Works well.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Rather than use this as a backup for my computer, I instead use it as backup power for a lamp in my living room. I actually have three of them to backup all three lamps. Using LED bulbs in my lamps gives me about 8 hours of backup power to the lamps during power failures. Most power failures are over in less time, so with these units I have normal lighting through all power failure. But all of your neighbors will wonder why you have power while they don't. Reminds me a little of the episode of the Twilight Zone entitled "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" However during the first 12 hours of charging the batteries you may experience a slight burning smell. Apparently that's normal.

Better than I expected
on September 22, 2020
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
Enjoyable move. Better than I expected. I bought the Blu-Ray version rather than the 4K and the resolution was good enough for this type of movie. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys light comedy.

Good Purchase
on September 19, 2020
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
Most of us have already seen this movie in other formats like VHS, DVD or Blu-Ray, so either you like the movie or don't. So I'm just commenting on the image quality vs the other formats. The Blu-Ray was already a considerable jump in quality from DVD, and this is also a jump, although not nearly the jump from DVD to Blu-Ray. Still, it's a noticable step up from Blu-Ray and well worth the money to update your collection to the best this movie has ever looked.

Good Film
on April 25, 2020

Although a lot of people have criticized this movie as a film that has exploited the "has fallen" premise past it's expiration date, I still found it to be an enjoyable film.

Great movie. Exactly what I was hoping for and didn't disappoint me a bit. Great cinematography and kept my interest up throughout the film. Looked especially good in 4K UHD.

As far as war movies go, it might not be exactly what you expect. It has it's own flavor and mood to it, a lot different than the typical war movie.

Very Good
on January 18, 2020
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you liked "The Equalizer" it's very likely that you will like this one too. Great movie on it's own merits, not just hanging on the coat-tails of the first one, but has a good intelligent story of it's own. The image quality of the UHD 4K transfer is excellent, superior to the standard Blu-ray transfer.

God Purchase
on December 22, 2019
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
I won't say much about the movie itself, because anybody who will be purchasing the 4K Blu-ray of it has most likely already seen it at the theater, or rented it first to see if they liked it. But the transfer itself was excellent. Beautiful colors and contrast, just as you would expect from a 4K transfer of a new movie. It goes without saying that anyone who saw the first half of the movie needs to finish it off with this excellent 4K edition.

Decent little unit
on October 31, 2019
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this as an inexpensive unit to take with me on some of my travels. Wanted something light and simple. I didn't want a more expensive unit that I would have to worry about. This fits the bill well. Not much memory though, so if you need a lot of memory, this probably isn't for you.

Nice case

Nice case. Not the best case out there, but seems to do the job well. Can easily recommend it for lower to moderately priced laptops, but would probably go with a better one for my higher end laptops,

Carry your movies and music wherever you go with this Sylvania portable Blu-ray player. Designed for DVDs, CDs and USB devices, this multifunction device lets you enjoy movies on the 11.4-inch screen in full HD, listen to your favorite tunes or watch jpg file photo slide shows. This Sylvania portable Blu-ray player comes equipped with earbuds so you can enjoy your entertainment uninterrupted.
 

Will it play Blu-Rays and display them at full 1080p resolution on the built-in screen? In the past, some portable devices have supported 1080p only to an external monitor, but only has a display capable of 720p or sometimes even lower.

Quickly heat up your food with this LG countertop microwave. It has a stainless steel look so that it matches the rest your kitchen decor, yet it warms up food quickly and efficiently thanks to the powerful microwave generator inside.
 

Do you have to open the door to set the timer?

No, you do not have to open the door to set the timer as long as you are wanting to cook at 1,00 percent power. Anything less than 100 percent, then yes, you have to open the door and adjust the cook power.

Are there required clearances for circulation?

Mine sits about 4 inches from the wall and is fine. However, this unit has an inadequate fan, and food smell seems to accumulate fast inside the unit. I've never had a microwave before that retains odors as this one does. When you open the door, you often smell the the odor of the last food you cooked in it. I would recommend leaving the door open for at least 10 minutes after any food cooked that has an odor.

Can the light bulb be replaced? I didn't see that mentioned in the Manual - but under troubleshooting, it was mentioned as a reason that the light might not come on.

It doesn't have a lightbulb, instead has an LED. The LED should outlast the microwave itself.

Can anybody tell me how loud the beeps are, how many there are and if they shut off when the door is opened?

It doesn't beep like a lot of other microwaves. It has a dainty little melody or tune. For older people with hearing loss of higher sounds it may be difficult to hear. Really do wish they had offered an alternate sound.

Bring a cinema-quality experience home with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The HCX processor maximizes the visual appeal of 4K UHD images to display your favorite films in stunning picture quality. Smart networking technology lets you create your own home streaming network with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player.
 

Will this play blu rays if there is an obstructed view? My video equipment sits in a cabinet below the tv with the doors closed. All of my other equipment uses radio frequency (RF) remotes so there are no issues. This looks good but is it RF?

Yes, you can, but you must purchase a remote extender. I have my Panasonic hidden in a cabinet above the television. The doors of the cabinet block the infra-red signal from the remote reaching the player. So I purchased a remote extender from Amazon for less than $20 dollars. The extender does need to plug into a power outlet, so you may need to add a third or fourth outlet if you are using a soundbar. The extender consists of a receiver that is placed somewhere near the televison, outside of the cabinet. And the transmitter which repeats the signal that the receiver receives, and re-transmits it from the transmitter that is placed inside the cabinet with the blu-ray player. Mine works flawlessly without a hitch. Whereas, without the extender, my player wouldn't receive the commands from the remote at all. Hope this helps.
