Google Home Hub how do I love thee

Let me count the ways
Five of five stars!
All of the smarts of the Google Assistant integrated with an amazingly clear display. Seriously, the display is so clear, and the dynamic lighting of said display is so amazing so as to make it look as though it is a fake display not lit from within ...except it 'is' lit from within!
The whole family is living the running slideshow, which brings back fond memories of past events, while my wife can call up a recipe, I can visually see my commute, and what music my daughter is listening to ...so I'm not the uncool parent constantly asking "who are you listening to?"

Based upon a real life story about lifelong friends and the longest, most involved game of tag in the history of tag.
The movie is fun, the color clarity and black level are 7 of 10. Audio is a 6.5 of 10, with active channels mostly across the front soundstage.

Great that someone chose to continue the stories of John Constantine as I was only just starting to enjoy the live action series when it was sumarilly canceled.
This picks up characters where the series left off, and brings it into the realm of an R rated animated feature for release for the home video market.
Colors are solid, and vibrant, and HDR brings out good detail in the ever present shadows. - 7 of 10, because it cannot really be compared to any 4K live action version.
Audio is active in all channels - a solid 7.5 of 10

This set contains all three films from the Wachowski Siblings' The Matrix franchise. In The Matrix, a computer programmer discovers he is the only one able to save mankind from the machines; in The Matrix Reloaded, Neo must protect the Resistance from a rapidly approaching fate; in The Matrix Revolutions, Neo fights to end the war once and for all as the Machines locate the human city of Zion.

I now see the reality that surrounds us, and it looks amazing! Color saturation and HDR black level are at near reference level. I would state 8 of 10.
Audio get's an 8.5 of 10 with the addition of the high definition audio track and the inclusion of Dolby Atmos
This is a worthy upgrade over and above that of my Ultimate Matrix Blu-ray Collection

Antman and the Wasp? A buzz-worthy sequel!

Well choreographed action, combined with endearing/compelling characters, added to the outstanding production value make for one heck of a fun superhero flick suitable for the whole family!
This film's only weakness is the casting of the villian, who was also the weak spot in the recent Tomb Raider reboot. I just don't find him very menacing.

Fun movie - so long as you don't take it seriously

Verified Purchase:Yes
The effects, sound, and picture quality on this are all spot-on, and when viewed on my 75" 4K display, the upconverted images look clear colorful, and well-detailed.
The 3D in this movie is solid, and provides an ample sense of depth.
The audio utilizes all channels in heavy action scenes, encompassing the viewer within the action on-screen! LFE gets a nice workout with explosions.

Better than anticipated

Don't believe the naysayers. This movie is a worthy installment into the Star Wars universe. Alden E as Solo grew on me. You can actually see a bit of the essence of the Han Solo that we know and love peaking through, and the story gives ample surrounding characters from which you can see the familiar character evolving and adapting from.
I wish that this had done better in the box office, as I would love to see how the character develops and grows.
Technically the presentation is dark at times, so you will want to have the lights down low, or better yet, turned off. The sound is active across all channels, however the Dolby Atmos is not utilized to the extent that I would like. HDR is present, but nowhere near reference level, leaving those with HDR capable displays with HDR-esque images which border upon that of being slightly muddled and grey.
Over all, this is a worthy title to add to any collection. Not reference quality, but a fun ride!

Jurassic Meh

My opinion is that this franchise, much like that of the Transformers films, has run it's course.
We are now at a point where the film makers are simply taking previously seen situations, characters, and action sequences, and rearranged to create 'slightly different' situations, characters, and action sequences.
I skipped this one at the theaters after having seen the previous installment, and only decided to purchase this release to appease my daughter, and help support 3D Blu-ray sales.
Technically, the movie looks and sounds great. The 3D provides additional depth and the multi-channel sound is active and encompassing, but with all that said ...we have all been here, and have heard and seen this all before.

as traumatic to watch in my home, as it was in the theater!
This 4K presentation brings with it clear and colorful images, as one would expect with HDR, however it isn't what I would refer to as "reference quality".
Audio is immersive in the major action scenes (there are many), and the LFE channel gets a 'fine' workout!

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
