Good Cooler for 12th gen intel, Notfor 13th Gen
on February 4, 2023
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good, silent, easy to install Cpu cooler for 11th and 12th gen intel cpu like the 11700k and 12700k, Its not for 13th gen 13700k. I bought this to tame temperatures on 13700k which would constituently hit 100C while gaming and turn my computer to a leaf blower. It just couldn't do the job, not its fault, the 13700k is a power hungry heat machine. If u have a 13th gen intel cpu, I recommend to get a Thermalright peerless assassin SE cpu cooler. It costs less than hyper 212 and does a much better job , it get temps as low as an AIO water cooler in the range of 60c-70c while gaming, just incredible.

Great 4k Transfer, Must buy for collectors
on October 19, 2022
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
For me, Buying classic movies in 4k is hit or miss. The best classic transfer in my opinion is Vertigo (looks better than movies shot today). Poltergeist 4k transfer is one of the best I have seen. The Film grain is not heavy and just perfect. the movie looks amazing and its one of my favorite. this is a collectors must buy.

Absolutely Amazing PQ , Must buy for Home theatre
on October 19, 2022
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my second Panasonic UB820K player. I previously bought one in 2020 open box because I couldn't find a new one in the store. I noticed the image quality wasn't up to standard ,not sure if something was broken .The picture quality was good but it wasn't mind blowing good. My old player just broke and it recently stopped sending a signal through the HDMI to my television. I was very apprehensive to get another from Panasonic at such a high price of $500. I followed my instinct and bought the UB820 again. I have a 65" Sony A90J which i use primarily to watch 4K HDR movies and sports. I believe Panasonic did a silent upgrade on this player because the picture quality is light years ahead of what I got on my other broken player. The colors produced are richer, HDR highlights pop brighter and detail is preserved. I also have a Sony X800M2 player and in comparison the UB820 is miles ahead in image quality. I watched 4k versions of Thor love and thunder, Bullet Train , Elvis, doctor Strange Multiverse and they all look incredibly sharp and detailed. This player has the latest firmware out of the box ver 1.69. I want to believe that Panasonic has done some tweaking on Dolby vision because it looks incredible. I have to recommend this player because the picture quality it produces is worth the money. I am over satisfied with my purchase.

Great picture...Buggy/glitchy Software( AndroidTV)
on July 24, 2022
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
This should be a 4 or 4.5 stars rating. I recently bought this TV for my living room, I was previously using an Lg C9. This tv has amazing picture quality, better black levels, amazing color, better HDR implementation, better upscaling , better motion compared to the C9. My main issue is with the android tv OS, it is a cluttered, hitchy, buggy mess which can be frustrating at times. Some users recommend using the apps only optimized mode on the android tv, but voice assistance gets disabled, Why Sony????. Most people will say get an external box but there are other issues beyond that. i keep getting notifications to setup an external device on the HDMI port after i have already done it eg a Fire TV cube. It seems to have a bug which makes the TV forget devices connected to the TV. The TV is very aggressive with its dimming algorithm, 4k HDR Movies start out much brighter than my C9 but after 5 mins they equalize in brightness levels, I have disable energy saving and turned off all power saving options but it appears the Sony is terrified of Burn in even though this TV has a heatsink, you would think Sony would let the TV breathe and flex it muscles. I have a vizio elevate sound bar and its seems to have handshake issues with the A90j TV just like the C9 also. The A90J works better with the vizio elevate and gives me fewer headaches than the C9. I am not sure what is responsible for the sound issues whether its d TV or the soundbar. When you watch a 4k HDR dolby vision movie, the A90j looks incredible. The colors are natural and not over done, images have depth. My jaw dropped when i watched Doctor Strange 2 Imax enhanced on disney+ on the A90j, The C9 wasn't close. I will recommend the TV due to the amazing picture quality but Sony has fix the HDMI port bug and allow the TV to show off the brightness by relaxing the ABL not just in vivid mode. I was looking at getting the Samsung s95b which looked brighter and punchier in the store demo mode at best buy but I just cant do w/o Dolby vision. The ATSC 3.0 tv tuner requires a really strong signal to receive tv channels on an antennae. it tends to buffer for a couple of seconds when i change channels. If you live close to the towers then this shouldn't be a problem. The upscaling is better than the C9 for 1080p content, it is basically tied for 720p and 480p content, there is so much a Tv can do at such low resolution. The A90j is a noticeably better TV than the C9 if anyone was thinking about upgrading. The only 2 areas i prefer the Lg C9 is the web os and Lg is better at recognizing devices connected to the HDMI ports.

