Verified Purchase:Yes
Avengers Endgame has an incredible UHD transfer. Light grain is noticable. All channels encompass the viewer in a cocoon of immersive sound, most notable during the battle at the rubble of the SHIELD HQ
Colors are vibrant, but the majority of the movie takes place in the dark. Details are there with incredible use of the High Dynamic Range.

Sad that this was not included and is so expensive

I recently upgraded the entire family to be Samsung Galaxy Note 10s, and while the phones are a nice improvement in technology Samsung opted to remove the conventional headphone jacks from the new models.
We found this not to be a show stopper (I myself am a wireless earbud guy, but my wife and kid are not), but are extremely disappointed that Samsung did not include at least one USB C to headphone adaptor with each of their $1K phones.
It is inconsiderate that customers are forced to obtain an accessory to use their state of the art phone with the many pairs of headphones existing in their home, and insulting that Samsung embeds proprietary circuitry so that a customer cannot buy a simple, cheap adaptor (received a notification that a cheaper $5 product was incompatible ...it is a simple CORD!).
This loyal Samsung costumer, having spent nearly $3K on new cell phones had to Samsung brand purchase adaptors for his family to the tune of an extra $45!
Shame on you for becoming Apple Samsung!

All the action. All the sound. ...none of the lip-

Verified Purchase:Yes
Fun & loud, nothing beats the classic giant monster movie. ...except for perhaps American produced remakes.
Film grain is light, audio is immersive and active in all channels.
Black levels and details are what you would expect.
It's just not as fun as the true originals.

Dolby Atmos audio places the viewer in the middle of the action. Blacks are solid and inky, resolution exhibits light film grain but excellent resolution. HDR allows for great clarity, and amazing shadow detail. Colors are somewhat muted, but I suspect by director's choice.

I DO NOT STAND BY IN THE FACE OF ...AWESOME 3D!
on August 2, 2019
Posted by: SpenceJT
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this movie, and the look and quality of this movie so much I went back and purchased the steelbook release, and gifted the standard 3D/4K release to a co-worker.
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!

The HELLBOY you say!?

Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie, while I still prefer the original Ron Perlman in the part, was nowhere near as bad at what critics would have you believe.
I would hazard a guess, and state that the fans of Perlman, effectively torpedoed this attempt, which is too bad, because David Harbour's take on the character was spot on.
Color are vibrant but slightly muted, which fits with the overall tone of the film. Grain is present but not at all distracting.
This is a fine re-boot.

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?

It is safe to assume that it works well with AT-T fiber

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
