Significant video/audio improvement in 4k version
on December 14, 2019
Posted by: Stephen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Improved audio and video in the 4k 'Theatrical Cut' over previously released blu-ray releases of that version.
It is too bad Universal did not choose to do the 'Extended Cut' version in 4K, (included in this package only as 1080p Blu-Ray), with its 40 some minutes of additional footage. I suspect had they done so it would have been a better marketing decision on their part, (especially as Arrow Video had just released an excellent Blu-Ray package which featured the 'Extended Cut' I think a bit less than a year before this one from Universal), and likely would have resulted in more sales overall.
Still and all, this one is worth it at the relatively low price if one has not seen this film too many times already.

Best quality 4k scan and master
on October 27, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've watched this film several times over the years on Bluray. I have to say that this new 4k master, scanned from the actual film the movie was shot with originally, is really superb and totally worth having no matter how many times you may have seen the movie already.
(I bought Gladiator 4k at the same time and the same is true about that film, so much so I wrote fundamentally the same review for it as well.)

Good 4k quality

Overacting by everyone, especially Branagh. Still, great visuals and a compelling enough mystery, even if a less nuanced treatment than previous versions.

Can it scan and print ledger size paper

No. Maximum size for the mf743cdw for printing is 8.5" x 14". Some Epson's and a couple of Brother printeres accomodate 11 x 17 but don't recall if any or those are laser printers. I was looking for ledger size capability too when I purchased my Canon mf743, but since I so rarely need to print that size I chose instead the better quality mf743 to replace my previous printer and figured I farm out the occasional 11 x 17 stuff to a commercial service. I'm very happy with the choice.
