TV series made into movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good film for any Batman fan, especially those who are fans of the original TV series from the 60s featuring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as his trustful sidekick Robin. The story is not bad and all of the main villains, Joker-Penguin-Riddler-Catwoman, who were played by the original cast, although I don't recall Lee Meriwether as Catwoman from the TV series, are featured. The original Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'hara are also in the film.

Good Family Movie
on May 5, 2020
Posted by: hiraxG
Verified Purchase:Yes
Another good animated film by the powerhouse Pixar. I bought this recently when Best Buy was having an incredible sale. Normally one would have to wait until Black Friday for tremendous deals on 4K discs. With that being said, Disney titles normally don't go below a certain price point. I really didn't have a lot of interest in Cars. It is from 2006 and I have never seen it. But for $7.99 and it being a steelbook to boot, it was a fantastic bargain. The film was actually very enjoyable. It is based on auto racing, NASCAR, which I am a fan of. Some characters are voiced by NASCAR notables.

ok DC film
on April 11, 2020
Posted by: hiraxG
Verified Purchase:Yes
Anyone who is a fan of superhero movies knows that DC films are subpar to Marvel films. I have even heard devout DC fans say this. I got this film during black Friday for an incredible $7.99. I thought if anything, this would be visually stunning especially in 4K. Even though this made a bunch of money at the box office, I don't recall anyone raving over this film. It wasn't bad, definitely worth watching. It looked good in 4K, but wasn't stunning. Some movies seem better in 4K than others.

very good movie
on April 11, 2020
Posted by: hiraxG
Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked up this movie during the black Friday sales for $7.99. It didn't look particularly interesting, but for $7.99 and with Christian Bale, how bad could it be? A period piece involving native Americans and US forces in the later 1800s. A very good story with strong acting. Definitely a film worth watching.

Take on new challenges with the old Kong crew when you play Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for Nintendo Switch. Donkey, Diddy, Dixie and Cranky team up for more jumps and rolls, while Funky Kong climbs onto his trusty surfboard to show off his best moves. Rated E for everyone, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is an ideal option for family game night.

game for switch
on April 11, 2020
Posted by: hiraxG
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game was purchased for a present for someone turning 6 who was getting a Switch for his birthday. My mom was doing the picking. It seemed like a nice game for a 6 year old which wasn't a Mario game since that was being included with the console. It appears that it has an easier gameplay mode which may be less challenging for a younger game player.

My Mom enjoys listening to a small radio usually when she's lying in bed. She's gone through several pair of headphones over the years. It was time to buy a replacement set. These JVC In-ear headphones were not that expensive and she liked the purple color. She seems to be satisfied with them.

