![The Green Knight - 4K Blu-Ray [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/82db2b12-296c-4949-9ab8-70da53e3089a.jpg)
One Christmas in Camelot, the revels were interrupted by a hulking, emerald-skinned knight (Ralph Ineson), who dared anyone present to lay a blow on him... as long as he got to strike back a year later. The king's impetuous nephew Gawain (Dev Patel) met the challenge-and after the intruder improbably survived, faced a fateful journey to meet his end of the bargain. David Lowery's stylish, subversive take on the Arthurian tale co-stars Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sean Harris. 130 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Nothing "wow" but great

Verified Purchase:Yes
A great movie and a solid 4k transfer. I felt I didn't get wow'd by the 4k/HDR, but at least they didn't mess it up like what happens a lot to time. Looks like a great, modern rendition quality wise.

I got these for my wife and she loves them but actually even the smaller fit-size is still too big for my wife. I wish they had even one step lower. If you are small or getting them for a youth, just be aware.

I paid $35

Verified Purchase:Yes
I paid $35 for my wife to rewatch one of her classic favorites but she still hasn't watched it. Not the movie's fault but my own, I guess. But typically drawn cartoons do now work well in 4K as they show too much detail.

Overall
2 out of 5
2 out of 5I do not recommend this soundbar.
By CSmith
Ok so this soundbar handles eARC in a very weird way. My HTPC and its Nvidia Console detected the TV instead of the receiver even though the HTPC was directly connected the soundbar. It's as if it was passing through the sound via eARC and then back down again as sound was only stereo. So it really doesn't process sound when a HDMI device is directly connected to it. Very weird. This is unacceptable for a $500 soundbar

No eArc
December 21, 2020
Not sure this mades a difference for you or if you just made a typo, but from everything I've read, this soundbar doesn't have eArc capabilities - just regular arc. Being that it can't decode Atmos or DTS HD, there's also no reason for it to have it, unless you are trying to use eArc to pass-through to your TV. But it can still passthrough Dolby Vision and HDR10+ through regular arc anyways so....
If regular Arc is giving you problems, just run it through the optical port. Since it's max capabilities are Dolby Digital and regular DTS, you are still providing it the max info it can decode through optical. Also, most modern equipment should still be able to somehow turn on/off and adjust the volume on the soundbar without needing arc. I can do this through both my Vizio TV and my Fire Cube without any additional programming. I had similar problems before with this soundbar and a Vizio soundbar when running my Fire Cube through the soundbar into the TV with arc. So on my end, I don't think it's a soundbar problem. But I have no advantage sweating it out - just switched to optical.
