STEELBOOK ARRIVED MINT! MOVIE IS GREAT!
on July 31, 2023
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a fan of movies like JOHN WICK and NOBODY then this is a must own. Very popular Finland movie was given an English soundtrack and released on 4K in the United States. The 4K picture and sound are reference quality. SISU is action packed and well paced but may be too graphic for some. SteelBook was just $1 more on preorder so I went that route. To my surprise unlike some other reviews my SteelBook and sleeve arrived in mint condition.

BEST WASHER INSTALL EVER!
on June 30, 2023
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay, we are installing a new LG front loading washer to a pedestal. You have to first haul away the old one then bring in the new one. Attach it to the hot and cold water lines and we are done. This is not brain surgery or rocket science. So why all the hoopla? These guys were terrific. They were extremely pleasant, courteous and professional. My old Samsung washer was installed 7 years apparently with the water lines reversed! This was corrected. The leaks at the faucet were repaired. Now my new washer is correctly installed. If you get your washer from the Reynoldsburg Ohio Best Buy you are lucky. I cannot vouch for any other Best Buy installers.

LG's mega capacity washer saves you time and energy while not compromising on cleaning performance. Our 6motion technology uses up to 6 different wash motions to provide a smart cleaning experience that is gentle on clothes and maximizes washing performance. The 5.0 cu. ft. capacity on washer means you have even more room to do laundry in fewer loads. And ColdWash technology uses cold water and enhanced washing motions to penetrate deep into fabrics, giving you cold water savings with warm water performance.

TOP WASHER, SALE AND INSTALLATION
on June 9, 2023
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
When our nearly 7 year old Samsung Front Load Washer needed almost $400 in repairs we decided to apply that amount towards this LG 5.0 Cu. Ft. Front Load Washer. LG's newest model with latest 6 motion technology. As seniors we don't need steam to wash our clothes and we certainly won't use WIFI, so this model was perfect. The 5.0 Cu Ft. LG is slightly smaller (about an inch in depth) than our 4.5 Cu Ft. Samsung. Best Buy sales staff was extremely helpful. As a Geek Squad Total member I was entitled to free delivery, haul away and installation. The team they sent was probably the best appliance installation crew I ever had. I highly recommend this washer if you just want a basic machine. If you must have steam and WIFI choose another model.

Excellent 4K but DIGITAL CODE WAS REMOVED!
on January 19, 2023
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent 4K of one of the best heist movies ever made. Sadly the factory shrink wrap was partially opened to remove the digital copy before shipping. It was carefully repacked so that the slip cover would hide the theft. This rating is not for the movie but the negligently way Best Buy ships their movies. Purchased on sale but out of stock so it currently cannot be replaced. Please like or comment to this review if this has also happened to you. A must have 4K Ultra Hd Blu-ray for fans, however purchase on-line through Best Buy at your own risk!

Throw out your old DVDs and Blu-rays!
on December 2, 2022
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have never seen TOP GUN the 4K version is the route to go. If you have seen TOP GUN you have never REALLY seen or heard TOP GUN, The 4K restoration is demonstration worthy. Throw out those old DVDs and Blu-rays and make room for this version in your collection. Hopefully you took advantage of Best Buy's Black Friday Day Sale.

Those who thought they knew slacking San Francisco car valet InchShaun XuInch (Simu Liu) best didn't know him at all. In actuality, he was the son of Asia's most dreaded crime lord-the centuries-lived Wenwu (Tony Leung)-who'd had him trained from the cradle to be the greatest martial artist alive... and whose patience with him to come home and claim his infamous birthright has just run out. Action- and fantasy-packed screen bow for Marvel Comics' Master of Kung Fu co-stars Awkwafina, Michelle Yeoh. 132 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

One of the best MARVEL movies comes to 4K!

Cashiered with an honorable discharge and little else, ex-Special Forces James Harper (Chris Pine) was out of options when old comrade Mike (Ben Foster) got him an in with a black ops professional (Kiefer Sutherland) claiming highest clearance. A dicey first mission, however, makes him question who his new boss is actually working for-and facing a deadly gauntlet to get out alive. Taut thriller co-stars Gillian Jacobs, Eddie Marsan, JD Pardo, Florian Munteanu. 103 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

4K and Black Friday Price only positives here!
on December 2, 2022
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent 4K presentation of a fair to average movie. I would have expected more from Chris Pine. Pacing is slow for today's action movies. Your money would be better spent on NOBODY or the JOHN WICK movies. In fact, there's nothing in this movie that hasn't been done before and much better. Only positive was Best Buy's Black Friday price which made it cheaper than viewing it streamed or at the theater.

In late-14th-century France, Norman knight Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) was stunned when his wife Marguerite (Jodie Comer) leveled an accusation of rape against his squire and best friend Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver). The events as recounted through the eyes of all three-through their culmination in the nation's last recognized trial by combat-drive Ridley Scott's historical opus. Co-stars Ben Affleck; Damon, Affleck, and Nicole Holofcener co-adapted the Eric Jager novel for the screen. 152 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

MOVIE FALLS SHORT BUT 4K DOES NOT DISAPPOINT
on June 12, 2022
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ridley Scott actioner with some flaws. Scenes are very dark so 4K would be a must to see the details. Pacing goes from one extreme to the other, making the movie feel that it is a little longer than it probably is (even though it is 153 minutes). On the plus side probably one of the best designed films depicting the time period. Jousting events and battle scenes extremely realistic. Scott shows the viewer the reason for the duel in the eyes of the 3 affected characters, which only adds to the length and pacing problems in my opinion. The 4K experience will not disappoint.

Brews like new but descaling is time consuming
on December 25, 2021
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Satisfied with the results, but here's what you have to do. First, the amount of solution needed is based on your model. I needed the whole bottle. Second, you empty the descaling solution into your brewer's reservoir. Next you fill the entire bottle with water and empty that in your brewer. Then you let that sit for 30 minutes. Afterwards you completely fill the reservoir and brew at least 12 of your largest cup choices of fresh water, refilling the reservoir as needed. You can stop this process when the debris and sediment are no longer dislodged during the brewing process. I think it took 15-16 brews in my experience. Upon completion, you will notice an improvement in the brewing process. I also replaced the filter.

Great color but controller needs getting use to
on July 23, 2021
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Finally found a XBOX Series X at $499. Wanted a back up controller and like so many others opted for this new red one. It took awhile for me to get use to the new center button layout. I found that the lower center button will take a screen shot by just barely touching it (even if by accident during game play). But, the large center X Box button seems to require more pressure than my older Xbox controllers to direct you to the "turn off console, turn off controller or restart console" screen. I found this true for the black controller which came with my new system, so it apparently is not unique to the Pulse Red controller.

whats the difference between this and the older version?? i have the older version on 82inch q90 from cable box and ps5. would this give me any improvement??

The speed of the older version is only 16Gbps and will not handle the full potential of the new HDMI 2.1 recommended speed of 48Gbps.

OLED at the top of its game. From the big game to being in the game, no detail goes unseen. With advanced gaming technology like NVIDIA G-SYNC, you'll crush the competition. Self-lit pixels emit their own light for perfect black, intense color and stunning picture~paired with our best processor for even better picture quality. Only on OLED.
 

Does C1 support 5.1 surround sound pass-through?

Yes, so long as it has 4K HDMI eARC technology. I am using a DENON AVR-S750H receiver (2019 model). My old receiver did not have HDMI eARC capability so I had to buy a new receiver for the pass-through to work. Without the new receiver I could only get sound through my TV's speakers.
