Best they've looked since they were released!

Of more recent vintage than the earlier Trek films, these look fantastic in 4K! I' glad they carried over the extras from the previous releases (on the Blu discs only)

Great Show!
on October 11, 2020
Posted by: JP1701
Verified Purchase:Yes
I missed a lot of this series when it aired, but enjoyed it when I saw it. The relationships and interactions between the characters is what pulled me in. You'll quickly forget that many of the characters are puppets, the performances are that good! It's nice to have the whole series (including the Peace Keeper Wars) all in one set!
As with any show originally shot for SD, there are occasional shots that appear to be up-converted. I'm part way through Season 2 and so far they have been few and far between, nothing that would detract from your viewing experience!

I really enjoyed season 2
on December 22, 2019
Posted by: JP1701
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had read many positive and negative reviews when this show launched. I am old enough to remember the premiere of TNG and DS9, both of which were also bashed before they had even started. I picked up season 1, watched it with an open mind and enjoyed it. I looked forward to season 2 when I learned it would feature Christopher Pike and I was not disappointed. We got to learn more about each of the regular characters, and it was great to learn more about Captain Pike. Can't wait for season 3!

I inherited my son's wired Beats headphones, but the cord was broken. Bought this to replace it. Had to shave the plug slightly to get it to fit the port on the headphones, but it works perfectly!

Google Home Mini is a smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant, so you can ask it questions and tell it to do things. Just start with "Ok Google" to enjoy your entertainment, get answers from Google, tackle your day, and control your smart home. Google Home Mini works on its own or you can have a few around the house, giving you the power of Google anywhere."

Thoroughly enjoyed Peter Jackson's Rings Trilogy, couldn't wait for his take on The Hobbit. He didn't disappoint. Needed this to complete my collection of the Extended editions of the films. The extras alone are worth it!

An Enjoyable Movie

Posted by: JP1701
from Boston, MA, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I didn't hear much about this when it was released, but it was recommended to me. I saw it on cable first and really enjoyed it. It's not as flashy as a Star Wars or Star Trek film, there aren't any big space battles or anything. It's more of a mystery story. I recommend it for someone looking for a change of pace in Science Fiction movies.

the product is excellent but,
By rksfgiants from san jose
the product is excellent but, when the headlights are on AUTO mode and you enter a shaded area and the headlight turn on, the CARPLAY apple maps goes dark and you cannot see the screen. I'm Sure this is an issue with my Nissan Frontier and not the system. When I'm Driving on a two lane highway in the mountains I always have my headlights on. This makes using the maps app unusable.

Temporarily Turning off Auto-Dimming
September 11, 2018
When you enter a tunnel and your truck's lights come on, tap the button to the right of the Home key. It brings up a bar at the bottom of the screen. On the left side is an icon with the sun and the moon separated by a "/". Tap that and the radio will return to daytime mode! I use this all the time.

This is a must have show especially the Blu-ray version. If you are a fan of Quantum Leap Well! here you go. My only complaint is they didn’t format this to 16x9. Oh well!

16x9 Formatting
September 7, 2019
The show was shot for TV of the time, which was 4x3. If they formatted the Blu Ray for 16x9, they would have to cut the top and bottom of the image! You can simulate this with the "Zoom" picture setting on your TV to see how much of the image you will lose...

Does this camera do the same thing as the peephole camera or no?

No, this mounts on the outside wall near the door and functions as a doorbell and a camera. The camera detects motion nearby, sends an alert and automatically starts recording.

Free up space on your computer with this Western Digital My Passport portable hard drive. This 4TB drive can handle full system backups, or you can use it to transfer a few select files between computers. The slim design of this Western Digital My Passport portable hard drive makes it easy to carry in a backpack, briefcase or purse.
 

As a lifelong PC user, I'm still learning the world of Mac. Having just recently purchased a Mac, I didn't know if this would be compatible and if I would be able to use this product on both a PC and a Mac. Can this be used for both Mac and PC?

This drive can be used with either a Mac or a PC. It comes formatted to be used with a PC, if you wish to use it with a Mac, it must be reformatted, which wipes all the data. You would not be able to use this drive to move files from a Mac to a PC or vice versa. If you're thinking you might switch back to a PC someday, you'd have to reformat the drive to work with the PC, but you wouldn't have to buy a new drive.
