Great Movie - Great Format

Deadpool 2 is a great way to experience both Dolby Atmos sound and 4K HDR Visuals. There are some fun bonus things if you're into that. I tend to never get around to watching those kinds of things, but if you have a good 4K HDR TV and especially if you have a Dolby Atmos sound system, then this is the version of the movie you need to own.

Every 27 years, the otherwise nondescript town of Derry, Maine, finds itself stalked by a monstrous, sewer-lurking circus clown who lures trusting children to unholy demises. With the local adults powerless to act, one local 13-year-old (Jaeden Lieberher)-who lost his kid brother to the creature-bands his misfit friends together for a pursuit that confronts them with their greatest fears. Blockbuster big-screen take on the Stephen King classic co-stars Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, and Bill Skarsg~rd as Pennywise. 135 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Two Words - DOLBY VISION

This isn't a review of the movie - if you're considering buying this you already know you love the movie. This is a review of this specific format of the movie - 4K HD Ultra Blu-Ray. This is not just standard HDR, but includes the Dolby Vision format. (You must have a DV player and DV TV in order to view this format.) Dobly Vision enhances the visuals of this dark movie (there's a pun there if you think about it) and makes it an even better experience at home. On my OLED TV, this is amazing. Additionally, if you have an Atmos Sound system, this supports that as well. Definitely recommended version of this new classic horror film!

The Best TV Gets Even Better
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: hollywoodfrodo
from Lakewood, CA
So far, I am completely blown away by this TV. I thought my 2016 LG OLED TV was good...and it was. But they have really taken it to a new level with the improvements over the last 3 years. The overall picture quality of OLED can not be beat - that's long been the consensus amongst us audio/video-philes. But the fact that they were able to take the best and make it even better...well, it's nothing short of amazing.
The truest blacks you will ever see on a TV, now with even brighter brights and better HDR including Dolby Vision. It's a truly breathtaking visual experience and let's face it - when you buy a TV the #1 most important thing is the picture quality. Not only is the OLED screen itself a site to behold, but LG has included all the settings you could possibly need to fine tune it exactly to your taste. The first thing I would suggest is turning off TruMotion - this is what causes the "soap opera effect" that makes movies and TV shows look like they were filmed using cheap home video cameras. Although for some crazy reason every TV manufacturer ships TV's with this type of feature enabled by default so I think a lot of people just think it's the way modern TV's are supposed to look. It's not! Turn it off! The other settings can be set to your taste and there are plenty of places online to get expert suggestions on those as well. But suffice it to say, this TV has every setting you could possibly want to get the best picture on the best tv in the world! This TV also has a great processor that does some amazing upscaling. Our regular Cable TV shows never looked so good.
But LG didn't stop at that. The "Smart" aspect of this TV has me as a gadget geek just absolutely giddy! This is also a huge improvement over my 2016 model. The remote is much improved and sits nicely in your hand and works as easy as a mouse with a computer. And when you press the mic button, magic happens - you can search for a show or movie and LG will display everywhere it's available that you have connected to - Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu - as well as all the places you can buy or rent it - Fandango, Google PLay, Vudu. No more switching from app to app trying to find it - LG does it for you! But that is just the beginning - this TV also has the Google Assistant built in. Check the weather - or your calendar - or turn off your smart lights all from your TV remote. (And Alexa integration is supposed to be coming soon via a software update.) And the way it displays responses is brilliant - it doesn't take over your whole screen. You can still have your show or game going - it just shows on the bottom or the side. It's awesome.
Physically, this TV has been improved with no ugly speaker grill anywhere to be seen - just a super thin bezel that is barely noticeable. The TV itself is almost paper thin except in the lower back which holds all the processing power, but even that is much smaller than it was on my old OLED. The HDMI side ports are easy to get to but tucked far enough back so that you won't see things poking out of the side of the TV when plugged in which is great.
This is by far the best TV I have ever owned. Previously my 2016 LG OLED was the best, but this one has an even better OLED screen and a far superior user interface. Needless to say I am BLOWN away by this amazing OLED TV and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for the best of the best! If I have any regrets it's only that I couldn't get the larger version! Next time...

Hard to beat for the Price for most people

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a power user or want a typically customisable Android tablet, this isn't gonna be for you. But if you just want a basic tablet that will do all the things you usually do on a tablet and has some extra super cool features, then this is an excellent tablet at an impossible to beat price! I got this for my mom for her Birthday. I did sideload Google Play store so I could install Gmail and other Google apps she uses. It has all the stuff she needs now - besides Gmail, Netflix, Web Browser, Google Voice Texting, etc. It's perfect for her and it's very fast getting around. Works great! Also it has Alexa built in and can be used in Show Mode as an Echo Show device - very cool since I had previously bought my parents a couple of echo devices and they are somewhat used to using Alexa. Nothing else comes close to this quality without jumping up an extra couple hundred of dollars which makes this one of the best buys in Android tablets out there.

Great addition to any Roku

I was annoyed that while my Roku Remote could turn on my TV and control the volume I couldn't use it to change inputs or do a few other things. But with this little guy, that's no longer a problem. I can do everything I need to do with one remote and no longer need to worry about keeping up with the TV remote. Definitely worth the small investment for the extra functionality.

I own Chromecast, FireTV Stick, and Roku. Roku is bar far the easiest to use and set up. It has the best interface and this one in particular has all the high end features you want. It's a great device and if you're in the market for a streaming device, then you need not look any further. Buy this one - you won't be disappointed.

Display and recharge your Fire HD 10 tablet with this Amazon show mode charging dock. The adjustable stand provides a convenient viewing position, and it comes with a USB cable and power adapter for versatile connectivity. The included case perfectly fits your tablet and is easy to attach and remove from this magnetic Amazon show mode charging dock.

3 out of 5Good idea but fails in execution
By APFLORES413
from Los Angeles
I love my Fire 10. Using Alexa on it has been a joy. The problem was, I was using the Amazon Folio Case and it is not ideal for certain table tops. So, in comes the Show Mode Dock for your Fire Tablet. I was intrigued at first and after using it for a week, I was really disappointed at the execution.
The design is great. You save room on your table top and the base is very sturdy for a tablet the size of the Fire 10. The shell that comes with the Show Mode can be used as another thin case when you decide to take your Fire in your hands.
Where I have issues is that there are tiny magnets at the bottom where you slide the shell onto the base. This is where it charges your Fire Tablet. It is also very easy to knock it off the charge. This happened a lot as everyone in my house would bump into the table it was resting on.
My biggest issue was that the Fire has a really bad battery life to begin with, having it constantly plugged into the Dock for charging would kill the battery even more. I noticed at least a 25% fast drain on my battery since I purchased this.
Again, I love the idea but not a good idea for your Fire Tablet. I recommend just using your tablet AS A TABLET.

This is not based on fact...
April 16, 2019
The comment "having it constantly plugged into the Dock for charging would kill the battery even more" is based on old school battery technology from 10 years ago. Today's Lithium Ion batteries actually do better staying charged than not and having the tablet constantly charging should have no affect on the overall battery life, at least more than 1-5% tops over the course of a couple of years.

Where to get replacement Aux to USB-C Cord for using case as Transmitter? Have tried many standard USC-C to Aux cords and they do not work and LG website doesn't have them and their customer service knows nothing about this cord.
