Terrific value to replace the Whirlpool fridge’s water filter. It’s comforting to know that the water dispenser is pure and well rid of contaminants.

Splendid upgrade of these classics
on October 26, 2020
Posted by: DouginDallas
Verified Purchase:Yes
While it’s questionable to assert the four films included here represent the ideal choices for a 4K upgrade, since the technical limitations of the source material cannot make sound and picture quality pristine by modern standards (especially with regard to The Birds), nevertheless none of the films has ever looked or sounded better. It presents Psycho with some additional footage that was initially trimmed, and supposedly there is a replacement plan for that disc when initial pressings inadvertently failed to include the original mono sound mix, which sticklers for authenticity will likely prefer. The repurposed surround mix, while rather subtle, sounds fine regardless. Vertigo especially benefits from this newer scan. All in all, a must have set, with hopes for additional Hitchcock remasterings to come.

The one to own
on September 11, 2020
Posted by: DouginDallas
Verified Purchase:Yes
Even if you already have a previous release, this incredibly impressive new scan is far and away the one you’ll want to watch from now on. It’s hard to imagine how sound and picture could be improved on, given any limitations inherent to the original source, and it probably didn’t look any better the first day of release 45 years ago.

Worthy version, great extras
on September 11, 2020
Posted by: DouginDallas
Verified Purchase:Yes
This film (hard to believe it’s a 40th anniversary) at the time of its release was a pioneer in the pun-laden genre of farcical take offs of disaster movies, and the silliness is infectious and remains a high point in hilarity at more than a laugh a minute. A great collectible steel book worthy of a place in your library.

Excellent Value
on August 18, 2020
Posted by: DouginDallas
Verified Purchase:Yes
After owning several Echo devices, it was decided that this model with its ability for audio/video connection would be great for connecting with my mother-in-law during her forced isolation in the retirement facility due to Covid restrictions. The ability to do video communication is a blessing and far easier for her to manage than attempts at telephone face time connections. Highly recommended.

Writer/director Taika Waititi (director of THOR RAGNAROK and HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE) brings his signature style of humor and pathos to his latest film, JOJO RABBIT, a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis as Jojo) whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. In spite of his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Waititi), Jojo confronts his blind nationalism.

Outstanding rekease
on August 18, 2020
Posted by: DouginDallas
Verified Purchase:Yes
Oscar Winner for best Original Screenplay, this uniquely clever, beautifully performed film is a refreshing change from run of the mill action flicks or vapid cookie cutter comedies. The 4K picture and audio are near faultless, and while maybe not to everyone’s taste, those who give in to its whimsy and originality should be pleasingly entertained.

Extraordinary quality 4K
on August 5, 2020
Posted by: DouginDallas
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Spartacus remastered and restored version, in a steel book exclusive to Best Buy no less for those into collecting such things, is a spectacular example of the potential that 4K video offers to the home viewing experience. While it still cannot rival seeing it in a large screen theater, as I was fortunate enough to do a few years back at the Seattle Cinerama, it is nonetheless incredibly impressive on my Sony Z9D 65 inch set. Add the robust surround sound, and sit back and enjoy this classic looking probably as good or better than it did in 1960.

Enjoy movies and other streaming content with this Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player. Built-in Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity allow for media to be streamed in high quality, while a super quick start mode minimizes fuss during use. This Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player has two HDMI outputs for simultaneous use with multiple screens.
I noticed there’s no display of movie run time or anything on the front of the player. Is there a way to turn on a display on the front of the player?
Only at Best BuyEnjoy versatile audio with this Insignia all-in-one stereo shelf system. It has an FM radio for listening to your favorite stations, and its Bluetooth connectivity lets you wirelessly sync with compatible devices. Listen privately via the headphone jack on this Insignia all-in-one stereo shelf system, which has 20W RMS left and right channels for immersive surround sound.
I have found that the wire antenna is not powerful enough but am having trouble finding another antenna that has the unusual connection on the rear of the radio. Has anyone found a alternative antenna that works well?
Any F connector (round with flush pin that pushes onto the round connector in back) will also work, not just the odd shaped connector that is supplied (though this one was sufficient for my reception area to receive classical WRR in Dallas, really the only station I was interested in). If BB doesn’t carry one, the usual online suspects will offer ones of greater length, though even those can be problematic depending on your distance from transmission towers. AM isn’t an issue since this unit doesn’t provide an AM band.

Why can I not get the Radio or the CD player to come up on the screen? Tried several times? The time was simple to get.
The input description should appear according to what is selected. Press the power button. If radio is chosen the station number should appear after it reads FM briefly; CD, BT (Bluetooth), Line In, USB, all appear sequentially by pressing the Source button on the remote, or the button immediately to the right of the front panel power button. If that doesn’t happen the unit is likely in need of repair.
