Timeless classic in 4K UHD
on April 11, 2023

It's been 30 years since I've watched these movies. Wow what a lot of fun to see them again in 4K UHD. I was really surprised how well the video upconverted to the higher resolution.

Great movie collection

The Bourne series of movies has always been an action-packed CIA spy series. I have watched these movies years ago but never all in succession. I have really got more of the story line and how each move builds on the previous movies by watching them all in a series. the 4K UHD video is very good considering when these movies were made.

In 1949, Ensign Jesse L. Brown (Jonathan Majors)-the first African-American Naval officer to earn pilot wings-reported for service on the aircraft carrier Leyte. The strong bond he'd forge with newly assigned wingman Thomas Hudner (Glen Powell) as the ship was ordered to the Korean Peninsula would be repeatedly, and ultimately fatefully, tested in the North Korean skies. Earnest and fact-based battle opus also stars Christina Jackson, Joe Jonas, Thomas Sadoski, Serinda Swan. 138 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Great Movie
on April 11, 2023
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
As an aviation and military genre movie enthusiast I really enjoyed this movie. They make a point to bring out the racial tensions in that period, but the bonds developed by combat and having to trust and depend on your fellow brothers transcends skin color. All that serve and are wounded in combat will bleed red regardless of skin color. Great movie!

Great Movie

What a great movie remade in UHD and surround sound. Older movies that are remastered to 4K UHD but not shot in that resolution in my opinion are as good as new material. They did a good job of upscaling this movie to UHD. If you don't already own this movie and you have the 4KUHD it's a great value.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Good movie with excellent ATMOS audio and UDH video. The picture & Audio are state of the art. If you have a true ATMOS system, you will appreciate the Audio. To me the movie moves kind of slowly. I had to watch it twice to really get the point of the movie. It is great start to a sequel. Good entertainment.

Must have for Celine Fans
on August 1, 2022
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
For Celine Dion fans this is the best you can get short of seeing her in Vegas. Filmed at her Las Vegas concert. I was expecting more of her singing with an orchestra and less production. But now seeing the video & considering it was shot in Vegas the production is to be expected. Dancers a plenty and people floating across the stage etc. I was hoping for more of a straight up concert. I am sure I sure I am in the minority as most people like and expect the big production. The Audio & video quality are top notch.

AudioQuest has poor service
on August 1, 2022
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a replacement for an AudioQuest Ocean HDMI cable I purchased less than two years ago. I was having issue with the Audio and Video cutting out from my Oppo UDP-205 UHD Audiophile disc player. I thought I was having an issue with the disc player, but I spoke with Ray my local Magnolia Rep & he recommended I swap cables. That was the solve but I was surprised it was a cable problem as AudioQuest brags they are the best made. I called AudioQuest and explained the problem & was informed it was covered under warranty. They e-mailed an RMA form & I sent it back. AudioQuest never responded again! So much for warranty service. Ray recommended I upgrade to the Carbon HDMI cable assuring me I would hear a difference. I was skeptical that a cable could improve audio & video but to my amazement there is a discernable difference especially in the Audio. I listened to some specific musically demanding concert Blue Rays with the old cable and then switched to the new cable & listened again to get an A to B comparison. The added silver in the wiring definitely increases the signal strength. The sound is crisper more energetic & the bass has more punch. The highs have more definition and I hear details in the music that I have not heard before. Made a believer out me!

With the included wall mount, what is the maximum horizontal distance off the center of the wall mount that the TV can be mounted? The reason I ask is that where I want the center of the TV to be positioned is not directly between two wall studs.

The Mount and the center of the TV are aligned. When first mounting the TV, the mount allows the TV to be pulled a distance from the wall enabling HDMI and power cords to be plugged in. The power cord is non detachable. After that the TV is pushed straight back again the wall. there is no ability to shift the TV left to right. I would not mount it without hitting a stud.

Can you mount center surround speaker to the bottom?

No, I don't see that is possible. After the TV is mounted flush to the wall the screen only 2 inches or so from the wall and there is nothing to attach a speaker to the TV.

Does the G5 83 inch TV come with a detachable power cord? So that an upgraded power cord could be used in its place.

The power cord is very large gauge wire I am sur =mor than adequate for the TV's power requirements. It is not detachable.

When mounted, how far does the tv extend from the wall

The TV mounts flat against the wall, it is only an inch or so from the wall. It comes with its own mount. Don't let anyone sell you a mount. It is not needed.

The Dell XPS 17 laptop delivers powerful performance in an incredibly thin form factor. The stunning 4-sided InfinityEdge UHD+ display enables an amazing screen to body ratio (93.7%) and a 17-inch screen in a 15-inch size form factor. In fact, it~s smaller than 48% of 15-inch laptops*. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics feature unique dual opposite outlet fans, that increase fan airflow by approximately 30% and drive cooling airflow in both directions, resulting in more airflow overall and improved skin temperatures*. A 100% Adobe RGB display enables you to edit your videos with confidence in their color. 100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining process. A high precision, machine-milled aluminum chassis creates an elegant design with high build quality that~s stronger and stiffer than magnesium or plastic. A premium 17" touch laptop with a thin and light design.
 

Does the 17" screen model not have numeric keypad?

It does not have a numeric keyboard. Dell spent the available real estate on speakers. I would’ve preferred numeric keyboard and a traditional left and right click mouse which it does not have.

Where I want to mount this shelf, the studs are 12" apart. Will this shelf only mount to 16" spaced studs or are there multiple holes for the mounting?

It is designed to be mounted on any wall. If your mounting on drywall with 16" centers it designed for that, but there are mounting holes on each side of the mounting bracket towards the center of the unit that will allow to mount on studs closed than 16". I could not swear with 100% it will work with 12" centers stud to stud but I'm reasonably confident the mounting holes are close enough to work for 12" center to center studs.
