FoodSaver - V2244 Vacuum Sealer - Black
Keep your food fresh with this vacuum sealer that features crush-free control to help protect and store delicate food and a double-wide sealing strip for secure closure.
Works for what we needed
Customer Rating
3.0
This does the job, but there are some things I would change. Largely the vacuum isn't that strong and it is annoying that you have to Lock it in place before it will vacuum or seal. But it works and keeps things fresh. I don't know how it does with sealing bags. We mainly use it for chips and cereal.

Fun Movie, excellent in 4k
Customer Rating
4.0
I saw this originally from Redbox and liked it enough to buy it. The acting is great. I ended up buying it in 4k to go with a new TV and the movie really shines there, in some scenes it feels like you are in outerspace or looking at the night sky. Even with a predictable ending, there are some surprises.

Honestly, my only complaint with this movie is that the american wizards call muggles "no-mag". Otherwise this is a fun movie and worth watching.

I think First Class is far superior to this movie. That being said, I enjoyed it. Without giving any spoilers, some of the story doesn't make a lot of sense. Character motivations are flimsy. But it still beats X2 and X3.

It is barely better than using the controller. I don't think it is worth the extra money. You still need to controller to do many functions.

Customer Rating

If you are an Xbox fan, then this might be an OK buy. I would probably wait for the next console this fall. But if you are buying this as a 4k blu-ray player, i would try to stick with a dedicated console. I came from playstation 3, their interface is so much cleaner. Xbox is like facebook and it tosses junk at you all over the place, much harder to find what you are looking for. Also, the blu-ray player is not a native function with the xbox you are downloading an app, which doesn't work that great. Specifically this app has like a 2 star rating on the microsoft app store. I returned this and went with a dedicated player. I am really more of a Playstation person anyway.

Planet Earth II [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray] [3 Discs]
This sequel to the critically acclaimed BBC series about the vast scope of life on earth. Sir David Attenborough presents this collection of UltraHD footage of deserts, jungles, mountains, grasslands, islands and more, shot with the latest technologies and showcasing a living record of our home planet's flora, fauna and geography.
Great demo for 4k. Interesting documentary
Customer Rating
4.0
The 4k on this is exceptional. That is the reason I bought it. It really does showcase the high resolution and HDR well. The discs are each set up according to regions, i.e islands, mountains, deserts etc.. They have some really cute and cool animals. It is nature though, so I would caution any that have kids to bear in mind these animals do eat each other. Wish the price was a bit cheaper though.

Customer Rating
4.0
I ended up returning this. I don't want to give this a star rating but it is required. I did not end up using this. I was told by many people that beyond 15 feet you MUST use an extender like this one to get 4k and HDR without a delay. Believe it or not Insignia (best buy's brand) has a 50ft HDMI that supports full 4k and HDR (slight delay that can be fixed with AV sync setting). I ended up getting the 35ft Monster (no delay) and haven't looked back. It normally goes for $200 but I got it for $80 on sale. Can't really review this for its functionality, don't really doubt that it works, but you might be able to get away with a cheaper option like I did. If you need longer than 50 ft, this may be the way to go. The one item I can say is that the only difference between this one and the next higher up model is that this extender requires power on both the transmitter and receiver. The next up can operate with just one, no other difference.

I had problems across the board with my new OLED TV. Only the Insignia (50ft) and this Monster cable were capable of supporting HDR 10 over 15 feet. The insignia required my TV to use its AV sync settings to avoid sound delay vs video. This cable does not, I can't say for sure if it is a superior cable or if the fact that it is 15 feet shorter did the trick, but I am very happy with this cable. Works great!

This LG 4K HD TV features a thin OLED design, giving the television a slender silhouette that doesn't take up much space.
Finally an upgrade from Plasma
Customer Rating
5.0
I had a Samsung 58" HD Plasma TV for the last 8 years, never had an issue with it. Loved the perfect blacks. I have always had issues with the LED TVs and wondered why they killed plasma. With this TV I can finally get on board. If you can spring for it, go for it, Don't get hung up on the QLED or Nano LED or whatever non OLED options there are now. I tried the LG nano for $2300 and the light bleed and blacks made it a non-starter. This has great blacks and awesome resolution. Just one point of warning, the TV can be very picky about HDR. If your source (blu ray) has it and you don't have the right cables to get the signal there it rejects the feed all-together. If you are going to spend over $3k on a TV don't skimp on the cables.

FoodSaver - V2244 Vacuum Sealer - Black
Keep your food fresh with this vacuum sealer that features crush-free control to help protect and store delicate food and a double-wide sealing strip for secure closure.
Can you seal packages that aren't the specific FoodSaver bags?
For example, can I seal an opened potato chip bag or package of frozen vegetables, etc.?
Monster - Black Platinum Line 35' 4K Ultra HD In-Wall HDMI Cable - Black

Monster-exclusive v-grip connectors mean you don't have to worry about your connection coming loose, and a Duraflex Hex Mesh jacket protects your connection from all temperatures. This Monster Black Platinum UHD HDMI cable is certified for in-wall use.
Is this HDMI cable (Monster 35 foot Platinum Series) directional, i.e. does it matter what end plugs into what device (TV or cable control box)?
This cable is directional and the label on it is just a small tag. That is probably my only complaint, while the Insignia 50ft has the ends marked for TV and source actually on the HDMI plug, this only has a tag and just on the TV side. Make sure you check before you run it through the wall/ceiling. I did in advance and it probably saved me a bunch of headaches.
