Works great, but ROUND cooking chamber a big NO!

This review is in no way related to the esthetics, feature set, or performance of this particular air frying device. I love Bella Pro - the brand's appliances pretty much monopolize all the counter space in my small kitchen! The problem with this air fryer is the SHAPE! I own 3 air fryers - a basket model, a combo air fryer/grill, and an air fryer oven. Other than the air frying ability, the thing they all have in common is a RECTANGULAR cooking chamber! There's no practical way to take advantage of the ENTIRE cooking surface in a ROUND air frying device - unless you're reheating a personal-size PIZZA, or an OMELETE, or PANCAKES. But, the bulk of the foods actually COOKED in this ROUND air fryer will not be able to maximize the full 8 QUARTS of this oven!

Enjoy brilliant color and sound with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The chroma processing technology maximizes the color of 4K/HDR content, and the 7.1-channel audio output produces lifelike surround sound when connected to a home audio system. The color signals received by this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player are upgraded to produce natural textures and depth.

Great for NATIVE 4K TVs, but not Faux-K Projectors

This highly-reviewed, 4K UHD Blu-ray player provides the kind of extensive luminance and chrominance settings usually reserved for high-end plasma, LED and OLED television sets. One unique feature during initial setup is a setting that analyzes the connected display to determine resolution and HDR capabilities. It assessed my Epson Home Cinema 5040UB 4Ke projector as a FHD device with a maximum resolution of 1080p. Because of that determination, the HDR settings on the UB820 maxed out at Rec. 709, which only provides 8 bit color. After hours of research online and experimentation with the unit itself, I was unable to achieve Rec. 2020, which provides 10 to 12 bit color. It wasn't a problem with my native 4K HDR flat screen, but as most $1000 -$2500 4K projectors are actually 1080p FHD devices that are "4K Enhanced" (aka "Faux-K"), utilizing pixel-shift technology to fabricate 3840p resolution, it may explain why the Panasonic UB820 detected my projector as 1080p FHD, not 3840p. Otherwise, the UB820 is a fantastic machine, despite the high price point.

![Star Trek - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/97c4e73a-b4cf-4e9b-9564-081504a90eb8.jpg)
The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.

Fun characters, fair story, weak 4K/HDR treatment!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this movie based on recommendations that it was reference quality material. I loved the reboot on HD Blu-ray (have watched over 10 times!), and had great expectations that the 4K/HDR treatment would be a marvel in clarity, contrast and color intensity, but was sorely disappointed. It was hailed by an online 4K movie showcase list as a spectacle for the eyes, but compared to such exemplar 4K releases as "War for the Planet of the Apes", "Hacksaw Ridge" and "The Revenant" (which are mind-blowing extravaganzas in sight and sound), this Ultra HD entry was not on par. The scenes that popped were far and few between and not worth the investment from a video resolution perspective.

This Logitech Harmony 915-000194 smart control lets you use your compatible Apple~ iPhone~, iPod~ touch or iPad~ or Android device to control up to 8 components for simple, multifunction use.
is the phone necessary with this remote
No, a phone is not necessary with this remote. After setting up the Logitech Harmony software on my laptop I found the mobile version of the app settings limited compared to the more comprehensive options of the desktop/Windows version. I NEVER use my phone to modify changes, electing instead to use a laptop. When I'm not using voice commands (via Alexa or Google) to control my A/V system I use the universal remote or a tablet. I'm still tweaking my Hub unit, so I haven't yet mastered the full functionality of the remote. I've encountered discrete control limitations that were not an issue with my 10-device, X10 universal remote. Hopefully, that is just part of the learning curve and not an actual inability.
