Verified Purchase:Yes
First, add the writer of JOHN WICK. Second, add the knowledge that Bob Odenkirk spent 2 years training to be able to do his own fight scenes Third, add Christopher Lloyd (little humor) and RZA (knowledge of martial arts). Fourth, add a musical score that scans decades including "Straiten and Fly Right." Fifth, add 4K, HDR and DOLBY ATMOS. Mix this all together and what do you get. Hopefully you adding NOBODY to your action film collection as soon as possible.

AudioQuest Cinnamon 48 8K-10K 48Gbps HDMI cable combines superior materials and thoughtful design to create a deeply immersive entertainment experience. Featuring solid 1.25% Silver conductors that have been direction-controlled for the most efficient dissipation of high-frequency noise, AudioQuest Cinnamon 48 is meticulously designed for enhanced sound quality and outstanding overall performance. Of course, all AudioQuest 48Gbps HDMI cables can transfer up to professional 10K Ultra HD video, support Dynamic HDR, and have the conductors and bandwidth required for eARC~s enhanced sonic capabilities. Taking performance even further, in AudioQuest HDMI cables, the ARC-channel conductor pair is internally controlled for direction, running in the opposite direction from the four pairs that carry information to the TV, to ensure superior audio performance.

For those who can see the difference
on June 19, 2021
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
There's no doubt that AudioQuest cables are excellent. There's only one decision you need to make is just how much you want to spend for an HDMI cable. I use the Cinnamon cable for connection to 4K devices and Forest Cables for connection to non 4K devices such as 1080 Cable Boxes. However, if you cannot tell the difference save your money and select another brand. One caveat, AudioQuest cables seldom go on sale so if you see one greatly reduced it's probably because it is the older 4K version and not the new 4K-8K-10K 48Gbps. 16Gbps may be fast enough for 3D and HDMI 2.0 but not fast enough for the new 4K HDMI 2.1

Dollar for dollar best 4K player
on June 18, 2021
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sure there are many 4K players that cost more, but in my opinion the SONY is the best bang for your buck. Separate HDMI outputs so the video can be directly inputted in to your monitor (TV and projector) and the audio can go into your sound system. Increase the bang as Best Buy regularly puts this player on sale. I currently own the older USP-X800 and 2 of the newer USP-X800M2.

Contemporary looking 7 outlet surge protector
on June 12, 2021
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Surge protector is perfect for your television and all your accessories so long as it's 7 or less. Contemporary and narrow so your television stand can be placed close to the wall. Does it actually protect? Only time will tell.

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.

Aesthetically the best OLED TV
on June 11, 2021
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Most experts agree that the OLED's probably offer the best television picture. The blacks are the blackest and the colors are the truest. There's various opinions as to which brand has the blackest, the brightest or the most life like picture. Experts even have a variety of opinions as to which brand is preferred by the gaming community. However, I fall into a different category. I like my television not only to perform but to look aesthetically pleasing while viewing. I don't like cheap looking legs on each end. I don't like a small base on a large screen set, They just doesn't seem sturdy to me. My choice was the LG 77" Class C1 Series OLED and I don't regret it. The stand runs about 3/4 the length of the set and weighs over 20 pounds (58.9 without and 79.1 with). If you plan to mount your set this review will be irrelevant to your decision making. If you want a sound bar this may not be the set for you. However, if you are using a 4K receiver and want one of the best OLEDs in the market today, just give this beauty a look. You will be glad you did.

Top quality Mini Smart Oven
on May 21, 2021
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a Mini Smart Oven and does probably what every other one will do. However, in my opinion the Breville is the best mini oven in the market today. This is my second one. I have literally worn out my first one over the many years of usage. They have made a couple of design changes. For instance, there's now a "Hot Surfaces Do Not Touch" label under the handle. It is sturdy and has a modern clean design. No need to shop this around, the minimum price is fixed. You can use your Best Buy rewards certificates but not any other Best Buy offer or discount.

High quality cable but not as pictured!
on April 19, 2021
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased from Best Buy AudioQuest Cinnamon 48Gbps HDMI cables when I bought my new 4K TV, receiver and blu-ray player. My cable box was frequently dropping the signal so I replaced my old HDMI cable with the AudioQuest Forest 48Gbps. The picture on the box and on Best Buy's site shows the cable to have green stripes and appears to be braided. However when my cable arrived it was black and not braided. I contacted AudioQuest and spoke to a person from their tech support. According to him, no AudioQuest cable below Cinnamon quality has ever been braided. Furthermore the photo on the box is generated for advertising and is NOT a picture of the product. He assured me that my cable was an authentic AudioQuest HDMI cable. And Best Buy was the first authorized dealer to sell the new 48Gbps cables. I am giving this cable 4 stars because in this particular instance it had little or no affect in my cable box's performance.

When he was a teen-and the planet was being ravaged by an apocalyptic event that caused animals to mutate into giant creatures-orphaned Joel (Dylan O'Brien) promised his girlfriend Aimee (Jessica Henwick) that he'd find her again some day. Tipped to her cross-country whereabouts seven years later, he leaves his survivors' colony to find her-tackling uncanny perils along the way. Engaging doomsday actioner-meets-John Hughes flick co-stars Michael Rooker, Dan Ewing, Ellen Hollman. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Entertaining movie best seen in 4K
on April 19, 2021
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Blind purchase based on Rotten Tomatoes fresh rating. Very enjoyable little film with a PG-13 rating so just about the entire family except maybe the youngest members could watch it together. Mostly narrated by the main character Dylan Obrien, has great opening but does slow down in the middle before the action pack conclusion. I have a 4K television and blu-ray player so I opted for this version. However, like any movie heavy with CGI it's a personal preference as to whether or not the sharper image improves the picture. Regardless, the HDR boosts the lush outdoor sets. I would recommend this movie to a friend.

Complicated plot with excellent 4K presentation
on March 8, 2021
Posted by: howardgee
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let me paraphrase that famous Lay's potato chip ad. I bet you can't watch it just once. Nolan's complicated plot requires multiple viewings which is made enjoyable with excellent and near reference quality 4K picture and sound. While this sci-fi thriller may not be for everyone, I think it will be a must purchase for Christopher Nolan fans.

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??

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.
