been in contact with Hisense. They have assured me that a new firmware update will be released next week that should resolve the problem. Keeping my fingers crossed.

NotoriousEGB's Questions
The three standmount speakers - 705 S3, 706 S3, and 707 S3 work best when positioned in their ideal listening position and at the correct height with the elegant Bowers & Wilkins FS-700 S3 stands that handle both tasks perfectly and are available in complementary black or silver finishes. Their upgraded design includes a subtle curvature to each column to match the front baffle of each speaker, a bright metal detail running up that column to further accent their premium design, and fillable columns that can be mass-loaded for outstanding stability and quietness. Features cable management to avoid wire clutter across your living room floor, ensuring a cleaner look. Includes an option of securely bolting each model of speaker to the top-plate of the stand, ensuring optimum safety
Will the bolt holes lineup with the B&W CM1 or CM5 speakers?

Immerse yourself in movies and games with these SVS Prime Elevation home theater speakers. Their frequency range of 55Hz - 25kHz adds height effects to thrilling movie scenes, and their multi-angle wall brackets provide flexible placement options. Install this pair of multipurpose SVS Prime Elevation home theater speakers as surround sound or LCR components to suit your space.
How will these sound as front height speakers (not mounted to wall but upside down on a high book shelf so that it’s angled down, about 18 feet away from listening position) to complete a 7.1 configuration? Will it sound good with Atmos?
