6 Classics in New 4K
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: Peter
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a huge purchase and it exceeded all expectations. Every 4K restoration on this set was done perfectly. Lawrence of Arabia looks more epic than ever. The 4K clarity and HDR shines in every bit of detail and frame. They had to split the movie into 2 discs because of how big the file is and it shows. The amount of work done is grand. Gandhi was also split into two discs and that looked just as good too. The rest can be applied to all other 4 movies. This set is worth picking up, the packaging is outstanding with each movie coming with their own case. It also included a very well designed booklet breaking down each movie on the set. Big thumbs up for this one.

Anime Classic in 4K
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: Peter
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ghost in the Shell is an anime that I grew up on. I grew up on the original 96 movie as well as the Standalone Complex show that aired weekly on Toonami/Adult Swim. This new 4K transfer is very good. Usually a lot of animes or cartoons receive very digital looking restorations, but this one kept a good amount of the grain. The only thing that held back was some softness from digital alterations. Regardless of that, it's a very good upgrade from the old Blu-ray. I bought this in steelbook packaging and I love it. It's very well packaged and the art design was worth every dollar. I recommend this if you are a fan, it's worth picking up.

Kirk Douglas Classic in 4K
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: Peter
Verified Purchase:Yes
Spartacus is a gladiator-like 3 hour epic directed by Stanley Kubrick that Kirk Douglas was famously known for. This new 4K restoration looks refreshing. It's as if I am watching an entire new movie for the first time. The clarity is amazing and I love the steelbook design that was made for the 4K. It's a long, but rewarding movie that's worth every 4K frame. I highly recommend it.

A Dark Psychological War Classic
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: Peter
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love war movies and Robert De Niro is one of my favorite actors. I heard a lot about The Deer Hunter particularly about the Russian Roulette scenes and how intense they were. They did not disappoint and the 4K resolution made everything better. Some times the lighting was a bit dark, but 4K clarity is very good throughout. It's not a typical war movie, in fact there is not a whole lot of the war present in the movie. The aftermath does major effect on the character's psych and that's where the war continues.

Beautiful Steelbook and Intense Movie!
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: Peter
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this steelbook, it's very affordable and it looks very nice. The movie is also an adrenaline ride. There is a relentless intensity to the movie where the speed of the drumming and the instructor stressed me out. The music is also outstanding. For this price, worth picking up even if you have never seen the movie!

War done in a unique way.
on June 7, 2020
Posted by: Peter
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a great war movie done in what appears to be one take. The 4K is very detailed throughout. I did not see any blocking or banding. It's not the loudest war movie, but the Atmos sound was effective when it needed to be. The steelbook has a nice gloss and title debossing.

Good Enough
on March 12, 2020
Posted by: Peter
Verified Purchase:Yes
There is not really a huge difference in upgrade from Blu-ray to 4K, but 4K is obviously where it looks the best. The downside with 4K is they attempted to create a new digital look where all the previous film grain is removed. Doing so, this removed a lot of detail that could have improved with 4K if left alone.

One of the Best Looking Racing Films
on February 16, 2020
Posted by: Peter
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a great 4K disc, it almost looked equivalent to native 4K discs. I couldn't tell it was upscaled, I had to look it up and I am pretty blown away by the amount of detail and work put on this. HDR made it even better when all those vehicles looked vibrant. The sound is great, it puts you right into the POV of Ken Miles and never lets go. A very nice steelbook design as well, the extra $5 was worth it. Pick this one up if you love seeing fast cars in 4K goodness.

Get hooked on every lifelike scene with this 49-inch Samsung smart TV. Its Ultra HD resolution displays elaborate image details, and its Motion Rate technology keeps fast-action movie and gaming scenes crisp and lag-free. The 4K HDR Extreme feature of this Samsung smart TV enhances picture depth and contrast for realism.

A Good 4K TV
on February 16, 2020
Posted by: Peter
Verified Purchase:Yes
This isn't an OLED or high end 4K TV, but it does offer great picture and audio for its budget. If you're not big on sound systems, the audio from the TV is good and clear enough. There's no Dolby Vision, but the HDR works well. Picture quality is always clear and sharp. There's a good range of apps, but you may want to pick up newer versions if you're looking for an updated library of apps. The apps for Movies Anywhere or Apple TV are no where to be found on the app store. So you would need a media device something like Apple TV to attain those apps. Overall, very solid, I've had this TV for 2 years and not many problems so far.

Beautiful Looking Disc
on February 16, 2020
Posted by: Peter
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of the more natural looking discs, full of grain and strong detail. HDR gives a wide range of vibrant and bright colors. The sound was very clear. Beautiful aesthetics overall, definitely pick up if you are a Paul Thomas Anderson fan or like period dramas. Bring on the other Paul Thomas Anderson movies on 4K!
