Why would you finally have a film that is supposed to focus on dinos living with us and then make it about giant bugs? Why?

It's a comedic carol of calamities as only the Griswold family can deliver as Clark (Chevy Chase) has his heart set on hosting an old-fashioned family Christmas. But he may change his mind when faced with a house full of bickering relatives, malfunctioning decorations, and uncertainty over his Christmas bonus. And what holiday celebration would be complete without the boorish Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid)? Beverly D'Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, Julia Louis-Dreyfus also star. 97 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

It's not a lot of fun when you have to spend Christmas Eve stuck in your sorority house. It's even worse when a bloodthirsty psycho slides down your chimney, hides in the attic, and begins to make anonymous threatening phone calls. It's Ho, Ho, Horror with Margot Kidder, Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, John Saxon, and Andrea Martin in this Canadian cult favorite from Bob Clark (InchA Christmas StoryInch). 98 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English. Three-disc set.

An impressive budget 4k smart TV
By GoBucks
I've been impressed with this TV so far. For the price, it far exceeded my expectations.
Pros:
- Excellent picture quality with a very bright panel. 4K HDR content looks great.
- Pretty good sound quality for this price point. The sound holds its own against the other 55" 4k smart TV (Vizio) i own that i use a sound bar with. Great highs and mids, but suffers a little with bass levels. Not bad though for a TV without a sound bar.
- Roku OS is fantastic. Adding apps to the home screen is very easy, and i was able to find almost every app i could think of that i normally use to stream TV shows, movies, and sporting events.
Cons:
- If you're looking hard enough, you can notice the panel is brighter around the bezels. Taking the screen off its default 'Bright" setting helps, but you can still tell a lot of the light is coming in from around the edges of the screen.
- There's no way to display the resolution while playing a TV show or movie. Its nice to be able to check whether you're watching in 1080p or 4k.
- The remote is very small with very few buttons, one of them being VUDU. It would've been nice to have a remote that offers more customization as to what app you'd like to go into, but the home, back, and volume buttons are easy to find.
I haven't tried gaming with this TV yet, so am curious how the 60Hz refresh rate holds up. I think we are getting to the point most displays have higher refresh rates, but since this is in the budget category, i wasn't expecting much else.

You should be able to tell the difference between 1080 and 4K. Its a pretty big difference.

My remote won’t turn on TV

Point it to the left of the tv. The sensor is really small and pointing the remote directly at the tv won't hit the sensor. I thought that my tv was broken but then I figured out where the sensor is.

Is this just a blu ray or is it a steelbook?

It's a blu-ray inslde of a SteelBook. If you want just the blu-ray, you can buy the older blu-ray that doesn't have the new 4K scan.
