Live Long and Prosper!

Frank Darabont is one of my favorite directors! He also produced "The Mist" and the first season of "The Walking Dead". I highly recommend this movie and the 4K transfer is awesome!

Interstellar opens on Earth in the distant future, as Mother Nature is waging war on humanity. Famine is widespread, and all of mankind's resources are now dedicated to farming in a desperate fight for survival. A former NASA pilot and engineer named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) has become a homesteader in order to support his teenage son Tom (Timothee Chalamet) and 10-year-old daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy). Unfortunately, even that begins to look like a futile endeavor after a sandstorm ravages their close-knit community. Meanwhile, a seemingly supernatural mystery begins to unfold when the InchghostInch that dwells in Murph's room sends her a mysterious set of coordinates - which lead the curious father/daughter duo to a clandestine underground base housing the remnants of NASA. There, renowned physicist Professor Brand (Michael Caine) has been working with a team of astronauts and scientists to find a new planet capable of sustaining human life. Brand quickly persuades Cooper to pilot a mission that will hopefully carry the seeds of human life to a habitable planet in another galaxy. Cooper is soon bound for space with Brand's daughter Amelia (Anne Hathaway) and researchers Doyle (Wes Bentley) and Romilly (David Gyasi).

For those looking for the best in the latest television technologies, the U8H should be a top contender. The most exciting 2022 upgrade is Mini-LED. With Mini-LEDs that are 50x smaller than traditional LED lights, local dimming and contrast control reproduce incredible black and white levels within the same scene like never before in the series. The U8H is now compatible with the Wifi 6e router protocol. Streaming from the wide selection of Google TV apps is now easier and smoother when connected to a dedicated router channel that won~t be competing with other connected devices on the same router. For gamers, the U8H now comes equipped with Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro for enhanced gaming picture contrast and even smoother, tear-free motion. And lastly, the U8H now comes with a 2-year warranty and is available in a 75~ screen size. 2021 was a huge year for the Hisense U8H series and with so many upgrades, 2022 looks to be just as promising..

The panel in my primary TV recently failed so my search for a replacement began. The 55U8H exceeded my criteria for the desired specifications. This is the first Hisense product I have ever purchased. You only get one chance to make a first impression and unfortunately it was not a good one. I returned the TV to Best Buy for several reasons. The first issue was with the built-in 20W subwoofer located on the back of the TV. With the volume at only 20-25, it started making a hissing sound and would vibrate the entire unit when I watched programming with deep bass. I gently pressed on the cover around the subwoofer and the hissing and vibration would stop. The second issue occurred when switching HDMI inputs and channels. Each time the screen would turn black for a few seconds and make a small popping sound. The third issue was with the Google platform. We all know operating systems and streaming apps will experience a bug or glitch at some point. However, multiple times the screen would freeze when I tried to stream content from one of the pre-installed apps. I had to perform a soft reboot each time to resume normal functions. The fourth and final issue was the extremely poor upscaling feature. Lower resolution content in 480p, 720p and 1080i from a source such as a cable box or a DVD looks absolutely terrible. However, higher resolutions in 1080p and 2160p from any source are displayed exceptionally well. Also worth mentioning, this TV displays a peak brightness of approximately 1500 nits. The brightness is excessive and will cause pixel distortion in whites and extremely light colors. I had to switch between picture modes and change many settings to achieve the best image. In closing, I truly wanted this TV to be the best mid-range unit on the market for quality and value. Sadly it was not. The attractive price point of $650 was too good to be true. The ancient idiom “you get what you pay for” definitely applies to my experience.
