Must Own Collection

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Lord of the Rings movies are some of the most epic movies ever made. With the edition of 4k HDR and Dolby Atmos they are even more epic and a must own. This collection comes with the theatrical and extended version if each film. I'm not sure why anyone would want to watch the theatrical version over the extended version but they are included if that's your cup of tea. So set back, enjoy a second breakfast and take an epic journey from the shire to Mordor as you've never seen it or heard it before.

I'm not sure why this game got such bad reviews. I found it enjoyable, especially playing co-op. The graphics are excellent for a launch game. Sure it might be a little repetitive but aren't all games to some extent. I don't have time for games that are hundreds if hours long so I found this to be a manageable length.

Excellent Collection

Posted by: Maddhatter01
Verified Purchase:Yes
While the picture is noticeably improved with the 4k release its the sound that sees the biggest upgrade here. The addition of Dolby Atmos takes these movies to the next level. In fact, this is some of the best implementation of Atmos I have experienced. If you are a fan of the Underworld series and have been on the fence about whether or not to upgrade to the 4K editions, don’t hesitate. The is an excellent collection.

It's An iPad
on October 15, 2021
Posted by: Maddhatter01
Verified Purchase:Yes
There's not a great amount of difference between this year's model and the previous model. The camera is noticeably better but who takes pics with an iPad anyway? It is nice that space is doubled for the same price as the previous model. However, it would have been nice if they had maintained the 128gb option at a slightly higher price than the 64gb model. The price of the 256gb model just seems like overkill. Overall, it is a quality product and does what it is meant to do.

What can I say? This is a beautiful box set. The steal books and the sleeve are well made. No matter what people thought about the final season there is no doubt in my mind this this is the most stunning and ambitious series to ever grace the screen.

Good Kids Movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
A very fun movie for kids and adults alike. It was great to see some if the other Hannah Barbara characters, as well. The animation and voice acting is great but I wonder why they didn't just cast Matthew Lillard as Shaggy. He has done the voice for years and does an excellent job. I don't believe the age group that this movie is intended for even know who Will Forte is, or care.

Good but Not Great
on December 16, 2020
Posted by: Maddhatter01
Verified Purchase:Yes
A lot of viewers didn't like Birds of Prey but I found it fun for what it was. Margot Robbie does another excellent turn as Harley Quinn. Ewan McGregor was also great as Black Mask. The other actresses did an adequate job as well. I do agree that casting Cassandra Cain as a teeage street thug was a poor choice. It probably would have been better if they just changed her name. I believe that is whst turned most viewers off more than anything.

Great Performance
on December 16, 2020
Posted by: Maddhatter01
Verified Purchase:Yes
Joaquin Phoenix gives what is perhaps the best performance of his career in The Joker. It's obvious he put everything he had into the role both mentally and physically. This movie was supposedly meant to be a one off exploration of the Joker and I believe it should remain so. I hope the talks of a sequel are no more than rumors.

By Mike
from Wellsville, Ohio
This tv is worse then the one I bought back in 2009 which always had a great picture and auto adjusted everything. I can't get 4k movies to look good without snow effect except the brand new movies. any movies that where older that they put on 4k look worse then the blu rays. I can't stand having to change settings non stop.

Be Patient and Keep Adjusting
October 11, 2018
Most older movies that were transferred to 4k do have the snow effect in some places. It's just the nature of the beast. It isn't the tv's fault. Newer movies, especially those with CGI don't have that problem, bc many are filmed in native 4k. I was initially frustrated with having to adjust the picture for everything, but once you adjust the settings to your liking for movies, games, etc you don't have to worry about it again. Some movies and games automatically come preset, and look great. Anyway, I think once you work out the kinks, you'll actually love this tv. I know I do.

