Brilliant display

Deep blacks. Brilliant lighting. Detail is stunning with 8k/16k HDR material. Doesn't hurt the eyes with ultra brightness like the latest Samsungs. Sometimes the AI processing is too much, so I turn those off. Also wish the remote would light up the buttons in a dark room. Exceptional deal at $3,000 though.

Near perfect

Best overall TV I’ve seen yet! Ultra deep blacks is the first thing I noticed. “12k” content off YouTube is absolutely stunning and gorgeous. Colors are extremely vivid depending on your settings. Pre-sets are generally of the more subtle quality but there is a vivid mode and you can customize it to “pop” like other brands (such as Samsung) if that’s your thing. The sound is better than any similar grade TV. They are invisibly built into the screen itself so they are front-firing instead of back-firing like most TVs. It even accepts speaker wire if you wish to use the TV as a center channel! About the only thing I can maybe pick at is the audio out is not automatic to your sound system. You have to explicitly set it to use your audio system v. its own speaker set and switch it back and forth if you wish to toggle sound output.

It's the year 2029, and much of the world's mutant population has succumbed to a genocidal, man-made virus. As a down-and-out Logan (Hugh Jackman, in his final appearance as the character) comes to terms with his failing healing factor, he and an ailing Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) must protect Laura (Dafne Keen)-a young genetically bred mutant with powers similar to Logan's-from the evil organization that created her. With Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant. 137 min.

Good transfer to optical media
on July 17, 2021
Posted by: merryman
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just as good as I remembered it. This is a good transfer to optical media. The movie itself is excellent but be warned it is quite dark and quite brutal and language not for kids. Still, if you're familiar with the comic, it's not as extreme as Old Man Logan.

Good deal for epic classics

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'd actually give this 5 stars except the sound and visual engineering can only be so good for movies this old. Other than that, great deal for 2 epic classics for the price of one.

Impressive sound processing
on May 14, 2021
Posted by: merryman
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this because Yamaha is known for its reliability and I'm tried of amps going bonkers on me. Hard to say as I just bought it but I'm looking forward to a trouble-free experience. What impressed me were the sound processors though! Usually they all feel fake and worse than the original sound track but I actually enjoy some of these for music and for movies, and there are many to choose from.

So far so good. For the price point, it's hard to find anything better. Just be aware that besides the two main speaker outputs, the other outputs only take bare wire. Also make sure it has enough HDMI inputs for your purposes. Sound quality is satisfactory considering the price again.

Great but not much replay value
on February 22, 2020
Posted by: merryman
Verified Purchase:Yes
I saw it once in the theatres and loved it, but watching it again all the surprises and novelty wore off and not nearly as entertaining. I noticed the second time around the director was trying to make it "different" likely after complaints about Episode VII being too similar to past Star Wars movie, but Episode VIII bucked the trend in at times an awkward way.

OMG Buy it already!

If you are an action fan and see this on sale, don't even hesitate one moment to get it. The action is off the chain!!! and nothing in recent memory compares. The formality and ceremony (you'll see what I mean) in the first 2 movies make the underground world even that much cooler. It feels like some of the weight in the lore was lost in the 3rd film, but they made it up for it with even MOAR over-the-top action.

Excellent, but...
on February 15, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent standalone movie, but if you are familiar with the comic story arc this doesn't quite live up to how grand and epic the comic was. I like this to a "civil dispute" rather than a Civil War. Still, I'd say it rates in the top 15% of MCU movies.
