Excellent reference 5080 card
on October 27, 2025
Posted by: Raptor2099
Verified Purchase:Yes
As one of the ONLY retail priced RTX 5080 cards on the market andbeing from a reputable brand like Asus I can't recommend this card more. This is a no frills reference spec card that works as intended. It's very easily modded to add noctua or arctic fans with a little 3D printing or searching on something like etsy. SFF compatibilty is also there as it's a 2.5 slot card max (closer to 2.0 slots) Love the card, gaming at 4K with RT and MFG is quite nice !

Excellent Series in 4K
on January 29, 2024
Posted by: Raptor2099
Verified Purchase:Yes
HBO made a real banger here with The Last of Us. The first real great game to tvshow/movie adaptation IMO. The 4K disc looks sharper and more color accurate than the streaming version. Totally worth getting the physical version.

Good value gaming keyboard
on December 6, 2023
Posted by: Raptor2099
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great keyboard when considering price. It's absolutely not comparable to a mechanical keyboard. The keys are very "mushy" and you can't piano keys like the spacebar because of that. But on a tight budget it's definitely serviceable.

Wow this is an excellent 4K restoration which apparently came from a full 4K rescan of the original film. The audio is also pretty awesome with Atmos in full effect. Very good channel separation. Definitely a must buy !

Good surround speakers for Sony sound bar
on June 10, 2023
Posted by: Raptor2099
Verified Purchase:Yes
Provides strong surround channels for the HT-A5000 but no up firing drivers so a bit of a let down there, especially at the price. Plus the wireless surrounds that DO have up firing drivers is even more obnoxiously expensive. Loses a star for price.

The outrageous InchEvil DeadInch series continues as cynical, chainsaw-handed department store clerk Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his '73 Oldsmobile land in medieval England, where he battles pit-dwelling monsters, his own villainous twin, and a battalion of living skeletons. Hip humor and great special effects highlight Sam Raimi's action-horror yarn; Embeth Davidtz, Ian Abercrombie also star. Theatrical version; 81 min./Director's cut; 96 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English. Four-disc set.

Corsair's quality control is always very good in my opinion. This is an excellent PSU I used in a build I made to sell to a friend. Powers an RTX 3070ti without issues in a decent system.

Cash grab but good movie
on June 10, 2023

I love the steel book 4k discs and have been collecting all of the Marvel movies. This however seems like a bit of a cash grab... Why would I want 2 copies of the same movie for 2 different steel books... Loses a star for that alone. Otherwise good quality disc.

Watch HD channels over the air with this Antennas Direct ClearStream 4MAX antenna. This long-range attic/outdoor TV antenna has quick-connect assembly that makes setup easy. It receives TV signals from over 70 miles away, and its multi-directional UHF and Hi-VHF configurations provide optimal reception without having to aim it. The ClearStream 4MAX is whole-home ready and connects with existing satellite or a cable provider~s wiring to deliver the antenna's signal to all your TVs. There are also many advantages to an outdoor TV antenna over an indoor antenna. An outdoor antenna will have fewer obstructions and less interference (noise) from electronics devices inside your home. This Antennas Direct ClearStream 4MAX antenna includes a 20-inch mast with a pivoting base to allow for installations on horizontal or vertical surfaces like a roof, fascia, or attic. Note: the range of this antenna will vary greatly depending on the height, power, and frequency coming from the TV tower, as well as the height of the antenna installation, the terrain and obstacles between your home and the broadcast towers.
 

What channels will this pick up from zip code 07726? I’m about 60 miles from New York and Philadelphia.

I'm on Spotswood about 5 miles from 07726 and I get 60-ish channels (only 45 are unique, there are a lot of duplicate channels) I found the best direction to point the antenna from the app "AntennaPoint" to get the most channels with the best reception.

Can I use 4 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-4-dolby-atmos-enabled-elevation-speakers-pair-black/6253617.p?skuId=6253617 mounted toward the ceiling plus 1 center and 2 floor standing speakers for the surround effect and will it degrade the sound?

No you can only use 2 atmos speakers on this avr. What you need is a 9.2 channel receiver for what you want to do.
