Does its job, very impressive for its size

Verified Purchase:Yes
Very impressed with these speakers. THEY ARE NOT TRULY WIRELESS. Know this before you purchase this, but I do not believe this should deter people as "truly wireless" speakers need a power cable. These only need a small speaker wire, and I find this is easier to hide than a thicker black power cord. Also, check which soundbars these are actually able to be used with. Most K series are not compatible. Most M series are, and most Q series are as well. I am using these with a Q70r and notice this has dramatically increased the immersion. If your soundbar is compatible with these speakers, I would HIGHLY recommend you purchase them if the room you are using is not very large as they are not the loudest speakers you can buy.

Great sequel
on October 21, 2019
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great plot, Newt is fantastic and love the progression of the series. Cant wait until the next movie!
Fantastic HDR usage, mediocre Atmos, and good detail with the 4k version. Noticeably better than the 1080p Blu-Ray. Would purchase this movie again.

Stunning movie, buy the 1080p version
on October 21, 2019
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
No complaints at all with the movie. Acting, directing, story line, and emotions conveyed in the movie are tremendous. Being said, buy the 1080p version. There is basically no Atmos (being it is a Drama, I was not expecting anything special), and HDR usage is very minimal. Would definitely buy the movie again, but would purchase the 1080p version.

Absolute Classic

Great Sci-Fi movie. Impressive use of HDR and expanded color. 4k is not needed due to the film grain. Would purchase this again for sure.

Great ending for the Infinity Saga

Great use of HDR, Atmos is only used sparingly. But overall, would recommend any Marvel fan to purchase this movie.

Save your money
on October 21, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
HDR, 4k and Atmos are completely unimpressive. Would excuse this if the film was good. Very disappointed in the entire film. Save your money, and if you need to buy this, rent it for a day.

![Saving Private Ryan - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/82144e38-2128-4c44-a39f-84bec613c99f.jpg)
Steven Spielberg's WWII epic has been hailed as a senses-shattering, realistic depiction of war, telling the emotional story of a no-nonsense U.S. Army captain (Tom Hanks), who, after facing the horrors of Omaha Beach on D-Day, receives orders to lead his troops on a search somewhere in Normandy for Private James Ryan, a lost paratrooper whose three brothers had been killed in combat. Also stars Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Barry Pepper, Vin Diesel, and Matt Damon as Ryan. 169 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

The beach scene in the begging is amazing
on October 21, 2019
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
The beach scene in the begging is an amazing use of Atmos. Probably one of if not the best uses of full surround effects. Height channels are pretty much exclusively used for whizzing bullets, which is my only complaint. HDR and 4k are not important in this film. Buy this for the Atmos track.

Demo disc, done.
on October 21, 2019
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
Instead of using the Dolby or DTS:X demo disc, use this. HDR pops when entering the Oasis. Atmos is present in every single scene. During the shootout, you will hear bullets whiz above, behind, and in front of you. Absolutely one of the best uses of HDR and Atmos I have seen.

Atmos channel is basically the helicopter channel
on October 21, 2019
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you want a deep digging, high immersion Atmos soundtrack, look no further. The overhead effects are almost exclusively for Helicopters, and even with scenes where you cannot see anything flying above you, there is something over your head. The surround immersion is also one of the best I have ever heard.
4k and HDR are nothing to write home about. Buy this disc for the audio only and you will not be disappointed.

One of the best Demo Discs, period.
on October 21, 2019
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
HDR will blind your eyes. The black levels are absolutely STUNNING. The Atmos mix digs deeper than you would think, and uses the overhead effects in almost every scene. If you want to wow your friends, throw this disc in, play 10 minutes, and they will understand why 4k Blu-Ray is necessary for videophiles.

SmartSensor provides comfort to you and your family in the rooms that matter most while saving you energy and money. Through infrared technology, SmartSensor detects when a room is occupied and communicates that information wirelessly to your smart thermostat from up to a range of 60 feet prompting automatic temperature adjustments for comfort.
What does a smart sensor do?
The Smart Senor acts as additional temperature sensors around your house to allow for full house control of the temperature. I have placed one of these upstairs, and one downstairs in our house. There was a 10-12 degree difference before I installed my Ecobee with the additional Smart Sensors. Now, there is 3-4 degree difference in our house between all floors. I also have been using the Smart Sensors as motion sensors in SmartThings to trigger automations.

Control devices remotely with this voice-enabled TP-Link Kasa smart Wi-Fi plug. It lets you schedule and operate two lights, fans or other appliances together or separately, and the built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi capabilities eliminate the need for additional hardware. Use the Kasa smartphone app to control this TP-Link Kasa smart Wi-Fi plug from wherever you are.
Is each of the outlets independent of the other or do they both react to the same command?
They are both individually controllable. I have a lamp on one side and a fan on the other side and I can control them together or separately on the app or with Alexa.

Upgrade any home media setup with this Samsung Harman Kardon Q70R soundbar. Seven speakers, a wireless active subwoofer and surround sound compatibility combine to bring professional-quality sound to your living room. Connect this Samsung Harman Kardon Q70R soundbar to your favorite audio source with support for Spotify, Alexa, Bluetooth, HDMI and many other connection options.
I already have the Samsung 9000 Surround Speakers from a Sound+ Soundbar, They seem to be larger and nicer than the 8000 series, will they work with this soundbar, or do I have to buy the smaller surround speakers?
They will not work. You will need the 8500s rear speakers.
