This release collects every episode from the debut season of Star Wars Rebels, a series that continues the saga of a ragtag Starship crew who confronts the evil Empire and attempts to thwart their plans to kill-off the last of the Jedi Knights.

This is where it begins. The fantastic series, Star Wars Rebels. The characters are interesting from the good guys to their adversaries. This first season sets the stage for what is to come. It does it well and you are sure to enjoy this series if you are at all a fan of Star Wars or just great action adventure stories.

Good HDR Presentation

The presentation of the original Hellboy on 4K UHD Blu-ray looks great. Nice highlights and color. Deep blacks. If you are a fan of this film, this is a good presentation.

Director/star Mel Gibson took home Best Picture and Best Director Academy Awards for this historical epic about 13th-century Scottish hero William Wallace, a farmer of lesser nobility, who is forced into fighting the forces of England's King Edward I after they kill his father and new wife. Highlighted by amazing battle scenes, the passionate saga, based on a 15th-century poem, also stars Patrick McGoohan, Sophie Marceau, Angus Macfadyen, Brendan Gleeson, and Catherine McCormick. 177 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Three-disc set.

One of my favorite movies. It looks great here on the 4K UHD Blu-ray format. If you haven't seen this film in 4K, do yourself a favor and get it. You will not regret it.

What a conclusion!
on July 3, 2020
Posted by: IndyTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
Rebels delivers. I was not a fan of Clone Wars, but Rebels had me hooked from the first episode. The story builds and there are consequences to the characters actions. Everything comes to a wonderful and satisfying conclusion here. A great addition to the Star Wars universe and it looks great on Blu-ray.

Stunning
on July 3, 2020
Posted by: IndyTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
This may be one of the best 4K restorations of the year. Stanley Kubrick's classic looks great. It has a 5.1 audio track, not Dolby Atmos. Still, it delivers the goods. I've seen this film several times and it felt like I was seeing it for the first time, anticipating what was coming next. What an experience.

Worth your time

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you like animated films this is worth your time. Actually, if you enjoy good films, it is worth your time. I saw this on Netflix and I loved it so much I had to pick it up on 4K UHD Blu-ray. Best Buy even had it on sale for a great price. Definitely one I am going to re-watch and I am happy to have it in my collection.

Another Disney Hit...Now in 4K!
on February 24, 2020
Posted by: IndyTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
Zootopia was one that surprised me. Disney made another hit with this film that covers a rather deep topic...discrimination. But it does it in a way that is not heavy-handed. The characters are once again enjoyable to watch and have emotional depth to them. The animation is stellar. The standard Blu-ray looks quite good, but I do feel that the 4K with HDR offers some picture improvements. The price for this one in the exclusive Best Buy steelbook was around $15 on sale, so it was a no-brainer to upgrade this one in my collection. One of my favorites from Disney during their latest round of hit animated films, and I will be revisiting it again and again.

One of Pixar's Best...Now in Stunning 4K!
on February 24, 2020
Posted by: IndyTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
Inside Out truly surprised me. I saw this one in theaters and it grabbed me with its look at a child's emotional struggle during a major (to her) life-altering event...moving away from the home she has always known. It delivers on every mark. The acting is great. Pixar once again chooses actors for their abilities to play the characters and not just big names that will draw in the crowds. The animation is top-notch. And with 4K and HDR, the colors and the image overall just pop. I knew this would be stunning in HDR, and I was not disappointed. A worthy upgrade from the standard Blu-ray.

Amazing special effects and a furry sense of humor highlight this Joe Dante scareshow about L.A. TV anchorwoman Karen White (Dee Wallace), who after a terrifying event, goes on vacation at the Colony, a remote California rest resort. Once there, White finds the Colony is home to a host of strange characters, who all seem to be vicious werewolves. John Sayles loosely adapted the Gary Brandner novel; with Christopher Stone, Patrick Macnee, Kevin McCarthy, John Carradine. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Worth the upgrade to 4K!
By IndyTim
Absolutely worth the upgrade to 4K. I have the previous Blu-ray from Scream Factory and I wasn't sure a 4K upgrade would benefit this film much. Boy, was I wrong. The picture is very pleasing. Film grain is intact but not heavy. The reds and lights of the opening scene pop and create a picture with more depth. Details can be seen in faces, clothing, and the effects. Oh, the effects. Though little of the werewolves is shown, what we get looks amazing and the transformation scene has never been more grotesque. The previous Blu-ray is included and it has loads of very interesting special features that I also thoroughly enjoyed after watching the film. The Howling is a classic. Buy it!

I got the slipcover, but I was in the store. Currently, all issued should have the slip. The wrapping is over the slipcover. At some point they might stop issuing slipcovers, but they are on the early runs out there now. So, even ordering online you should receive one.

The continuous drain option increases flexibility by allowing you to continuously drain the condensate water for long unattended operation (drain tube included). The digital humidistat control system automatically senses room moisture levels and activates dehumidification to accurately maintain desired humidity levels. Wi-Fi connected with Amazon Alexa voice control, you can monitor the humidity in your home from almost anywhere. It is compatible with Apple iOS9.0 (or later) and Android version 4.3 (or later). A 2.5 GHz Wi-Fi connection is required to operate the Smart Dehumidifier App and remote features.
 

Does this 70 have the option to hook up to hose so you don’t have to empty it?

Yes. I use the included hose and it continuously drains. No issues.

When sleek good looks meet powerful cleaning and intelligent performance, you~ll experience laundry on a whole new level. TurboWash 360~ cleans larger loads fast so you get more done while enjoying the same great washing performance. And forget about endless sorting~AI technology uses built-in sensors to detect fabric texture and load size and then automatically selects the right settings for advanced fabric care. Activate Smart Pairing in the ThinQ app, and the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle, making it the ultimate laundry hack. The gentle power of steam reduces common household allergens in fabrics by more than 95%*. Durable and stylish tempered glass door with rose gold accents adds the perfect finish. *Based on certification by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)
 

Many have stated the the control panel is hard to see because it is not backlit. Has this problem been remedied with the newest model?

I can see the panel just fine, but I turn the light on when using the washer and dryer. That said, there are lights on the unit, but it isn't fully illuminated for use in the dark.

Is this unit capable of converting DTS signals to Dolby Digital 5.1?

I do not believe so. I seem to recall that I had a Samsung Blu-ray player years ago (maybe the F7500) that would do this.

Does this player have an option where you can change the screen size? I HATE letterbox.

Do any disc players do this? Every TV from the past several years has several built-in 'zoom' functions. So, use those. I see no such options in the player's manual.

can u download an app like a disney+?

No. The app selection isn't very broad. I don't even use them, and I recommend a dedicated streaming box over the player's apps.
