Got it for the 1 gig Ethernet connection and it has not disappointed. I no longer wonder if it is my internet provider, wifi connection or the app if I get buffering. It’s the app. Which rarely happens. Clean picture and settings that help you maximize it to your liking. Functionality on some apps struggle i.e. rewinding. But overall very happy with speed of GUI.
Two negatives. The first is you can not turn off the “On” light. Very distracting when watching in a dark room and should be an option on a device at this price level. The second is that you do not have the ability to power on/off your receiver with the power button. This is considered a high end device and should be able to perform this function as well. There is a work around for this using the mute button, but really shouldn’t have to reassign buttons for this option.

The Dark Knight gets a fresh reboot and a great disc. This is a dark movie, meaning it takes place under very little light. The 4K holds up strong and everything has good detail and no artifacts. If your tv does not hold up well in dark movies, it will get slaughtered by this. Trying to watch this in the middle of a bright sunny day with no light control in your room is not recommended. Sound is great too, puts you into every scene. Steelbook is nice, nothing to right home about.

Perfect 4K transfer. One of my favorite movies presented better than I have ever seen it. Great detail and depth. Hit the Steelbook lottery and got a pristine case with no damage or blemishes.

Lawrence of Arabia is my favorite film of all time. An epic masterpiece. My rating has nothing to do with the film or the disc quality. The 4K presentation is 5 stars and what I appreciate about 4K, taking my favorite movies from yesteryear and making them look new. Better than new. This rating is all about how poorly the quality control and Best Buy’s shipping of Steelbooks is. I went through 4 Steelbooks and all had damage, either from shipping or poor quality control from factory. Dents, scratches, chips, you name it, these Steelbooks had it.

Glad Snyder got a chance to complete this properly. Shows what greed and ineptitude at the highest levels can do to an artist. The IMAX side bars take a bit to get used to but once you are past that, you can appreciate the great detail in the picture. Long run time didn’t bother me, you can create your own intermission once the backstories on the characters end and we get into the second half of the film. Sound is fantastic as well.
Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family (Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path in this terrifyingly suspenseful thriller written and directed by John Krasinski.

Excellent follow up to the original. Hard to make sequels, but AQPII does it very well. The story continues right where we left off in Part 1. Video is crisp and clean, but the sound, like the first will blow you away.

For those that like crispy 4K with no grain, Elysium is for you! Super clean, crisp. Special effects blend extremely well. Underrated sci-fi film. Will not be let down.

Steelbook arrived in great condition. They all should come with a protective sleeve. Great detail in the 4K disc. The sand, the sweat the grime all present. Worthy upgrade for a great movie. Great sound as well. Each gun has a unique sound. Love what they did with the design of the Steelbook and even the discs have a nice touch you’ll notice from the movie. Perfect.

First getting a Steelbook in pristine condition is like winning the lottery, so that’s why this gets 5 stars. Great sci-fi film and great transfer! Beach scenes are spectacular. Night and dark scenes hold up well with no artifacts. Sound is also a winner. Dynamic, punchy bass.
