Incredible picture, brightness, clarity

I had held off on upgrading my four year old Sony 60-inch set because let's face it, 1080p sets can still deliver excellent quality video often dependent on the source more than screen resolution. But once this set was offered on closeout, the temptation was just too much. I went back and forth between this LED technology and OLED, but comparisons in store weren't definitive and both looked great. OLED off center viewing is admittedly wider, but this one is pretty solid and difficult to fault unless you get way off to the side, and even then it's more viewable than many other models seemed to be. Plus the picture can get very bright without noticeable blooming visible on lesser quality screens. Despite being technically a 2-year-old model (they skipped the E model and went directly from D to F), the richness of the image for all practical purposes equals the newer models, and so far the film watching experience in UHD makes for a decided improvement over standard HD, even for upscaled Blu-rays. Native 4K images are so lifelike they look almost 3-D even without the glasses. Sad the newer models have dropped the 3-D feature from all manufacturers, and there are no native 3-D UHD discs. Picture settings were fine right out of the box, but I did a few tweaks as recommended by others in online reviews. Hoping for many years of satisfied movie watching on this set.

Amazing for the price

This works just about as well as the more expensive Echo we have in the family room. Purchased for being able to control household devices (lamps, etc.) from the bedroom, it's incredibly compact and plenty sensitive to vocal commands even when hidden away.

Excellent upgrade

This film was well received upon initial release and highly regarded for the at the time state of the art production and special effects. It had Blu-ray releases which I did not have a chance to see, but I'm confident the UHD copy has to be the best the film has looked since its release on video. It's a very good film in and of itself, and having impeccable sound and picture only enhances the impact of the drama onscreen.

Great movie, great quality

Glad this beloved film has received careful mastering in both Blu-ray and UHD versions. The recently viewed 70mm print I saw in Seattle was not in good shape, sadly. I hope a new print may be struck someday to do justice to this wonderful movie, but in the meanwhile, the home video version will have to suffice. A great bargain, too, at the low discounted price.

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?

Unfortunately no, you can access the information on time and such with the display button which brings it up onscreen. I, too, am frustrated most models except very high end ones have eliminated front displays of even rudimentary information.

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.
