Good action but not quite La Femme Nikita
on December 6, 2019
Posted by: SpenceJT
Verified Purchase:Yes
This comes off as yet another Luc Besson action movie - insert protagonist - cut & paste action choreography.
This doesn't mean that it isn't fun, its just that it has become Luc Besson's 'go-to' and it is getting somewhat stale.
Details are crisp and clear with good black levels and vibrant color. Audio is active in all channels, but could be a bit more encompasing.

X-MEN DARK PHOENIX - Blu-ray - After returning from outer space, Jean Grey finds herself at odds with fellow members of the X-Men. The rift occurs because a cosmic blast turns Jean into a godlike being, and her newfound powers are the complete opposite of benign. The diabolical force inside her gradually corrupts her kind soul and understanding. With Jean targeting the friendly mutants she loves most, the X-Men must take a stand. They have to stop Jean from causing further destruction, or Jean will be used by otherworldly entities. These aliens are adamant about gaining control over the entire world. 20th CENTURY FOX Run Time 115 minutes

The images are fine, the effects are fine, but sadly this story has already been told, and it was told better in X-Men United, which was a better movie than this, and still a low point in the original trilogy.

TOTALLY UNTETHERED IS HERE and it is...

ZING!
I am a tech enthusiast, who has owned and played with the Samsung Galaxy phone based Gear VR since its launch a few years ago.
It was "okay", but limited in quality and performance. Earlier phones would often get overheated, with the audio and video cutting out of stuttering. Playing within VR on a phone was occasionally interrupted by email notifications and calls, it only supported a single controller, and the battery would run down quickly. It tied up my phone when others wanted to play ...it just wasn't an optimal experience.
I considered upgrading to a standalone Oculus Go, but it still only supported a single controller, which really limited game options such as Beat Saber, etc.
Then came Oculus Quest, I bought one for the family, and ...WOW!
I can barely contain my enthusiasm!
First, let's address the elephant in the room. It's not cheap. Cheap will get you a cardboard box, or the slightly better plastic phone-based VR headset (the best of these is Gear VR).
This is immersive with six degrees of motion. The included (dual) touch controllers provide ample options to navigate the virtual environments and manipulate objects.
The sound is projected near your ears, and sounds will move as you move, providing the user turn an ever more increased encompassing experience. ...there are standard 3.5mm headphone jacks on either side of the HMD for those who seek auditory privacy over realism.
I like that you can set up a virtual boundary in your VR space, so as to not damage your surroundings or injury yourself. You set up a perimeter, and it warns you with a virtual wall/grid when you touch upon the limit of your safe area.
I was originally considering the purchase of a floor-standing heavy-bag, to workout and fight off anxiety, but the up buying the 128GB Oculus Quest in the hope that it would serve as a tool, to help envelope and engage the senses of family members suffering from high bouts of anxiety, as well as seasonal depression. I am pleased to state that once the Oculus Quest is donned, and the virtual world is entered, runaway thoughts from the outside are pushed away for awhile. Games which engage, sight, sound and moment help to redirect anxious thoughts, forcing them to focus on the experience.
Yes it is expensive, but it is SO worth it. It is far more versatile than a simple floor-standing heavy-bag (yes there are boxing games, and so much more), it also takes up far less space and is far more portable than a heavy bag. ;-)
I highly recommend that those interested, seek out a location with a demo unit and experience it for yourself.

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
