The HDR is not good if you compare it with some of the high performers in the market but this Tv is really a good option if you are looking for a budget 4k tv. 4 HDMI ports with hdmi 2.1 support at this price point is pretty good .

Astonishingly good!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was thinking to get the pricier SW5 but I changed my mind when I listened to a demo model of SW3 at the BB store. The bass is really good for a small to medium sized room. I paired it with A5000 soundbar…the bar is not what hoped for but the sub makes up for it. Tested couple of reference level 4k discs - Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises … the bass was remarkable !!

Decent sound-bar
on August 21, 2022
Posted by: SamRVA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: I like the overall sound produced with SW3 subwoofer, I would say it provides a decent movie experience.
Cons: Mids are not good, need to crank up the volume much higher to get clear voices when watching movies.
Overall it gives a better home theater experience to someone who had been using basic 5-6 years old sound-bar system but nowhere close to traditional 2.1 or 3.1 HT system.

With his wife requiring a six-figure surgery, veteran William Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) saw no other out than to join his career criminal adoptive brother Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal) on a brazen bank heist. When the job went sideways, they opted to carjack an ambulance for escape-and found unwilling passengers in an EMT (Eiza Gonzalez) and the very cop they wounded. Michael Bay's nail-biting redo of a 2005 Danish thriller co-stars Garret Dillahunt, A Martinez, Devan Long. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Visuals and audio were amazing but lacks depth in story so it felt very flat and longer then it should have been.

I have a few documents saved into a USB drive. Is it possible to transfer those over to this iPad?

Try using Apple usb c to usb adapter…should be around $20

Wondering how these will hold up when used at the gym?I have a set of Jabra Elites and they're great but they fall out when laying on a bench or when deadlifting.

No it doesn’t hold up when laying down.
