"I DO NOT STAND BY IN THE FACE OF ...AWESOME 3D!"
on July 26, 2019
Posted by: SpenceJT
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of title to seek out and purchase! James Cameron & Co have crafted an action-filled world filled with stunning sights and amazing sounds!
This release has it all!
The 4K/UHD media is nothing short of HDR visual splendor and Dolby Atmos Audio perfection
The 3D media brings with it, picture quality bordering upon that of UHD, but with the added, encompassing heightened reality that only 3D can bring! The only downside on on the 3D media is that it does not appear to include Dolby Atmos Audio, which would have made this PERFECTION!
...then there is the standard 1080p 2D Blu-ray, which, if you have read my quick review of the 3D media, is just like it, ...only boring and flat, making me feel sorry for those who do not appreciate quality 3D presentations or those who missed out on the opportunity to land a television which supports both UHD as well as 3D formats.
4K/UHD, 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and a UHD Digital Copy all for just under $30?
What are you waiting for!? BUY THIS TITLE!

Our favorite characters return in more of the same with an expanded universe! ...literally, they go out into space this time!
Image clarity is very good with bright colors and excellent detail in dark shadowed areas. 3D imagery provides added depth with a few notable pop-outs! Audio is active in all channels, most noticeable in the action scenes.

Entertaining, if you can unplug your brain
on May 3, 2019
Posted by: SpenceJT
from Madison WI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am not saying that Upgrade is a horrible movie, so much as it just isn't all that great. It could have been far better had it been a bit more like "LockOut" and not taken itself too seriously, but instead it tried to play itself up as a serious sci-fi action flick, on a shoestring budget.
Audio and video are both 'serviceable', but the acting, and the story fails to raise above that of the average SyFy made for television movie ...but without the tongue-in-cheek 'fun factor' that one would see in the likes of Sharknado.
If you can overlook the many flaws, buy this movie, but shop around so you do not pay full price.

A nice documentary suitable for every family!

This is where 4K/UHD images of nature can really shine! Definition is clear and sharp with excellent black levels providing ample texture and detail.
The Dolby Atmos audio mix is active across all channels, providing a realistic depiction of the sounds one would hear in nature, while narration is anchored solidly to the front, center channel.
This is an excellent way to help educate children and raise ecological awareness.

Med student Lucas (Jonah Hauer-King) rescues young pit bull mix Bella (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard) from a construction site in Denver, Colorado. But Denver's laws against pit bull ownership, and a Inchno dogsInch clause in the lease where he and his mom (Ashley Judd) live, force Lucas to send Bella to his friends in New Mexico until he can get a new place. Unable to stand the separation, Bella embarks on a perilous two-year, 400-mile trek to get back to Lucas. Alexandra Shipp co-stars in this family adventure, based on the book by W. Bruce Cameron. 96 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Woof! A heartfelt family film that is not a 'dog'
on May 3, 2019
Posted by: SpenceJT
from Madison WI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Loved the heart of this story, and the fact that it was something that the entire family can enjoy.
It isn't exactly an action film, so don't expect dynamic audio or majorly engaged audio channels. What it does have is a good deal of audio 'realism', which encompasses the viewer with sounds of the environment, which helps to draw the viewer into the movie.
Story wise, I have seen it before in the 70/80s with various Disney and made-for-television movies. It has been done before, but never this well, and the time for such a movie is long overdue.

This Glass is only 'fairly' transparent
on May 3, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is not to say that it is not a 'good' movie, only that it probably could have been even better.
MNS does a nice job integrating material from he previous installments (Unbreakable, Split), bringing the characters together nicely into a serviceable final chapter in his trilogy.
Technically speaking images are clear, with slight film grain notable providing the images in this film, bringing the image quality into line with that of the previous installments.
Audio is mixed and dialog from the front center channel being clear and well positioned. I would have liked a bit more from the remaining channels to provide added effects to further draw the viewer into the film, but what usage of the channels was reasonably active and well placed.
I would not recommend this movie for technical, so much as I recommend purchasing it as a very nice resolution to a trilogy.

Functional, but limited memory
on April 27, 2019
Posted by: SpenceJT
from Madison WI
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Good
Size
Battery life
The Bad
Memory is limited to 16gb and the device has no slot for microSD memory expansion. I suspect this limitation due to its water resistance rating.
This is disappointing because I had hoped to be able to load it with my 16 year old daughter's entire library of music without needing to reduce to a low bitrate to make everything for.
In hind sight I should have purchased the less expensive model, which has less battery life, but offers the microSD card slot for expanded storage.

I picked up the Asus AX11000 to replace my old Asus ACRT87U, which has an old RT68 set up as an extender.
Now with Asus and their AIMesh, I have my RT68 connected as a true 'mesh' extension. No more dripping of signal on my home when traversing between Wi-Fi nodes.
I can now maintain my Wi-Fi signal from nearly anywhere on my block!

Take the excitement of surround lighting to the next level with the Philips Hue Play gradient lightstrip. This LED strip flawlessly blends multiple colors of light at the same time, mimicking the content on the entire screen for an immersive, full-room entertainment experience unlike any other. Hue Bridge and Hue Play HDMI Sync Box required, not included.
 

Planning to upgrade a 75 inch TV to either a 90 or 100 inch projection screen. Leaning toward the 90 inches as I know that the 75 inch lightstrip is rated to be used on 85 inch displays. Any success with photos?

Can you upload 2d and 3d videos from your computer onto the quest in a folder? Can you change viewing options and angles for playback?

Yes you can load videos for playback in virtual theaters. I am unsure about changing angles. I doubt it.

Hey I’m looking at buying a quest but is it worth getting 128 or 64. I’m looking to buy to play with my friend in Texas. So is it possible to play with someone across the country. Thanks for answering.

Memory is not expandable. That said, the apps are not huge, but if you intend to download movies, or (like me) horde a large library of installed apps, it would be advised to spring an extra $100 for double the storage.

Doubling the storage will also give a higher resale value, should a time come in the future where you would consider selling it and upgrading.

When your in a game, do one of the controllers move off into the distance by itself?

No. If you are experiencing this, your headset is losing tracking of your touch controller.

This can be due to ambient lighting overpowering the sensors of the head unit making it difficult for it to see and track the IR emitters from the controllers.

It could also be batteries in the controllers getting weak.

CAN A 6 YEAR OLD FIT IN THE HEAD GEAR ??

This depends on the size of your six year old.

The Oculus Quest is not recommended for children under the age of 13. Add to this, that most six year olds do not understand the concept of value, so any use should be closely supervised so as not to damage a $400+ device.

...also something to be considered is the developing mind of a child, and if it should be exposed to virtual reality experiences at such a young age.

Not judging. Just pointing out things to consider. The decision is yours.

I want to use Quest for my VR Fine Art Painting project. Do I need any additional hardware or software to paint, export and import my projects? Can I use Google Tilt Brush app in 64 GB Quest device? Can I directly upload my artwork to Google Drive/FB.com?

Check out Tilt Brush. It includes a variety of brushes, textures, and allows you to work in a 3 dimensional space, resizing, and moving the art around, zooming in to add detail, rotating it to add color and texture. It is very cool, and there are many videos on YouTube.
