"There is no gene for the human spirit." (Vincent)
on November 8, 2022
Posted by: TheUncool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent sci-fi cautionary tale of a sort of dystopian future where genetic engineering has been perfected and dominates society w/ elitist bend/influences, and very solid, worthwhile upgrade to 4K disc format.

From executive producer Tom Hanks, the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of a collection of soldiers from the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Armed Forces, also known as "Easy Company", during World War II. The ten-episode story spans from 1942 during the group's training to the conclusion of fighting in Europe, and focuses on the experiences and tribulations of the individuals fighting for the Stars and Stripes in addition to important events such as D-Day and the liberation of Holocaust survivors. The series features stars including Damian Lewis (Homeland), Ron Livingston (Office Space), Donnie Wahlberg and Michael Fassbender.

Must-see Mini-Series of this type in excellent BD!
on November 8, 2022
Posted by: TheUncool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent BD set of top notch, highly acclaimed, dramatized mini-series about a leading American regiment of paratroopers that was pivotal toward the Allies' victory against Germany in WWII. Must-see, if at all interested in such subject matter, and must-own for any fan of such movies and mini-series.

At just 1 inch thick, PowerPort PD Nano packs 20W of power into a package the size of a 5W iPhone charger. Capable of charging flagship iPhone models to 50% in 30 minutes (including iPhone 14). Use a USB C-C or USB C-Lightning cable to quickly charge your devices.

Excellent, small, reliable, 20W PD fast charger
on November 8, 2022
Posted by: TheUncool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent, small, reliable, well-priced, 20W PD fast charger from one of the best in the bizz... Perfect for today's smartphones, especially if you need one that's small and fairly portable (and don't need more juice for bigger devices/laptops). Do note it uses USB-C connection (as typical for higher power PD), not regular USB though.
Some might wish the plug prongs retractable for greater portability (though that usually involves other compromises), but will have to look elsewhere for that.

Best 4K streamer under $200
on November 8, 2022
Posted by: TheUncool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Best 4K streamer under $200... especially at the new lower prices... though now surpassed by the very new 3rd gen version, which offers greater potential, but no realizable diffs yet so far.

Use the Apple Gift Card to get products, accessories, apps, games, music, movies, TV shows, and more. Spend it on in-app content, books, subscriptions like iCloud+ storage to secure files from all your Apple devices. This gift card does it all. And then some.

Excellent 4K disc for an excellent Bond entry...
on November 15, 2021
Posted by: TheUncool
Verified Purchase:Yes
2nd best of the Daniel Craig Bond flicks after Casino Royale, and excellent quality 4K disc. Too bad the Casino Royale 4K disc doesn't look as good as this.

Excellent WiFi 6 Router
on November 2, 2021
Posted by: TheUncool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent, fast/powerful, dual-band, WiFi 6 Router for a moderate size home. Can be set up in ASUS's own mesh mode (AiMesh) to work w/ additional ASUS router(s)/AP(s) if more reach/coverage is needed in a larger home/space.

Comes w/ solid malware protection built-in at no extra charges (unlike various other brands). Good amount of flexibility, including per-device access scheduling and filters, if parental controls needed.

Probably the best sub-$200 4K UHD player
on May 13, 2021
Posted by: TheUncool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Very solid 4K UHD player, especially for under $200 -- it can sometimes be found on sale for as little as ~$150. Probably the best tonemapping in this range for handling HDR, especially if your display can't do full HDR10 (like pretty much all projectors), though it doesn't support Dolby Vision, which should be just fine for all except some very discriminating videophiles w/ the best DV-capable setup -- most folks probably won't notice the diff at all.
Just wish it also included SACD playback like the Sony counterparts, but otherwise, probably the best sub-$200 4K UHD player on the market, if you don't really need DV support...

Passable sequel for iconic, action franchise
on May 13, 2021
Posted by: TheUncool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Nice to have Linda Hamilton (along w/ Arnie of course) back for this otherwise merely passable sequel for this iconic, blockbuster action franchise that deserves the 4K/HDR/Atmos treatment well enough. Better than most of the other sequels in the franchise other than T2 of course... though definitely wait for a good sale.

In a world where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws, Detective Angela Abar (Regina King) investigates the reawakening of an extremist terrorist group as they plan to start a mutiny against government agencies. This set contains every episode from the critically-acclaimed HBO limited series.

Excellent Sequel Miniseries
on January 9, 2021
Posted by: TheUncool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent sequel (of sorts) miniseries although it (arguably) follows the original graphic novel miniseries more closely than the 2009 movie adaptation, so some referenced details will differ for those who are only familiar w/ that movie, but shouldn't be too jarring.
Certainly worth owning if substantially discounted on sale (as usual)...
