A MUST HAVE 4K version!
on August 5, 2022
Posted by: Cobra
Verified Purchase:Yes
A New Hope was the first of the saga out of the gate. Many feel it's probably one of the best of all the films in the saga even to this date. The 4K transfer of this film is beyond stunning. I've got an LG-G2 77" OLED (that's been fully calibrated) and you can actually see details you never knew where there.
An example is R2D2. The detail is so revealing in this 4K transfer version, that you can actually see fingerprints on the robots round black eye! I'm sure the director never dreamed that 4K would be coming along and reveal this level of detail, but it just adds new depth and dimension to this classic film. This is a MUST HAVE if you're a collector of this epic saga.

Some of the best Light Saber fights in the entire saga. The 4K version of this film is beyond stunning. If you've got a decent subwoofer you are going to be floored!

This is the follow-up story to the ground breaking original Blade Runner. You get both the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray versions of the film. They play extremely well visually and the audio is frightening if you have a decent subwoofer!

A MUST HAVE INCLUSION!
on August 5, 2022
Posted by: Cobra
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had pretty much every Best Buy protection package they've offered since the early 90's. However, the Total Protection package is hands down the most comprehensive and valuable I've ever gotten. This package automatically covers EVERY single thing you purchase from Best Buy and Magnolia, while under the duration of the protection package.
It covers all appliances, electronics and everything else you purchase. You don't have to do a thing. Everything is automatically covered whether you purchase in the store or online.
In the past, we all had to purchase separate protection packages for EACH item. Well, not anymore! I don't know how much longer Best Buy is going to be able to continue offering this, because it's got to be costing them big time . . . but until they end it . . . I'm enjoying this all the way to the bank :)

It has the latest Intel processor and graphics so it can handle what you throw at it. Create seamlessly: Quickly transfer any file almost any device to your PC without cables, clouds, thumb drives, or hassle with HP QuickDrop.

So turn it on for the 5MP camera with Auto Frame, and AI noise reduction. It also features a physical camera shutter for privacy, because when you~re on, you~re on, and when you~re not, you~re not. Because little things make a big difference: Containing ocean-bound plastic, recycled aluminum and EPEAT Gold and ENERGY STAR ratings, make a difference, along with a great choice.

Can't go wrong with Clapton!
on July 8, 2022
Posted by: Cobra
Verified Purchase:Yes
You can never go wrong with Clapton. This is him with a solid small backup band of really talented musicians. A drummer, a Hammond organ player, an electric piano player and a smooth 5 string base player, along with two soulful female singers. They all blend perfectly with each other. Eric is in his 70's in this live performance at the Royal Albert in London but he can still rock the house.
My all-time favorite Clapton performance was also at this same Royal Albert pavilion when he cut his "24 Nights" live album way back in 1990. That was hands down the best he's ever done, but this performance is also quite good. I only wish this was in 4K Dolby Vision, but the video disc and the two accompanying musical CD's of the same concert are very clean.

My Toshiba laptop can't detect my new eero ax network. Will this allow me to detect and connect to it?

It certainly should providing the distance is within reasonable tolerance. Mine works at a distance of about 200 feet. The only way to know is to simply try it. Best Buy said it's fully returnable within a few weeks.

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.
