I just got a Panasonic DP-U820 player, which handles Dolby Vision -- except on this movie. The colors are faded, the blacks are gray, and it's overall a lackluster showing. Other of my movies in Dolby Vision are spectacular, but I don't know what's wrong with this one. The regular HDR 10 really pops, so I'm giving it 4 stars. I have no idea why DV doesn't work.

I've had more trouble with this than I have with any other Roku. The auto function on the display makes the picture black out frequently, and I keep getting error messages. It works wonderfully when it works, but it's really annoying otherwise.

This is replacing a first-generation Ring doorbell, and it is much improved. The camera is better with a higher resolution; there are more options as far as viewing goes. I spent the extra 30 bucks a year on the subscription service, but it's worth it to see people and not traffic. And the package I got included an Echo Show 5 for $10. You can't beat that.

The Show 5 fulfilled my expectations. I was looking for a smaller Alexa device to go by my bedside, a clock I could see at night and one you didn't have to have an engineering degree to set the time. It works perfectly. The sound is adequate but not great, and the screen doesn't have the annoying flicker that my 1st gen. Echo Show is plagued with. The Show 5 is a nifty device.

The quality of the Blu-ray version is so much better than the old DVD. The movie itself might be problematic, with some reviewers finding it hectic where the rest of us appreciate the zaniness. But if you like it, this is the version to get.

It's a musical, not just a biopic, and my son called and said, "Go buy Rocketman. You have the sound system to do it justice." OK, 7 speakers and 2 subwoofers, and with Dolby Atmos, it just shines.

"Fantastic Beasts" is a good movie, but it lacks the structure that made the Harry Potter movies great -- every Harry Potter film was a standalone in a framework, each, except the last two, covering a year in school. "Fantastic Beasts" is filled with humor, emotion and great effects (No. 2 is darker) but it is obviously part of a series. Also, Dolby Atmos has to be chosen; it isn't the default sound.

I really like this mouse for it's comfort. At 70, I needed something that would fit my hand well for hours, and this fills the bill. OK, it's got a lot of extra buttons I probably won't use, but they're there if I need them. My only complaint was the right and left clicker thingys were a little stiff, but either they have loosened up or I've developed new muscles in my fingers, Either way, the mouse works well and I'm happy with it.

We bought this microwave because we needed a specific size, and with that size, wanted a 1,100-watt oven. We also wanted something pretty basic, because we mostly heat things and cook bacon, not make entire meals. This fills the bill. I didn't give it 5 stars because the buttons are really finicky; you have to press "start"just right, and often repeatedly. It would be nice if they'd wired the light to come on when the door opens. Still, we're happy with it.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 has plenty of storage and great battery life. The sound is good, the video is excellent. I don't game and I don't use it for work, but for my purposes, it couldn't be better.

Only at Best BuyMount your flat-panel TV to the wall easily with this tilting mount that features a locking mechanism for secure installation and a fingertip tilt that allows for smooth movement and optimal viewing.
 

I am using thi with my 6-year-old Vizio 65-in. TV, which uses a 400-400 VESA mount. I'm looking to replace the TV with a 65-inch TCL, which uses a 300-300 mount. Will this mount work with the new TV, or do I need to buy another one?

After buy ring 3+ do we need to pay for any renewal charge or any subscription fees in long future?

The subscription adds storage for your library and the four-second preview thing. Check the Ring site to see the cost and the benefits. We decided it was worth it, but you might not.

I just got the Ring plus 3. Can I access the camera from 2 different phone. If so how do I set it up. Thank you

Download the app on each phone, sign in on each phone and do the notification thing. It shouldn't be a problem. I have the Ring app on my Samsung phone and 2 Galaxy tablets and my wife's iPhone and iPad, and when someone shows up at the door, all heck breaks loose on all of them.
