Too Much for 4K
on January 28, 2022
Posted by: JSBoom
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great movie and especially the songs sound good. But 4k shows a little too much detail to wear you can see any tiny mistake done in the drawings. 4k much be too much detail for these to handle.

Great Movie but not made for 4k
on January 28, 2022
Posted by: JSBoom
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great movie but I don't think classically drawn cartoons are really fit for 4k, as they kind of look worse when you see every bit of detail in the drawing.

Amazing Audio
on January 28, 2022
Posted by: JSBoom
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great movie that looks great quality, wise. But the really great thing is the audio on this one with all of the songs. If you've gotten accustomed to typical, compressed streaming-audio, this is going to remind you why CD audio was so great.

Might as well close it out.

You might as well close out this amazing trilogy and get the final film. Brightness runs a little dark and this movie has a lot of low-end subwoofer rumbling, which I think most people buying this will like.

Christopher Nolan steps back into the director's chair for this sequel to Batman Begins, which finds the titular superhero coming face to face with his greatest nemesis - the dreaded Joker. Christian Bale returns to the role of Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal takes over the role of Rachel Dawes (played by Katie Holmes in Batman Begins), and Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger dons the ghoulishly gleeful Joker makeup previously worn by Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero. Just as it begins to appear as if Batman, Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman), and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) are making headway in their tireless battle against the criminal element, a maniacal, wisecracking fiend plunges the streets of Gotham City into complete chaos.

This works great and came at a great price before Christmas. I think it is the top rated tablet in its size/price range. So unless you're looking to get an Ipad or something.

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.

Does the subwoofer have its own volume control?
