Another hit for the series
on October 31, 2019
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a fan of the John Wick franchise, you'll probably enjoy this third chapter. The 4k transfer was beautiful. If you saw the first two movies, you pretty much expected what you will see in this one. Actually wish they would tone it down just a bit. My favorite film in the series is still the first one, and I wish they would get back to him being on the offensive, rather than defensive, but we'll just have to wait and see how the series progresses. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase, and looking forward to the next movie.

A field trip to Europe with his classmates was supposed to provide Peter Parker (Tom Holland) with a well-earned respite from his superhero alter-ego of Spider-Man. But when he's recruited by superspy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Spidey is soon back on the job and teaming up with the InchMysterioInch-us Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal)-apparently a hero from an alternate universe-for a dangerous mission that may not be what it appears. Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei co-star in this fun-filled Marvel sequel.

Great movie!

Verified Purchase:Yes
As always, another great Spiderman movie. Great plot, great cinematography and excellent production values. If I had to find any criticism in this film, it would be the choice of Zendaya to play her part. Compared to previous girls playing that role, I found her to be a weak choice. The 4K transfer was beautiful as I expected. Great audio, and jusrt all around a great addition to any Marvel fans collection. Very happy with this purchase, and looking forward to the next installment of the franchise.

Just okay
on October 31, 2019
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not a bad movie, but not great either. I enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as I would have if they had made the characters more likeable. The movie centered around a family consisting of a mother young son and daughter. It was hard to care about the mother, the son was just okay, and the daughter was sort of annoying. And really, with a giant spider lurking around in your home, who would let their daughter run around wearing fairy wings that make her look like a big fly to a spider! The only really likeable character in the film was the lady sheriff, and she didn't really get much screen time. The redeeming feature of the movie was the scariness of the spider scenes. But if you're a science fiction fan like me, ad find spiders scary, than like me, you'll probably look past the flaws of this movie and enjoy it anyway.

This set features the first four entries in the Daniel-Craig era of the 007 franchise, following British secret service superspy James Bond as he takes on a series of villains to save the world. Included here are Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre.

Great set!
on October 31, 2019
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded my Blu-ray editions of these movies for this set. I didn't notice is big jump in resolution because the blu-rays were already good. But I think I did notice differences in color accuracy and when the HDR did it's job. Great set, I didn't mind spending the money on the upgrade, because at little more than $40, it came to just about $10 a movie for the best possible image quality. I bought the 4K set and gave the four blu-rays from my old set to my nephew who was glad to get it. Overall, very satisfied.

Fun Movie
on September 28, 2019
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
I actually bought this set thinking I was purchasing the originals from the late 1970's or early 1980's. But that's what I get for not reading the packaging. Still, it was fun seeing the remakes. Good cinematography makes a difference. It was well done for a relatively lower budget movie.

Nice Upgrade from Blu-Ray
on September 28, 2019
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fans of this movie should be very happy with the treatment this movie was given. Beautifully transferred with only a couple quick scenes where the added resolution reveals the age of the film elements, but overall well worth the upgrade. Like some of us, who happen to live in the area where the film was shot, it's great to see our local landscape so beautifully displayed.

Great Upgrade from the Blu-Ray Edition
on September 28, 2019
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of my all-time favorite movies. If you happen to own a 4K UHD television and UHD player, it's well worth it to upgrade to this beautifully transferred edition. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. If you're a fan of this movie, you'll want to have the finest possible image quality that this UHD edition delivers.

Good Set
on September 14, 2019
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
It' a good set, but the first disc, the original movie really isn't up to Blu-Ray standard as far as image quality goes. The other two discs are fine. If you want a truly great set, I would probably get the 4K set.

Good Movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a fan of the Men In Black franchise you'll probably like this 4th installment of the series. No, Will Smith is no longer there, but it was still a good movie anyway. The 4K image was excellent, and this is the way to go if you have a 4K television and a 4K Blu-Ray player.

Good Movie!
on July 29, 2019
Posted by: Joe97478
Verified Purchase:Yes
Having already seen this movie at the theater, I knew what to expect as far as the movie itself. It was a good movie and I enjoyed it. I know a lot of people had differing views on the movie, but I found it nice to get a slightly different slant on the Marvel movies. But I was mostly concerned with how it would look visually on my LG UHD OLED television. And I wasn't disappointed. It looked much better on my television than it did at the theater. The colors were more vivid, and the blanks were inky. Overall, it was visually much better on video than it was at the theater. I'm very glad that I made this purchase. I strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the movie at the theater and happens to have a 4k UHD television.

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.

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.
