The 2022 Hisense 85A76H includes Wide Color Gamut to increase the color spectrum and improve overall color saturation from everything you watch! FilmMaker Mode reproduces movie content the way the director originally intended and adding Game Mode Plus with variable refresh rate at 4K 60Hz and auto low latency mode keeps the A7 series at pace with next-generation game consoles. The A7 series also uses DTS Virtual:X audio technology and Chromecast built-in for fuller audio and video casting capabilities. These advancements are available in all sizes and position the 85A7H as the ~goto~ Hisense television for the perfect ~big~ 4K fit..

The tangled roster of characters includes hit man odd couple Vincent and Jules (John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson), coke-sniffing mobster's wife Mia (Uma Thurman), and crooked boxer Butch (Bruce Willis). With Harvey Keitel, Ving Rhames, Maria de Medeiros, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Christopher Walken. 154 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, French Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles English, French; featurettes; trivia. Two-disc set.

Three-disc set includes Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (2011) A research scientist (James Franco) tests a drug on a group of chimpanzees, greatly increasing their intelligence before he's forced to put them all down. That is, all but Caesar (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance), one of the test subjects' offspring, whose enhanced brain capacity enables him to lead his fellow primates in a violent revolution against humanity. Provocative reboot of the classic sci-fi film series also stars Freida Pinto, John Lithgow. 105 min. C/Rtg PG-13 Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014) Ten years after a devastating virus wiped out much of humanity, a small band of survivors in San Francisco has established an uneasy peace with chimpanzee Caesar (a motion-captured Andy Serkis who also supplies his voice) and his community of intelligent apes who live in the nearby Muir Woods. But co-existence may be ultimately out of reach as members of both species seem bound and determined to make war. Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell co-star in this hit sequel. 130 min. C/Rtg PG-13 War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017) The third chapter in the rebooted sci-fi film franchise finds ape leader Caesar's (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance) forces locked in a desperate conflict with the Colonel (Woody Harrelson), a ruthless human whose army also includes a group of traitorous primates. As the war reaches it's apex, the virus that decimated much of humanity begins to cause some of the remaining survivors to slowly devolve into more primitive creatures. With Steve Zahn, Karin Konoval, Amiah Miller.