The OLED evo C-Series is powered by the ~9 AI Processor Gen6~made exclusively for LG OLED. High Dynamic Range (HDR) Expression Enhancer makes gaming and movies more immersive. Over 8.3 million self-lit pixels produce high-contrast images with perfect black. AI-assisted deep learning analyzes what you're watching to choose the best picture and sound setting for your content.
Overall5 out of 5
5 out of 5I have some gripes but the picture is fantastic.
By VarVoguely
My review is principally centered on the picture quality. I upgraded from a 13 year old 3D capable 1080p Vizio television. I'm not a gamer and I can't speak to its performance in that regard. I watch a lot of television and movies, so I spend a lot of time looking at screens.
The picture is great. I recommend going to rtngs.com for their recommended calibration, that's what i used and it improved the picture. I like a warmer color temperature, so I have the blue light reduction option selected. The blacks are inky black, as everyone says. It's pretty amazing. I looked at a lot of televisions in store, they all seemed kinda crappy to be honest, even at expensive price points. I paid 900 for the 42" which was the right size for my room. I prefer pixel density over screen size, plus I needed a specific mounting solution that required the smaller screen size. I used a Mount-It! fully articulating wall mount and so far it seems sturdy holding the television a full 22.5" from the wall. I have the tv mounted perpendicular to the wall.
I'm pretty sensitive to certain things in a tv that others seem not to care so much about. From here on out, I'm going to nit pick, but I really like the TV.
First, the remote and the user interface is pretty terrible. I also bought a 65" Sony x90l that has a much simpler remote and a much simpler user interface.
Second, and this is pretty bad, if you read the terms and conditions as I did, this television is straight up spying on you. If you want to use the native apps, you have to sign away the rights for this tv to listen to you and pretty much do whatever it wants with that information, as well as this tv is going to take freaking screenshots of your tv to determine what you are watching. What if you are sharing your screen from a tablet or watching a bluray? Doesn't matter, this tv is going to capture the image with its "automatic content recognition." It's pretty scummy, but it's moot because i only used the internet to update my firmware then i removed it from my network. I use a streaming box, apple tv 4k gen 5.
I used a native streaming app briefly and it worked fine, but im not going to rate that functionality because a dedicated streaming box is always going to do a better job. When the software outgrows the box, you can always buy another box. People review televisions negatively for a bad streaming app experience and i don't think people should be judging televisions for this because TVs just suck at it in general, especially over time. I also think you'd be crazy to trust the television with access to your home network. I prefer the division of labor. I could dock the review for these things, but I've just come to accept that corporations are scummy, and when i read a review about a tv I'm concerned with its picture quality.
I had no dead or malfunctioning pixels that i could see when running through the tests for that.
The TV does emit a faint buzzing sound from the hdmi port area. I can only hear it when within 12" of the television. I do not believe it is coil whine, but I'm no expert there. On Reddit, many have asked if this is normal. I honestly don't know. I reached out to LG and I was told someone would call me back. I did not receive that call. The 42" does not have a fan, and it's on the side furthest from the power supply, the sound is faint, so I'm choosing to believe it's normal without other evidence. The sound is only produced when the screen is "off" or in standby mode. I bought the geek squad 5 year warranty because in the hopefully unlikely case this craps the bed, I want the warranty.
I honestly prefer a little bezel, this tv basically has none. It's very sleek and attractive, but i would prefer some plastic bezel that affords some ability to accept an accidental jostle from the side. I have no plans to be rough with it. Just saying.
The screen has a lot of stutter due to the pixel's instantaneous response time, but I'm already used to it. I can't stand motion smoothing and turned all that off. Honestly, even with it turned off there appears to still be some smoothing (frame interpolation, synthetic frames), but maybe I'm imagining it?
The screen gets plenty bright for me, but I'm in a dimly lit room. I've not owned enough televisions to be able to comment on brightness.
One thing you should note is that this television doesn't support the latest version of digital broadcasting due to a patent dispute, but it will be years before they roll out the newer broadcasting technology anyway. It's still good for whatever you can pick up with an antenna right now. If anyone still uses that.
I've seen some other reviews saying that it doesn't default to the previous input source, but i haven't had this experience. Further, there's a menu that lets you toggle this if you want to. Good luck with the menus lol.
The sound isn't the best. That seems to be an issue with most modern TVs. The cinema sound setting is more flat which i prefer because i can't have wild swings in volume in the bedroom.
In all, i have some gripes but the picture is fantastic. It's a decent OLED. If you also want it to make you toast, not sure what to say. I think smart tvs just should stop offering smart features because the negative reviews pollute the thing I'm actually interested in which is the picture. TV native streaming just can't compete with a roku ultra 4k or an apple tv 4k.

HOW IS THIS PHONE PROGRAMED TO ANSWER ONLY LEGIT CALLS
There is a 'phonebook' feature that this system has. You enter legit phone numbers and store them in this 'phonebook'. Any numbers or allowed names that are not stored in your 'phonebook' list will be recognized by the phone and will require the caller to enter an access code. Automatic and robo-calls are not able to enter the access code so the call is disconnected and the phone will not ring.
