Great western movie epic!
on April 30, 2021
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
It’s seems like forever since Hollywood has produced a great western movie. This is a really good movie. Set in Texas 5 years after the Civil War it illustrates how difficult life in that era was. A young orphaned girl raised by a Indian tribe is “Saved“ by a war Captain with lots of regrets. He tries to find a family for her but the bond between them grows. In reality she saves him and they find a new life. Great character development with action to keep it interesting. Really good acting from Tom Hanks and Helena Zengel. I’m not a “Western movie“ fan but this is a great movie.

Best Keurig I’ve owned. We owned the original Keurig K Cup Coffee maker and used it for years. This newer Coffee maker has several notable improvements. You can brew 5 different cup sizes, and use it to dispense hot water and it brews ice tea and coffee. If you like your coffee strong you can brew your coffee to taste. It will also brew your own ground coffee with the required filters. It takes 3 minutes to heat the water and a minute to brew a cup. It also has a clock and timer to brew automatically at a set time. Wake up to your cup of coffee already brewed. Great machine,

I purchased this sleeve for a Dell XPS with 17 inch screen. The Dell has a brushed aluminum case that will show scratches easily. This protects my Dell from scratching and dirt. Also it has an external zippered pouch for additional storage. Very good quality meets the need perfectly.

Psychological sci-fi movie
on April 18, 2021
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is movie that is developed on dialog. It will make us think about IA and some of the implications of unbridled egos mixed with technology. If your taste in movies is the mind numbing blowing up as many cars and shooting up everything in sight, this movie is not for you. Some movies are so shallow you can figured out how the movie ends in the first 20 minutes, this is not one of those movies. Never would have guessed how it ends. The visual efforts are superb Academy awards winner. The 4K UHD and ATMOS are excellent. Have watched it several times like it better each time.

Remastered masterpiece
on April 18, 2021
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let’s face it A lot of movies made 35 years ago were filmed with best technology available at that time but are nowhere close to today’s picture and audio quality. The transfer to 4K UHD leaves a lot to be desired in most cases. I was pleasantly surprised with the video quality of Stanley Kubrick’s Vietnam classic. The colors and black level contrast are very good and the noise level is surprisingly good. The soundtrack was disappointing as it is not in ATMOS and of course the aspect ratio is not wide screen. If your a fan of this film I believe the upgrade is worth it. I would not use it as film to show off your system, get something recently made filmed with superior technology.

Docking Station substitute
on April 5, 2021
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
In the past I have always used Dell laptops along with their port replicator docking stations. Place your laptop in the docking station and you have a "desktop computer." Dell has moved away from the docking station port replicators so as an alternative I am using the Hyper Drive 9 Port "Docking Station". The reality is you are plugging in cables for your peripheral devises such as printers, ethernet cables, external speakers and keyboards mouse & power supply etc. It is a cumbersome replacement for what once was an easy way to convert your laptop into a desktop computer. It gets the job done with all of the cables plugged into the Hyperdrive "Docking Station" with only one USB-C plugged into the laptop. My Dell XPS laptop comes supplied with a 130 Watt power supply. The Hyperdrive "Docking Station" supplies only 110 watts of power. My Dell XPS will gives an error message stating the power supply is a slow charger and plug in the factory supplied power supply. Under heavy usage such as Photo or video editing the power supply does not provide enough power and the battery does loose some of it's charge. The hyperdrive is a workaround for what once was a great system.

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.

Great computer
on March 19, 2021
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you’re looking for a laptop computer that is really a desktop computer that you take with you this is it! The 4K UHD touchscreen is the best screen that I’ve ever seen. It would compare favorably or better to the iMac. End it adds touchscreen capability. With the solid-state hard drive and the 10th generation Intel core I 7 processor and 16 GB memory the laptop easily handles normal office and web applications. The Nvidia graphics card handles video and photo editing easily. Almost good enough to be a serious gaming computer. With heavy video intensive applications it does drain down the battery even plugged in. The 130 watch charger is under powered to keep the battery at 100% charge with intense video applications. The sound card provides excellent audio especially with external speakers. I would prefer it had a numeric keyboard but Dell spent the space for speakers instead.

This is my fifth Apple I phone. And this is by far the best phone I’ve ever owned! It is considerably faster than the I phone It replaced and 5G is yet to come to my area. The battery life is excellent with heavy usage throughout the day it is still at 70% charge at the. End of the day. The video quality and camera are excellent! Well worth the money and the upgrade!

What you can't see can hurt you. Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss (Us, Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale) stars in a terrifying modern tale of obsession inspired by Universal's classic monster character. Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist, Cecilia Kass (Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding, aided by her sister (Harriet Dyer, NBC's The InBetween), their childhood friend (Aldis Hodge, Straight Outta Compton) and his teenage daughter (Storm Reid, HBO's Euphoria). But when Cecilia's abusive ex (Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House) commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia's sanity begins to unravel as she desperately tries to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see. Jason Blum, our current-day master of the horror genre, produces The Invisible Man for his Blumhouse Productions. The Invisible Man is written, directed and executive produced by Leigh Whannell, one of the original conceivers of the Saw franchise who most recently directed Upgrade and Insidious Chapter 3.

Psychological thriller!
on March 19, 2021
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have to admit that I hesitated in buying this movie because I thought it would just be another remake of the classic HG Wells story. I would consider this a reinvention or re-interpretation of the original story. The movie is far more intense then I expected and there are numerous unexpected twists and turns in the plot. It kept my full attention until the very end. Directing, acting, and special effects are very good. The 4K UHD video quality is superb, and the movie is mixed in Dolby Atmos 11 channel surround sound. In the first 30 seconds of the movie you are truly surrounded in sound. It is obvious from the very start the sound is going to be excellent and they take full advantage of it with special effects. So I will have to join the hype and highly recommend this movie it’s very entertaining!

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.

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.
