Got this converter to connect my Panasonic VCR player to my Sony XBR65X900F tv and it works great!
I didn't expect 4K quality from my 280i VHS tapes but still I think that the picture quality looks smooth and also noticed an improvement in sound. If your HD or 4k tv doesn't have an RCA input, this is a great alternative that I hardly recommend.

It's soooo hard for a movie franchise to keep its intensity and all the ingredients that made a 1st. chapter a big movie hit. That is not the case for John Wick. As crazy as it might sound but I think Chapter 3 is even better than Chapter 2 in something and the addition of Halle Berry's character is stoning!!!.
Great sequel...Waiting for the inevitable John Wick Ch. 4!!!

The best Lightning to USB cable for i-Phones.

Obviously there's a lot of (cheaper) alternatives on the market for Apple products, especially charging cords, that works pretty well but some of them break easily or stop working properly after some time of use (in my experience). I'd rather to pay a little more for the original quality and void issues in the future. There's some products that you can opt to use generic brands, mostly because its low price, but Apple devices are some of the exceptions, for Apple devices I will highly recommend Apple accessories.

Great protection case for i-Phone!

This is one of the best protector cases for i-Phone, specially for a teenager's phone. Pretty strong built quality, great thick bumpers around the screen and camera that covers the back camera very good, definitely increased the width of phone and feels bulky for me but it offers a great protection. I love the dust cover for the charging port since this becomes a big issue if you don't clean your i-Phone pretty often, specially teenagers. A little pricey but it worth the money.

Great movie, awesome image and sound quality 4K/BR

I saw it when it was available for streaming and I got captivated with this movie.
This is a high level action movie with epic bloody battles.
Great story, great character development, awesome visuals FX (specially this 4K blue-ray version, one of the best image and sound quality films).
This Mankind vs. Alien Queen war from the old ages based on one of the Seven Wonders of the World film is just Amazing! Can probably answer so many questions...with no sex scenes it's great to watch with the entire family.

John Wick Rocks!
Besides I'm a big fan of Keanu Reeves and almost all of his movies, John Wick (Ch.1 &2) is one of my favorites action films.
Chapter 2 goes further into his "working on it" retirement plan, but literally explodes about 5 minutes into the film. The entire movie is jam-packed with non-stop action. Waiting for Chapter 3 to add it to my collection!

My hands on Western Digital hard drives and accessories. I've been using WD hard drives for years, first with Windows PC and now with MAC, no tech skills required, just plug & play and you're ready to go.

Note that this version is ready for MAC OS only and verify that your OS vers. is compatible as specified.

Good movie, really bad image quality Blue-ray.

I'm a big fan of the MI franchise and something I love of every movie is the tech evolution, the missions and the action among other things. In my opinion Fallout is not as great as the previous ones but still very enjoyable to watch. Now technically speaking, I'm dissapointed with the image quality of this blu-ray, isn't the best. I'm not sure if this was a purposed choice for the movie to look so grainy or if the transfer process wasn't done properly but either way it doesn't looks that great. I'm wondering if the 4K UHD blue-ray version have the same mediocre image quality which it will be awful considering the price of the 4K blue-ray version. Good thing I got the b-y disc on special for $9.99, basically the dvd price, no bad at all.

5 out of 5Excellent 4K/HDR Pass-Through HDMI Switch!

Hardly needed a solution to hook up my Apple TV4K streamer and my 4K Ultra-UHD Sony Blu-ray player to my new JBL 9.1 ATMOS Sound bar system which I love but unfortunately it comes with only one HDMI input and my tv lacks the eARC capability, so after trying a couple cheaper models, I found this Insignia HDMI switch and it really does the job. It's a plug 'n play device so it was really easy to connect it to my Soundbar. Perfectly transfer 4K HDR and Dolby Vision video signals to my TV through my Soundbar and I can enjoy Dolby ATMOS and DTH:X multichannel audio from both players. Doesn't come with a remote, which personally I don't find necessary because I have to reach my TV stand when I want to play a movie on my Blue-ray player then I change the input right after I'm done and it stays switched to the last selection (I usually keep it switched to my Apple 4KTV).
No "Handshake" issues at all, but *NOTE* that it takes a couple seconds to the AV system and TV to receive signals when you change inputs, something pretty normal according to my researches.
Cons: None at the moment.
I've been using it every day in over a month without a problem.

**UPDATE: Handshake issues with JBL 9.1 ATMOS S.B.
January 28, 2021
Ok so, this is an update to my previous review. The Ingsinia 3-port HDMI Switch did work with no issues for the first couple months that I used it to hook up my APTV4K and my Sony UBP-X-700 4K Blue-ray player to my JBL 9.1 ATMOS Sound bar.
Now I want to clarify that I don't think this is an issue with the switch itself, I think this is a problem with JBL 9.1 ATMOS soundbar, after I started experiencing Handshake issues between the APTV4K and my 4K Blue-ray palyer sonnected to the sound bar through the switch, I tested the switch connected to a one of the 4K HDMI ports in my Sony X900F tv for a week or so and I didn't have any handshake problems betweek both media players, the TV recognized the device that was on, either the APTV4K or the Blue-ray player and it work perfectly, unfortunately this didn't help me because I couldn't get the ATMOS sound effects, main reason why I got the soundbar.
I did a lot of research trying to find some information about it, before I returned the Switch, but it seems that nobody have used it the with the JBL 9.1 ATMOS bar so, any input will be appreciated, otherwise "JLB 9.1 ATMOS Soundbar Owners, be advise that it won't work properly."

This JBL BAR 9.1-channel soundbar system has detachable speakers with rechargeable batteries for flexible placement, and Dolby Atmos technology delivers quality surround sound.
Can the JBL 9.1 be directly connected to the back of an Apple 4K TV box and will that setup allow for Dolby Atmos to be decoced?
Absolutely! That's how I have my set up: Apple TV 4K to the HDMI IN of the JBL 9.1 and HDMI Out from the JBL 9.1 to the ARC/eARC HDMI IN of your TV.
Don't forget that you have to change the audio format to Dolby ATMOS on the Apple TV 4K. I hope this help.

Would like the rear speakers in the rear of my room . i Know they have a charging port what voltage cubes chargers to plug into Them do i need. Will rapid phone chargers work or should it be the slow charger. Or what charger would you Recommend THANK YOU
A Fast Charger will work but you don't really need that, any standard charger block will supply enough power. I'm using a couple of extra standard iPhone blocks and they keeps my rear surround speakers charged all the time.
