If you have seen any of the Fast & Furious series movies, “you know the drill.” Check your brain at the door, put on the disc, sit back, suspend all disbelief (abandon reason and expecting the plot to make sense) and enjoy the ride !
Two hours of rollicking action.
Good video and audio. The ATMOS is excellent to test out your system ! Great sharpness in 4K.

Thanks Best Buy for the Steelbook version which was about 50% off regular 4K UHD price!
The package came in perfect condition.
Recommended as long as you do not expect the plot to make sense. It is built around great scenery, great “special effects,” and cool cars !

Samsung's top-load washer has a large 5.0 cu ft. capacity to help you fit more in every load and cut down on laundry time, leaving more time for you. It is also equipped with Active WaterJet - a built-in faucet that lets you pre-treat stained clothes with a press of a button - and an EZ Access tub design that allows you to easily reach the bottom of the washer tub, stretch-free.

We really like this wash machine by LG. It is big enough to wash blankets, bed spreads, etc. There is no central tube to block things or get items wrapped around.
Very quiet ! Nice.
Simple to use, yet sophisticated enough to do anything. It is “energy efficient.”
Clothes & towels come out very clean.
Best Buy delivered and set up for free, but of course there was a charge for removal.
BB deliverers did a nice clean job with everything !
Thanks BB !

From the silver door trim and knob accents to the glass door that lets you quickly check on clothes, this LG dryer brings an easy style to any laundry space. Drying is easier, too, thanks to the LG Sensor Dry system that measures moisture levels throughout the cycle and automatically adjusts drying time~no more damp clothes or overdrying.

It’s a simple micro, but simply works great !
on May 14, 2021
Posted by: TJMI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Our old microwave (only 5 years old) gave out. We realized that we were not using it for anything sizable (mostly reheating tea), and decided to go down in size as much as possible. This, as small as it is, saves a lot of counter space AND still has everything we need it for. I like the door, as it has no spring hinge on it (the last one wore out and it was hard to open as a result). Straight manual pull open and push shut ! This seems to heat evenly and quickly as it has the necessary wattage. And it is quiet.
Best Buy had it on sale, so even better ! Thanks.

3 out of 5The picture is good but not 2K more good
By Karma
Hi,
For some reason this TV picture does not look as good as my 5 year old Samsung. It's very good but for some reason looks muddy. I can't get The Geek Squad to respond. So you pay 4K for a tv that you really can get in LG or Samsung for 2K less and I can't see a difference is picture quality really. So if you are willing to way overpay for a tv then you will love this.

There is a reason your 4K screen looks “muddy”
November 6, 2019
Wish you had (a) done your “homework” and (b) that you had received honest sales counseling. You are likely watching broadcast 1080i or 720p material. THAT WILL ALWAYS LOOK WORSE ON A 4K SCREEN. The upconversion HAS to “make up” what is NOT there.
4K material )as you see at BB is going to look jaw-dropping awesome. Broadcast (cable or satellite) is 98% NON-4K.
So guess what ? Muddy look. And even worse? 8K is being forced on us.

3 out of 5Not Sure what to think
By Patrick
Hey everyone heres my take on the 55 inch version of the C9. The unboxing experience was great have zero complaints towards the packaging. After viewing netflix youtube and 4k blurays it is superb and I will not deny it's the best I have personally viewed. How ever I'm left in this grey area due to the fact everywhere I go I see people ranting not to get the tv due to burn in. I have read reviews stating the tvs last anywhere from a week to 2 years before they go faulty. This is a concern to me as this isnt some cheap tv that everyone can afford to fork out the cash for and with that you would expect not to deal with these issues. So I went and contacted LG they do not cover burn in the tv comes with a limited hardware warranty for one year with that being said i guess the decision is are you willing to take a gamble on the tv lasting less then 2 years even though it's got the best picture you will see. For me I'm on the fence with returning this as I cant afford this tv to last a short lifespan for the price. Thanks hope this helps others