This CPU is a Beast.. Believe the hype
on April 24, 2022
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to switch to AMD ryzen but i decided to give team blue one last chance, so I reluctantly upgraded from a Core i7 9700k to this i7-12700k thinking that I wouldn't notice any difference from the previous generation. I was proven wrong, this 12700k is an absolute performance beast. it kills my 9700k and doesn't even break a sweat. No matter the tasks whether video encoding or heavy multitasking running numerous programs. Video editing at 4k is now an absolute breeze. If you are a gamer , this is the CPU u need. I have an RTX 2070 super and was considering upgrading but due to market , I held off. This CPU has extended the life of my 2070, Game play feels more smoother , never dropping below 60fps at ultra setting at 1440p, an example would be Batman Arkham knight which is notoriously a stutter fest is now much smoother and immersive. I don't know how but this upgrade has made my games look better and more responsive. This CPU is a game changer. I have to commend AMD also for this because if they didnt challenge intel with Ryzen , intel would never have stepped up their game. The 12700k is the best CPU intel has made in over 20 years, this product is incredible, highly recommend and also AMD needs to be supported also ,so that things don't return to the way they were 15 years ago. Buy this cpu

Horrible product, Save urself a headache don't buy
on April 24, 2022
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this router wifi combo a year ago, For the past 4 months, I have had to restart it an average of 3 times a day due to no signal from the wifi. It started giving me headaches about 6 months ago when the ethernet ports didn't work anymore. I paid almost $200 dollars for something that didn't last a year. i just couldn't take it anymore and had to buy an Arris router modem instead. It seems to be working fine so far, fingers crossed. Time will tell. STAY AWAY from this Nighthawk AC1900 router and save ur money.

Today, the Chicago projects once terrorized by an uncanny urban legend have long since been gentrified-and graphic artist/local product Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) now shared an upscale loft with his gallery runner girlfriend (Teyonah Parris). Starved for inspiration, he started looking into the Candyman myth... only to uncover buried trauma and something far, far worse. Sequel/reboot for the '90s fear franchise co-stars Colman Domingo, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Vanessa A. Williams, and Tony Todd. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

A must buy for Dolby Atmos sound system owners
on July 29, 2021
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
Awesome award winning movie, great acting. 4k visual are great , the Dolby Atmos sound is the main star on this disc and if you have a capable surround sound system , the bass from the engines will rock your room. You will feel like u are driving in the cars, chest pounding engine grind. It will give your subwoofer a total work out.

Discover a whole new level of immersion that envelops you in 7.1.2 channel surround sound with multiple speakers, a built-in subwoofer and advanced audio technologies. And with rear speakers it supports 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.
 

The sound quality of my Sony OLD 83" TV, 7000 soundbar and 2 wireless speakers is unacceptable. The sound quality as advertised is not the same. Why do i have to keep turning the TV up to 50 to 60 to hear it?

Try turning on the Voice option on your remote. Also turn off Audio DRC and Turn on Advanced auto volume. To do this
Press Home on the remote >setup>advanced settings>audio settings.
Make sure Audio DRC is off, it limits the volume by as much as 50%

I have a LG 70UM6970PUA, I watch most of my content through a Chromecast with google tv. I also have a ps4 & switch that are connected. I was looking to get the HT-A7000 and new SA-RS5 speakers. Is this sound bar compatible or too much for my current tv?

It should be okay, I have an LG C2 and it works fine with it

Can the sound bar be attached to the bottom of the TV? I have a Sony - 65" Class BRAVIA XR A80J Series OLED 4K UHD and the TV is on a dynamic wall mount (the mount can be moved around.). I would like the sound bar to be attached to the TV or the mount.

It can't be attached to the TV but it comes with wall brackets in the box so u can fix it on the wall under the TV

How do you turn this thing on? It says it suppose to turn on automatically after I plug in, and it says hello, but I can't get it to do that. The remote won't turn it on either. Am I missing a switch somewhere? This is my 2nd unit figure. The 1st was a de

Sounds like you have a defective unit, I just plugged mine in and pressed the power button on the remote or the the touch button on the bar itself.connect a device to it like a streamer and see if it changes, make sure it is hooked up correctly to the tv. Take it to best buy and have it checked out

Can a Roku streaming 4k remote control the Sony HT-A7000 volume and mute? Thank you.

I believe it should, my apple tv . Nvidia shield and fire cube remotes can control it. If you plug into the sound bar , I think it should work fine.

Will the HT-A7000 fit under a Sony a80K with the stand/legs in the raised "soundbar" configuration?

I have an A90j in the raised position and it fits under it ,so I believe it should fit under an A80k also

Basic bootup speeds won~t cut it ~ not at work, on the go, or in the game. But the Crucial P3 SSD is anything but basic. With NVMe performance that~s more than 6x faster than SATA2 and storage capacities up to 4TB3, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. Get faster bootups, downloads and file transfers, and store all your files, photos, videos, apps, and games with room to spare with the quality and dependability you expect from Crucial.