5 out of 5Another year for Vizio televisions.
By charliehustle77
from Virginia
This is another great TV offered by Vizio that offers high end tech and . I have a 2018 Vizio P-Series that I love and is going strong and this new 2019 version of the Quantum P-Series does not disappoint either.
Out of the box Vizio takes into account the size of the TV. I know it's hard, but follow the instructions on the box. They make the box so that the top opens, you remove the remote, manual, cord and stands. Then you slide the box right off of the base. This reveals the tv which is wrapped in a bag with handles and the screen is protected with a cardboard/padded piece. I left that on until I had the tv on the wall. The TV looks pretty epic, with very little bezel and a thin design. All the inputs are on one side of the tv and vizio made that area sunk into the tv a little more than the rest making cable management a little easier. The power cord is on the other side. The stands are very wide on the tv. Make sure if you're not mounting it, that you have a wide base/stand to put it on. The only head scratcher is the clear adhesive protector Vizio used to go around the bezel. When I removed it, it left adhesive stuck to the bezel? What in the world. This didn’t happen with my P-series last year, strange that it happened this year. I tried peeling slower, I tried peeling faster, still the same. I will have to use some alcohol swabs to lightly run down the sides of the TV to get it off. Not something you want to have to do to a brand new TV.
That one negative being said, there’s not much bad to say about this tv. After turning it on you’ll see how bright and colorful this TV really is. Vizio has done a great job with their “Calibrated” and “Dark Calibrated” settings. I use Calibrated and tweak a few small things but for the most part, it’s spot on. Watching 4k content on Netflix just doesn’t seem like you’re watching on a LED screen. The blacks are so black it seems like an old school plasma and the color is rich and deep. I watched the movie Triple Frontier and the quality of the movie on this tv had my jaw dropping. If you get the settings just right, the black screen while on, will barely show up in an all black room. Watching sports like hockey and basketball they look great with no pixilation and vivd colors. Playing games on PS4 I notice no lag. This TV is going to make me go buy a ps4 pro it looks so good. The quantum dot technology seems pretty amazing and the HDR10 and Dolby Vision look spectacular when available.
The remote is the same as last year with there being a direct button for Netflix, Amazon video, iHeart and a few other services that I probably won’t use. Would be cool to see a few options for apps that you can program in there, but I’m sure there is a contract and money involved for those apps to be on the remote. Still waiting for that backlit remote, makes me appreciate my xfinity cable remote that lights up when I touch it, so much more. As of now, there is no youtube app on the app screen. That is different from last year but not a game changer for me to be honest since you can still stream directly from your phone when using youtube. Just weird they didn’t add it. With the chromecast option, you can stream a ton of apps to your tv. Watching sports like hockey and basketball they look great with no pixilation. Playing games on PS4 I notice no lag. The tv supports google assistant and alexa and is supposed to soon support apple homekit.
Couple of cool things to note. The watchfree or plutotv option that vizio offers is actually really cool. It wouldn’t make me go out and cancel my cable and I laughed at it the first time I saw it, but I have found myself watching it for quite a while and forgetting that I wasn’t watching the cable I pay for. If you have cut the cord, this is a great option for you. Another cool thing that I just really started playing with is the vizio app. It makes it way easier to change picture settings on the fly without using the remote. You pull up the settings you want to change and you just use your finger to slide the bar over till you get what you want. Really convenient option that I just found.
I know some people have their mind set on Vizio not being up there with the big names like Sony and Samsung but I’ve got to say, Vizio is turning a lot of heads with the specs and picture quality on these new TV’s. I’m sold on it and since last year I’ve been recommending others who are in the market, to take a look at what Vizio is offering and to give them a shot. Don’t believe me? Go check it out for yourself!

5 out of 5The best TV I have ever owned!
By JKhan
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
In short, I am extremely impressed with this TV.
Before this set, I was holding on to my 1080P 3D television as I was not truly impressed by the barrage of 4K televisions enough to upgrade. I then started leaning toward OLED sets, but I didn't feel the bump in picture was truly worth the premium.
This TV was/is worth the jump. The picture is amazing. The "calibrated" mode is a great feature that I wish more TVs had pre-installed. That's what we want!
There are more than enough connections to hook up components and the features and tweaking options are extremely deep. So much customization.
I'm a gamer...no lag noticed.
Blacks are black, and gray is gray. And having support for both HDR10 and Dolby Vision is a joy in itself.
The smart features work well, and load fairly quickly. They also do a great job of "hubbing" content together on the main Vizio page. Not perfect, but a bit less cluttered.
No regrets with this TV.

There are a few negatives that may sway some, so if these matter, make your own call.
The first is the apps. You can't add apps to the smart line-up. Yes, they have advanced casting, but when my mother-in-law is in town, she has no idea how to cast Sling to the TV when she's home alone. Something so simple should be a given on a set of this caliber. I will say that the free content that is provided on the Vizio/Pluto channel does make-up for some of the disappointment. It's just like having cable in a sense.
The second is the sound pass through. I have a Vizio 5.1.2 Atmos soundbar that integrates wonderfully with this TV. Here's the issue: The ARC port on the TV does not pass the Atmos signal to the soundbar, only the supported DTS. So, if you have an Atmos device, say an XBOX One X, it has to be connected directly to the soundbar, and used on a different sound input. So, if you have more than one Atmos device, you'll need either a switch or a receiver to gain full access to your audio. This is silly. The TV has 5 HDMI inputs and none can pass the Atmos signal to the soundbar. Luckily, one device is enough for now, but that is bothersome.

ARC Issues
July 3, 2019
I was having difficulty getting Atmos to pass from my P65-F1 tv to the SB36512-F6 soundbar. A customer service rep suggested I get a certified HDMI cable. I picked up a Rocketfish cable and have had no problems since. If I hadn't purchased the certified HDMI cable I probably would have returned the soundbar. I'm glad someone told be to get the cable bc I love the Vizio TV/Atmos soundbar combination.

I have never in my life bought an appliance until this time that didn’t come with a cord! No mention of it when I purchased that I would need one so if your buying this piece of garbage, be prepared to remove the entire backing , shop for correct prong in this case four prong which I still need to do, very disappointed , I should have been able to take out of box and plug it right in, nope.. so this review is just for that, have no idea how this stove works yet because Of no plug on stove .

This must be your first time buying a kitchen appliance. Ranges never come with cords, nor do dish washers. While it isn't convenient, it is not a good reason to give a product a poor review.

From Bluepoint Games comes a remake of the PlayStation classic, Demon's Souls. Entirely rebuilt from the ground up and masterfully enhanced, this remake introduces the horrors of a fog-laden, dark fantasy land to a whole new generation of gamers. Those who have faced its trials and tribulations before can once again challenge the darkness in amazing visual quality and performance. In his quest for power, the 12th king of Boletaria, King Allant channeled the ancient Soul Arts, awakening a demon from the dawn of time itself, The Old One. With the summoning of The Old One, a colorless fog swept across the land, unleashing nightmarish creatures that hungered for human souls. Those whose souls were stripped from them, lost their minds - left only with the desire to attack the sane that remained. Now Boletaria is cut off from the outside world, and the knights who dare penetrate the deep fog to free the land from its plight are never seen again. As a lone warrior who has braved the baneful fog, you must face the hardest of challenges to earn the title Slayer of Demons and send The Old One back to its slumber.
