Great movie, Great Encode
on March 13, 2020
Posted by: Faber
Verified Purchase:Yes
Now You See Me 2 is a fun movie, and this high-quality encode really does it justice.
It might seem strange to mention video quality, but actually, it makes a lot of sense. If you're buying a movie or TV show on physical media, the odds are pretty good that you already like it. In that case, reviews of the movie/show are unnecesary. And since movies and TV shows sometimes have multiple "printings", it's rather important to be able to find out the quality of a particular release.

Great movies, Good Quality

Verified Purchase:Yes
The quality of the encodes on these discs could have been better, but on the other hand, I can't really complain since I got this double feature for $6. Besides, I probably only noticed the quality deficiencies because I watched these movies on my PC in addition to my TV.

I never understood what all the fuss was about with the Harmony remotes, but man, I do now. The ability to add codes for devices that didn't exist when the remote was made is incredible. This thing will never be outdated because it can always be updated! It even has codes for some pretty unusual devices, like my HTP projector and my Odroid C2 (running LibreElec).

These are some of the highest-quality DVDs I've come across. Both the quality of the videos and the quality of the packaging tell me these are the real deal*.
*It might seem strange that I make a big deal about them being legitimate, but there are some people who sell bootleg DVDs (even on sites like Amazon) and it can either be hard or impossible to figure out if they're legitimate until you can check them out in-person.

Zip ties would be better suited.
The Velcro comes undone too easy.
The Velcro comes undone too easy.
Faber
Different Use Cases
February 29, 2020
Zip ties were the go-to fastener for cabling for many years. The problem is that if you want to get at those cables/wires again at some point, you have to cut the zip tie and risk accidentally clipping one of the cables/wires. Zip ties are probably fine for permanent installations, but for anything where you might want to get in to do some work, Velcro ties are the way to go. Desktop PCs are a great example - the average Joe probably doesn't need Velcro ties in his PC because he won't be going in there, but the PC tech who repairs it down the road may be very appreciative of the Velcro ties which kept him from accidentally snipping a power cable. And for PC enthusisasts who go into - and potentially rewire - their PCs regularly enough, Velcro ties can be a lifesaver.

3 out of 5Unfortunately it’s not good
By Michael
I have a 1660 Xc ultra. It does a great job on almost every game. In 1080p I wouldn’t need anything else, unfortunately I bought a 1440p monitor and now I have to upgrade :). This card was a bit of a step up and I thought AMD was over their driver issues...this card hit better FPS marks in Apex Legends on 1440p, but it crashed three times first night...I am going to have to return it and get something else. Thank you Best Buy for protecting your customers from faulty products! I will only buy electronics from my local Best Buy store because of their return policy, I know I will always end up with the best of the best.

Misleading Heading
March 31, 2020
I really think your review title/heading should reflect the true nature of the issue. With your heading, you're saying that the GPU is bad. But it's only later in your review that you explain that it's actually a driver problem - one which was fixed about a week ago.

5 out of 5Best 4K projector hands down for the price!
By JohnM34711
Easy install like any other projector. Uses 3 mounting holes for ceiling bracket. Initial setup very easy and user friendly.
Picture quality is phenomenal! Great color, amazing blacks, and HDR is excellent.
Ensure you have a high speed newer HDMI cable supporting 4K and 3D. I’m projecting on a 120” screen and love it! The 3D is amazing!
For those that say not bright enough, they didn’t do basic research as BENQ specifically states this model HT3550 is for dark rooms and the TK800M is for room with more daylight.
My first purchase came defective as half of screen had white vertical lines. However, nobody can really know if came out of factory this way or this occurred during shipping process.
I called BENQ to see if they would exchange and all calls go to voice mail. To this day I never got a call back from them.
Still extremely happy with this purchase! Don’t hesitate to buy this model if you have a dark theater / media room.

By Happyjack4k
Love it, great have had zero issues with it, infact it might be my last projector ever..unless a better one comes out that’s real 4k. Or 8k although then video games will become too big for us to store on consoles sadly..so while it’s real 4k it’s still two 1080 chips over each other which by all means looks pretty good..just gets too bright with games like destiny..

Pretty much any brand should be fine. Just stay away from Rocketfish - that stuff is brittle! It's very difficult to strip the Rocketfish wire without losing a lot of strands. Even if you successfully pull it off, it falls apart when you wrap it around the speaker terminal. I don't know, maybe they expect you to use banana clips.
