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.

I can't really differentiate between HD and UHD resolution. I have a 96" projector screen and they both look the same to me. But what makes a difference is the HDR. Colors are more vibrant and the picture really pops.

Great FHD monitor for the price
on December 17, 2021
Posted by: surfahdude
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great monitor for the price. I do not use it for gaming but wanted the extra real estate. I could not place a second HD monitor on my desk but this one fits perfectly. The only nitpick is that using FHD means all the fonts and icons get correspondingly smaller.

If you need write speed, this is the way to go
on August 8, 2021
Posted by: surfahdude
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Extreme Plus cards are a LOT better than the Sandisk Ultra Plus cards. The Extreme Plus cards are twice as fast at read and writing data compared to the Ultra Plus. Yes, you are paying nearly twice the price, but if you are using these cards as a storage in MP3 players, it is a lot quicker in transferring data. The Ultra card took six hours to copy 112 GB of data and the Extreme Plus took only three.
Note that the Ultra Plus specs does NOT give any write speed.

Has it good points and bad points...

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's cheap, you can access a lot of streaming services, but its implementation leaves a lot to be desired. When FF or Rew a video, it does not display where you want to go, which makes it hard to find out your desired location. It uses RF for the remote so line of sight is not required but it means it does not work with universal remotes, so you got another remote lying around.

You msu want this to enjoy it...

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Harmony Hub allows you to use your tablet or smartphone to control your devices. TBH, using a smartphone is a terrible way of using this device because the screen is too small. For my AVR, there are over 50 screens or pages you have to scroll through. Using a tablet makes things easier because you have larger real estate to work with.
I actually prefer using a regular Harmony remote because most of the buttons are logically arranged and you can reprogram them. The problem with the regular Harmony remotes is that you cannot rearrange the order of thescreen displays. Another issue is that programming the Harmony timings can be difficult on devices where timing is important.
The hub is not all that bad, you also can connect to Bluetooth devices (the regular Harmony does not), so you can actually program Roku or the NVidia Shield on the hub. What I do not like about the hub is that you always have to activate the display of the tablet and tap areas of the screen to do anything. The regular Harmony remotes are easier because you can shortly memorize the location of the buttons of most used commands.

Cheap but Windows 10 has issues with USB devices
on May 7, 2021
Posted by: surfahdude
Verified Purchase:Yes
While i think USB 3.0 devices are great, Windows 10 has inherent issues with them. I have several external USB flash drives and portable drives. For some reason, the transfer rate is extremely slow. I have read through a lot of Windows 10 tips on this and nothing works. The transfer rate can be anywhere from 150 MB/s to 150 bytes/sec.

Expensive but worth it, get it before it's gone

Posted by: surfahdude
Verified Purchase:Yes
Expensive but worth it. Luckily, i got it before the price went from $250 to $380. While i wish the Harmony One was still available, this unit does have one advantage. It supports Bluetooth.
Sadly, Logitech has announced the discontinuation of their Harmony line, which means there will be no viable universal remotes any more.

Take your gaming performance to the next level with this MSi gaming motherboard. Compatible with up to ninth-generation Intel processors, it supports high-performance features like DDR4 RAM and USB Type-C, and the Gaming I/O cover offers enhanced lighting options. This MSi gaming motherboard includes thermal enhancement features for high-speed M.2 storage to provide optimal performance.
Overall2 out of 5
2 out of 5A well designed board with a fatal flaw...
By surfahdude
The MSi Gaming Pro Carbon is a nice looking board with great features with one fatal flaw. The board utilizes a 4+2 voltage regulator design which is insufficient for the latest high (95+) wattage AMD Ryzen CPUs. Better boards have as much asa a 14+2 VRM deisgn (such as MSi's top boards). MSi cut corners here and it shows when the board is pushed under load.
When running under load, the voltage regulators will run a steady 95 degrees, extremely high where some other brands run only 65-75 degrees C. If you are using a 65 watt or lower Ryzen CPU, this should not pose a problem.
If you are looking to use a AMD 3900X or any CPU that draws 95 watts or more, I would look elsewhere, especially if you want to overclock the CPU. The motherboard will cause the CPU to thermal throttle, e.g. slow down until the temps go down.

Build a computer to dominate the competition with this MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus motherboard. The four DDR4 memory slots accommodate up to 128GB of RAM, while the five PCIe expansion slots offer space for additional components. This MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus motherboard works with select AMD Ryzen 9 processors for a powerful computing experience.
Overall2 out of 5
2 out of 5Not for 105-watt AMD CPUs
By surfahdude
If you are planning to buy this mobo for a 65-watt CPU, fine... Avoid this if you are planning to buy this motherboard for any 105-watt AMD CPU (3800x/3900x/3950x). The power supply design cannot supply the current required for those CPUs. The voltage regulators will overheat, hitting 100-120 degrees C. When this happens, t he board will throttle the CPU speed down until the VRs cool down. When the VR temps rise again, the process will repeat itself.
MSi really screwed up the board design on all of the MPG lineup of X570 motherboards. All of them have terrible VR designs causing the to overheat. I have one and it really sucks. Better boards will only hit temps of 60-70 degrees.

I would strongly recommend a sub with this speaker as the bass output is a bit weak.

I just hooked up the Sony SS-CS5 to my sony fm stereo fm-am receiver str-de415 and i got audio from my record player - do I still need an amplifier to get better sound?
I don't know if the receiver has a phono input. If it does not (and if the turntable does not have a built-in phono pre-amp), you cannot hear the sound correctly.

You will need UHD movies as ATMOS is rarely pressed on Blu-Ray discs. Also, to get ATMOS, you will need a sound system that supports it. The TV has nothing to do with it.
