Great 4K Streaming Box
on August 5, 2022
Posted by: Cobra
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have two of these in my home in different rooms. I really like this new 2022 4K streaming box. I also tried the highly praised Apple 4K streaming box, but found (at least with my system) it was not as good a picture as the new 2022 Roku Ultra.

Sadly, I had issues with mine :(

Verified Purchase:Yes
Alright, here's the deal at least as it was for me. I originally had the 2022 Roku Ultra streaming box and was really liking it. Some folks told me the Apple 4K streaming box was better, so I took the plunge and got it just to do an A/B comparison.
I don't know if I got a bad box or what, but the image wasn't anywhere near as good as the 2022 Roku Ultra. The picture on the Apple box was significantly more grainy and not what I expected. I had it configured correctly, but I couldn't get the picture I wanted. So, it got returned. You're mileage with the Apple box may be much better, but for me on my LG-G2 77" OLED (fully calibrated I may add) it was not all the great.
The Apple box has gotten excellent reviews and I fully acknowledge that fact. It just didn't work so well for me. Probably, a faulty box. I think you should give it a try, but the 2022 Roku Ultra streamer is REALLY good, at a much lower price at that.

A great drama and old gangster film

Verified Purchase:Yes
The 4K transfer alone is worth this purchase. This film is loaded with top Hollywood actors and what a job they did. I already had this film and after I saw the stunning new 4K transfer I just had to have this version as well.

This classic film never looked better.
on August 5, 2022
Posted by: Cobra
Verified Purchase:Yes
This 4K transfer for the 60th Aniv. of this classic film is beyond stunning! This is the film that made another Hollywood famous director want to get into film making (Martin Scorsese). The desert scenes are more detailed and stunning than ever before with this magnificent 4K transfer. This is a "must-have" film for any collection!

If you like violence, you'll love this
on August 5, 2022
Posted by: Cobra
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'll warn you right up front . . . this is a VERY violent film, but the story does sort of hold your interest. I wasn't thrilled with the ending, but it is what it is I guess. A lot of the film is visually quite dark, but that adds to the mood of the period it represents I guess. I'm kind of on the fence about the purchase, but I'll keep it and probably play it again at some future point.

Martin Scorsese's powerful and profane portrait of '90s-era excess offers a darkly funny take on the memoirs of Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), the boiler-room trading impresario whose relentless shilling of penny stocks-and equally relentless consumption of high-grade pharmaceuticals-made his downfall at the hands of the feds all but inevitable. Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Jon Favreau also star. 179 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD 7.1 Master Audio, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), French, Spanish; featurettes.

A film that's been around for a while, but the 4K UHD transfer here is definitely worth getting this version to show off your 4K display device. Yeah, it's that good!

The story is great, but what REALLY makes this film worth owning is the stunning visuals in this impeccable 4K transfer. You really have to own this and it will easily become one of your "show-off your 4K set films".

Luke finally comes of age and takes on his father, as we all know. What makes watching this again is this new beautiful 4K transfer of this masterful film. The details and colors are stunning and if you've got a decent subwoofer you're going to be rocked!

I love the introduction of the new characters. The entrance of a female Jedi warrior in training is handled perfectly and is very timely. They got her character perfect and the entire film is stunning on 4K.

Is there an excellent 32 inch monitor to good with this super PC? Does it have to be HP?
Hi Tony! I posted the very first review for this great computer. The monitor I chose was the LG - 27UK600-W 27" IPS LED 4K UHD FreeSync Monitor . . . and I love it. Best Buy had a great price on it at the time. No, you don't need an HP monitor at all, although they are very good as well. The only tricky thing initially was finding the on/off switch for the monitor LOL! It's located near the top of the pedestal arm on the back of the monitor. I know you're set on a 32" monitor and there are great choices for those as well. I too was initially thinking I wanted a 32" monitor, but chose this 27". I think you'll choose what is best for you.
