Never gets old

I did not purchased this movie in Blu Ray, only DVD. So, definitely, the picture improvement is very noticeable!
I did not see any video defects, and thoroughly enjoyed the resolution, color saturation, and sound provided in UHD.
This refers to the Extended Edition, as I have not seen the Theatrical Edition (also on this disc) yet, but I doubt picture quality would differ.

Pretty good. Reliable? Too early to tell

This replaces an older Shark iron that after about 10 years of service went kaput.
This one feels heavier, sturdier. So far does a good (not impressive) job of ironing out. Get hot pretty quickly, and the water reservoir is definitely better at holding water without spillages than my previous one,
Only time will tell how reliable (10 more years?) it will be!

Good or excellent, depending on your needs

I am happy with the Roku Express, although it is not for everyone.
PROS: small, easy to move to other rooms. Not a speedster (especially while loading apps) but not a turtle, neither. Good 1080 picture. Roku's app selection is unbeatable.
CONS: Dolby Digital via Optical cable FAILS! There is a statement in the Settings, alluding to this, so it seems it is a problem Roku has not been able to figure out how to fix. If you change from one to another, the 5.1 (Dolby Digital) audio gets mishandled by either the TV or the receiver, and in my case, when that happens, I have to turn off and on the TV, in order for the sound to resynchronize. Apps load kind of slowly, but not to a point that it may be exasperating. There is no USB input (in case you wanted to plug an USB drive, for photos, movies, etc.).

Only time (and a surge) will tell
on September 6, 2019
Posted by: FelixR
Verified Purchase:Yes
The person installing my new equipment recommended getting some Panamax surge protection, but IMHO, those are way too expensive. I selected these Insignia because of their price, their seemingly (from the previous user reviews) adequate protection, and because I have never had any appliance having power problems in my hours. Therefore,.......only time or a power surge will tell how good or bad these protectors are!

These are just basic HDMI cable (version 2.1, though, if I am not mistaken). There is not much to state about them. They either connect a signal or they not. Both worked perfectly.
I read that there are differences in the type of information/data these may pass as compared to older 1.2 versions, but I believe (I am not sure) at this point in time this mostly affects HDMI ARC, and not much more. I could be wrong, though.

Seems like a good player, and not expensive
on September 6, 2019
Posted by: FelixR
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this player because of the following features: 1) Dolby Vision (which matches my LG OLED TV), 2) plays Super Audio CDs (I know........ not too many people use this capability), 3) plays FLAC files (supposedly, although I still have not tested this), and 4) a second HDMI output for AUDIO (this saved me from just receiving Dolby Digital (and not DTS Master or True HD) sound from my TV, as my receiver does not have HDMI ARC. Lifesaver!
CONS: 1) does not display time played in its front face, 2) does not connect anymore to Gracenote while playing Audio CDs (I knew this going in, but it is still a bummer), and 3) Sony Entertainment Network does not have many stream options (definitely not as much as Roku nor LG TVs).

Really good TV picture!!
on September 6, 2019
Posted by: FelixR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Researched OLED vs. QLED TVs before doing this purchase, for weeks. Every time I compared TVs a BB's demo floor, this was the model that always seemed to have the best picture. (There is a newer model, C9, I believe, but I could not distinguish any difference compared to the B8.) I was more expensive, though, than QLEDs.
I am giving it 4 stars because: 1) it has the potential to have a burn image, so it adds a little concern for its reliability over time, and 2) I really wanted the 77" version, but it was $4k more, so no thanks, pass!!
Really recommended for people willing to pay extra for the close to best picture, are careful on how to avoid burn image, and will utilize it in a not too bright environment.
As PROs, I will quickly list its magnificent streaming options (no ROKU needed!), its large viewing angle, and how thin and light it is.
