"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!

Verified Purchase:Yes
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
Posted by: SpenceJT

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?

Would this be useful for someone with ATT fiber service? I want to improve ping and have less latency/delay on Fortnite, also open my NAT type. Is there any tutorials on how to make this function properly with ATTs modem/router combo?

Needing to mount this to the ceiling but needing to know if it is mountable and if it comes with a mount?

It contains no mounting hardware, but a creative/resourceful person could invert it and rig a way to hang it up from a ceiling. Keep in mind it's also got eight antennas coming out from it, so it's not exactly designed for ceiling mounted esthetics.

Will this router completely cover a 4000 square feet home without dead zones?

It could, however there are variables to consider such as the location where it will be connected.

4K is a sizable home, with many walls, and presumably floors for signals to go through.

Something to also keep in mind is that higher/faster frequencies do not travel as far as lower, slower frequencies so while it may cover that volume of space, it will likely not do it with consistent speeds.

I have a 3,800 sq ft home with the primary Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro located in the basement mechanical room where cable distribution is located.

It reaches to the upper floor of our home, however the signal is weak with two floors between.

It was for this reason that I purchased a secondary Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro, which is connected as an AI mesh node, to provide a solid signal to every corner of my home, on every level.

This router may not be the best for you. You may wish to look at Wi-Fi 7 capable mesh Wi-Fi which will certainly cover your space more efficiently.

Meta Quest Pro is a virtual reality system that unlocks new perspectives into how we work, create, and collaborate, so you can go beyond what was previously possible. A completely reimagined headset is slimmer and more well-balanced for long-lasting comfort. Breakthrough high resolution mixed reality passthrough uses full-color sensors to let you see and engage with the physical world around you~even as you connect, work and play in virtual spaces. Multiple room-sized displays let you skip between tasks to get more done, more easily. Connect better with friends or collaborate with peers like never before with real-time avatar expressions that mirror your authentic facial reactions. Intuitive, redesigned controllers dispense with tracking rings, using self-tracking cameras to capture a greater range of motion and fine motor controls to translate detailed finger operations like writing and drawing into VR. Advanced multi-point haptic feedback makes virtual interactions feel more real. Meta Quest is for ages 13+. Certain apps, games, and experiences may be higher.
 

Let's say I have money to burn, can this be used for individual VR gaming even though it's intended for business? Like, will it do all the same things that the Quest 2 does but more?

Absolutely it can, and exactly what I'm using mine for.

I'm playing all of my previous Quest games, and am working to set up my virtual office so I can look at future career possibilities