By Imeddy8
I recently purchased a 65" A8G because the price was unbeatable. Unfortunately, Sonos announced the ARC and I wanted eARC for uncompressed Dolby Atmos. Just picked this up a week ago and I'm in love. It's way faster loading apps and the Dolby Vision Bright (or Day) is a game changer. Gone is the dim reputation of OLED'S. It's bright, vibrant, and the picture quality is second to none. You buy an OLED for the contrast. You buy a Sony OLED for the processing. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5Awesome OLED Picture
By 7of9
If you are wanting to buy an OLED, Beware, if 80% of your TV viewing is Cable TV, like Spectrum or Xfinity or Antenna Free TV, Sony is the only brand that can perform the best up conversion to bring you an amazing blurry free picture period! I bought the LG E9 65' Series and what a mistake that was, constant blurry picture and yes, even with Audioquest Ocean HDMI Cables and exchanging out 7 cable boxes. It was a great disappointment and come to find out, LG OLED's are tuned for gamers and internet streaming, any other viewing outside of the mentioned, they are terrible. With Best Buy 14 day hassle free exchange policy, I chose to exchange it for the 2020 Sony A8H OLED and in my opinion it is the BEST OLED money can buy but most importantly the quality of viewing that the X1 Processor delivers for cable TV viewing! If they can do this great on HD and under 1080 up-conversion, imagine how breath taking it is at 4k or Internet Streaming, which I have witness in my home, unbelievable, both of best worlds! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Excellent comments. Mr 7of9 has hit on the “dirty secret” of 4K panels. 1080i (2K) looks terrible on 4K TVs ! SONY still has thee best upconversion of broadcast programs (99% of what your cable shows)

By Bardeg
I am watching cable TV and sports 80% of my time, sometimes Netflix so i am very picky, i wanted TV with awesome upscaling.
in last 2 weeks, I tested at home 65Z9F, 75Z9F, 65B9, 65A8G and finally 65A8H.
Netflix looks amazing on all TVs above.
Upscaling cable TV on A8G and A8H is on different level then other TVs, it is just amazing
Picture quality is a little bit better on A8H then A8G, but both awesome TVs. If you want to save few hundred dollars buy A8G, it is awesome TV.
Remote controller is better on A8H, WIFI seems to be more stable on A8H, sounds is perfectly fine on both.

Bardeg has done a GREAT review on the A8H, highlighting the “dirty secret” about 4K panels- many do a lousy job of “upconverting” a regular broadcast signal (1080i/720p). SONY does this the best. This is still what most of us watch Thee most.

5 out of 5Better then the Master Series
By SharNorwalk
This is my first 4K TV. All I’ve ever owned are Sony’s because of their reliability and picture quality. My last Sony was 10 years old. I thought that was incredible. This new set makes me think my old set was in black and white. The colors this set produces is just incredible. I didn’t understand what people where talking about when they said it produces black, blacks. Well now I know. Truly spectacular. I watch cable TV on it and most of the channels look like 4K even though the signal is just HD. The upscaling is wonderful. When I watch Family Feud you can see the patterns in Steve Harvey’s suits and if someone has any lint you’ll see that. You can see every line and pore in a person’s face. I can’t wait for baseball to start up to see that. I can’t wait to see every blade of grass, the lines on the baseball when it spins. Every drop of rain during a rain delay. I have to say I bought expensive UHD HDMI cable’s to hook up the TV to the cable box so that helps. I would highly recommend the “Carbon HDMI”cable’s. They have 5% silver in them and that’s a very good conductor plus the cable takes noise out of the signal. I’ve watch just regular DVD’s on it and they looked great. I played them on the Sony 4K Blu Ray player. I watch old episodes of Roseanne and they look great. The TV cuts off the sides so the picture isn’t pulled to the edges. The TV is so smart it goes out of its way, does everything it can to make a high quality picture. I just watched my first 4K movie the other night, unfortunately, it was a very lame movie but I have to say the images were to die for, crystal clear, very life like, gorgeous. You can tell by seeing just about everyone giving it 5 stars you really can’t go wrong. Of course no one can please everyone, that’s impossible. I said it’s better then the 2019 Master Series because of the new features like X Motion Clarity and ambient light feature. The lighting of the set is perfect in my opinion. If you want it brighter you can adjust it to make it brighter. They make it very easy to adjust the set. Just a click away. When I watched fireworks on it I did put it on its vivid setting so the fireworks were on fire, they looked fantastic! Well this is getting long, you get the idea. Love is in the air! Buy it already!

