Let me start this review with a disclaimer. I did not like the movie, and would have rated it lower if it weren't for the great visual effects and audio. I normally try to separate the movie review part from a review of the actual item, but in this case I just can't. The UHD Blu-Ray visuals and audio deserve a 5 star rating, but the movie brings it down. I honestly can't decide if I should rank it lower. The movie is 3 hours of disconnected scenes and nonsensical story lines supported by a fairly poorly-written script. It is bad. Buy it if you get a good deal on it and are just dying to add it to your 4K Blu-Ray collection, but don't say I didn't warn you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is just another great CD in a long line of great work from the Pentatonix. It is just amazing that they can produce all of the sounds that they do. With all that being said, the cover of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' left me a little cold. There really is no replacement for Freddie Mercury...

This movie is fantastic. The HDR colors are stunning, and the 4K detail has me going back just to check it out up close. The Dolby Atmos audio is probably the best I've ever heard. If you have the hardware, you must get this UHD Blu-Ray.

I really liked this tablet. It is amazing how nice a tablet companies can make for such little money. Anyone can make a great tablet for $500, but to be able to get something this nice for a sub $100 price tag is just fantastic. Great size.

I love this coffee. I like a wide variety of coffees from light to dark roasts, and this is one of my favorites. This bulk package is a great deal, and I used a $5 certificate to reduce the price even further. Bonus!

This software is very easy to use. I have been using H&R Block and its previous iterations for quite a long time. I also really like the donation estimator tool. I have on occasion used TurboTax, and although it works, I felt like it was not nearly as intuitive. Nice product.

The TV Steal of the Century

Let me start by saying that this TV was a Geek Squad warranty replacement for a defective XBR70X850B. I must say upfront that I have always been a Sony fan, so when given the choice for a replacement, I opted to go with a Sony again. I was a little bit surprised at how the warranty actually worked in execution, but that is another story. It worked out for me, but it might not for others. I would just recommend reading the fine print very carefully before you buy.
This TV’s picture is quite spectacular. My 850B had a few things that I put up with because the picture looked so great. Fast-moving action sports would jitter and blur, but I get none of that with the 930D. The 930D’s ability to handle football, basketball and auto racing without the slightest hiccup makes me very happy.
The Sony 4K up-conversion algorithms are also very well known, so I am not going to bore you with a review of that. This TV does a phenomenal job of image processing without introducing delays or requiring any audio synching. I can say ‘Job well done, Sony’.
The color reproduction on this set is fantastic. The difference between my old 850B and the 930D is like the difference between night and day. I always thought that my old set’s picture quality was great, but this takes color to a whole new level. I really can’t describe to you the depth of color in this set. The other thing I was a not expecting is the incredible contrast between bright whites and ink-like blacks. The screen really differentiates between blacks and other colors, and the result is VERY noticeable. The blacks on the 930D are in a completely different league than the older 850B. I thought the old set was pretty good, but I was wrong. This set is truly awesome. I also purchased a Samsung Ultra 4K Blu-ray player (also reviewed on the Best Buy website) and the HDR color just blows me away. I have not attempted to test it for color gamut. Others have done this and you can check their results if you like. I will just tell you that this set reproduces color like no other I have seen. You really have to see this TV in person to appreciate it.
When I bought the 850B I couldn’t have cared less about 3D. But after owning it and watching a few movies in 3D, I decided that I really wanted it in my replacement set. That narrowed my choices drastically, but fortunately the 930D includes it and that also makes me very happy. The 3D quality seems very, very good to me. I know that others have complained about 3D artifacts, but my set doesn’t exhibit any. My set received a firmware update immediately on day 1, so that may be part of it. I could have lived without 3D if I had to, but I am glad I don’t. It may be a little gimmicky, but I really think watching the occasional 3D movie is pretty cool. If you have never watched a 3D movie on a television, the experience is MUCH different than in the theater. You really should give it a try.
What the whole thing boils down to is if I had to do it all over again, would I buy this set again? Absolutely I would. The picture quality and image reproduction is on par with some of the best I have ever seen, and for what seems like a bargain price. If you want a genuinely great TV – go buy this one. You will not be disappointed.

This seems to be a great cable. It seems to be very well made, with quality materials. The price isn't too bad for a reasonably good cable, so no complaints. I'm just not paying $100 bucks for a cable, so this fits the bill for me.

If you are on the fence about this player - jump off, run out and buy it. This is a great player, and the format is unbelievable. I just couldn't see paying $399 bucks for the thing, but when it went on sale over Black Friday for $179, I jumped on it. I have to say that the 4K Ultra Blu-ray format is really amazing. You just have to see it to believe it.
The player itself is very nice. A VERY nice touch is two HDMI outputs - one specifically for audio if you need it. I did. My receiver has one HDCP 2.2 input which was already used, so I ran this straight to my TV with one HDMI output and the other to my receiver. Problem solved. VERY thoughtful Samsung. Thanks.
Great item, great picture. Go buy it - you won't be disappointed. Just do it.

Will this hard drive work with an 18 month old HP desktop computer with a build ID?
I have an 18-month old HP Pavillion with a 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green hard drive that came with it and just failed. HP support said that all their computers have a build ID that is on almost all the internal hardware, including the hard drive. They would not guarantee that any other hard drive I didn't buy from them would work. I think they're blowing smoke, but I wanted to check to see if anyone has every dealt with this. Thanks!
Yes, it will work.