Prepare to be captivated. Whether you prefer dramatic thrillers or fantasy football, lose yourself in the viewing adventure w ith a contrast rich picture. Let your picture do the talking with the sleek and thin LaserSlim design. You~ll see pure blacks, bright whites and dramatic color, while the audio pulls you into the action thanks to Dolby Atmos built in and Object Tracking Sound Lite. The Samsung OLED experience doesn~t stop there shifting adventures is a breeze with access to the latest Smart TV apps and Samsung Gaming Hub. ~ ~High speed internet connection, additional gaming service subscriptions and compatible controller required.
There is on-going concern in the AV community regarding SAMSUNG still utilizing the OLD (2022) S95B panels in these S90C (early produced ones). This has been verified. So how can we as consumers ASSURE ourselves that we will, in fact get the NEWER panel?

Mixed information on this…does this Cinema 40 have a “TOROIDAL” power core, or something different ? I was told that the Toroidal power core was superior to other types and was only in the very best AVR. I think Toroidal is in previous flagship 8015.

Can these ML Gen2 bookshelf speakers be WALL MOUNTED? Do they need brackets?

Introducing Sony~s best-ever OLED TV, with awe-inspiring contrast and our brightest-ever OLED picture. The BRAVIA XR A90J OLED TV, powered by the all-new Cognitive Processor XR, features next-generation technologies that redefine the viewing experience. Engineered for beauty inside and out, the A90J brings a premium, minimalist-inspired design that fits even the most sophisticated of aesthetics.
I walked into a Best Buy and there was a 1080p blu ray version of Iron Man 2 on a A90J and a Samsung QN90A. There was much pixelation and fuzziness on the A90J and the QN90A looked so crisp. Is Sony not that good at upscaling lower resolution content?
As you might have read or heard, SONY is considered by most people in the industry as well as AV hobbyists as having THEE BEST ”upscaling” in the business. What you saw does NOT match up with professional comparisons, at all.
Obviously, you need to account for S T O R E issues (bad hdmi cable, etc.)
There is a multitude of explanations for what you apparently experienced. But THAT is just inconsistent with the norm.

Has the "blob" issue been resolved with these panels in tha A90J? For reference see https://ca.community.sony.com/s/question/0D54O000064kszGSAQ/my-sony-55in
This is a “panel lottery”- varies from panel to panel, honestly.
Most have shown to be pretty clean. And it tends to dissipate some over time.
Be more concerned about excessive “pink tint”

Can you grind coffee with this blender?
I think this is a GREAT question. I have never tried. I hate to guess (I am a coffee drinker and DO appreciate fresh ground coffee beans).
I would certainly guess “yes” but would be concerned about just exactly HOW fine it would get...but this is one very, very capable blender. It really is. I can imagine some “experimentation” of amount of time and speed would come into play.
Thanks for asking...I may research that, based on your prompting ! How cool would that option be !??

What’s the difference between the C8 and the E8 besides just model number. I am trying to decide which to purchase.
One answer provided is WRONG *(processor is the same !)
Different base on E8. Sound better on E8; the frame on E8 has a plastic sort of drop down continuous look that some people say looks as if the tv is “floating.”
Best answer is to do your own research & compare the two. I CAN tell you that the C8 has identical “picture quality” to the E8.
The C8 is commonly regarded as the “best quality for the money.”

Enjoy brilliant color and sound with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The chroma processing technology maximizes the color of 4K/HDR content, and the 7.1-channel audio output produces lifelike surround sound when connected to a home audio system. The color signals received by this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player are upgraded to produce natural textures and depth.
Will this player work with a tv that is not 4k? I have a Panasonic Plasma that I love, and I would like to keep it for a few more years.
Yes, absolutely. I will answer this a bit differently from some others. I, like you, still love my Panasonic plasma (GT 50). But I actually get a slight boost from my current OPPO 203 (just purchased the Panasonic 820 for another Panny plasma). Your question was the same as mine before my purchase. I wanted to “sort of” test out the new 4K players, and still continue another year with our gorgeous plasma...there is not too much difference as of course the 1080p is, well, still 1080p, BUT...when I hit “info button” there is DOUBLE TO TRIPLE the bit rate coming off that 4K disc from the 4K player, and it serves up about 60-80 mkbps (sp?), as compared to 2K Blu-ray of about 20-25. It DOES maximize your plasma out !
So the long & short is YES. My Panasonic tv (GT50) accepts a 4K HDMI cable that OPPO supplied. For the Penny 820, I think you will need to purchase a new HDMI cable to send the beefed-up signal to the TV. I recommend only the “Premium Certified” HDMI. A GREAT source is ”MONOCABLE.” They are an on-line business that have impeccable quality at a fraction of cost- great combo !
Best wishes. Let us know how you did !
