Very enjoyable movie! Tom Hanks doesn’t disappoint in his portrayal of an airline pilot faced with difficult choices. The 4K version is really very nicely done and won’t disappoint either.

Great 4K Version!

Verified Purchase:Yes
The newest release of The Fifth Element is better than I expected, and not just an upscaled version of the standard BluRay version.
Feels a lot more like the theater version than the previous releases at 1080P, but not just because of the enhanced definition. The transfer was awesomely done with perfect saturation of the colors, excellent definition and the HDR really helps in both the brightest and darkest scenes.
If you are a fan of this movie, this will not disappoint.

Does the job well

The holder fit both our phones (iPhone 7plus and X) and holds them securely. I was concerned because the 7+ is a larger phone.
The holder is adjustable for viewing angle which is great to see navigation stuff better while driving. Great choice overall.

Epic action movie!
on June 15, 2017
Posted by: Rickm1122

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great revenge thriller that grabs you right where you sit after the first few minutes and doesn't let go for the next action-packed 90 minutes. The violence is pretty graphic but very stylishly presented, almost redefining the "assassin genre" completely. Good deadpan humor from Keanu Reeves as always, and some memorable quotes.

Good action-filled movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
I found this movie intense, but very realistic in its screenplay. The action is believable, the violence is somewhat graphic (but likewise believable). Overall I feel that the characters were well developed, and the actors playing the were giving it their best.
Kudos to Ben Affleck for a great job at directing as well as starring in this well done movie.

Interact with Alexa anywhere in your home with the Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device. The compact size is a perfect fit in any room, and the built-in speaker lets you set an alarm or stream music. The Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device plugs into your home stereo speakers or connects wirelessly through Bluetooth.

Great addition to your home automation
on March 9, 2017
Posted by: Rickm1122

Verified Purchase:Yes
I initially purchased one of these as more or less a novelty. However; after exploring what the Echo dot could bring to my home automation system, I purchased several more for deployment around the house.
The beam-forming microphone array does a very good job in discerning your voice and, unlike another popular voice controlled product I tried, does not require you to raise your voice to be heard when the TV is on.
That said, noise from running water or fans blowing (white noise) in the immediate vicinity may hamper recognition. If you have several throughout the home, they vote on which one heard you best to respond. Very cool.
With the right integration (almost EVERYTHING can be made to operate with Alexa using some software and hardware add-ons), you will find that you will be using this to control everything from air cleaners, humidifiers, fireplaces, lighting, door locks, garage door openers, smart outlets, and various brands of smart lighting.
I am currently controlling Zigbee, Z-wave, Wink, Nest, Lifx, Lutron, WeMo and (some) Iris products. Most of these do require the purchase of a dedicated hub, to be fair, but in the end you can put them all under the Alexa umbrella if you're willing to do a bit of research.
Summary: A very flexible and capable voice controlled AI assistant for home automation.

Listen to music uninterrupted with these Sony stereo headphones. Adaptive noise cancellation features ensure you only hear the music and not ambient sounds, while a powerful battery delivers up to 20 hours of listening pleasure. These Sony stereo headphones are wireless so that you can listen in comfort to the high-resolution audio that delivers incredible bass and trebles.

Well rounded sound
on March 9, 2017
Posted by: Rickm1122
from Eugene, OR
Verified Purchase:Yes
The MDR-1000x headphones offer a combination of performance points that I feel make these a great purchase.
First; the sound quality is quite good, and short of spending thousands of dollars on electrostatic headphones, provide a fairly well balanced sound presentation. Some may not like the *nearly* flat response (typical of Sony, they are a bit bottom-end heavy) but that said, I found that they are a pleasure to listen to. Be certain to optimize the noise cancellation, as it makes a SIGNIFICANT difference in the audio response of these headphones.
Second; the noise canceling is truly amazing, and has various modes to allow conversation and situational awareness, as well as a brilliant "touch the right earcup to briefly disable noise cancellation and lower music" mode to prevent you from having to remove the headphones to speak to someone.
Comfort: These are fairly comfortable to wear, but here I need to say that more than a few hours, and you definitely notice them on your head. In this area, I will state that the Bose Qz35's are a bit better.
Telephone use: I never anticipated that I would ever use these to talk on the phone, but I have had to take calls on them occasionally. My surprise is that other than being a bit more ambient than my Sennheiser Bluetooth dedicated headset, These performed quite well.
Summary: These are a good value for a noise cancelling, audio contour adaptable headphone, and provide great sound quality.

Outrageously good projector for the price!
on March 26, 2016
Posted by: Rickm1122
from Eugene, OR
Verified Purchase:Yes
General:
I knew when reading the reviews for this projector, that it was going to be a strong performer, but until I actually saw it live, I had no idea!
3200 lumens is a real number for this guy, and it is truly the same for color as it is black and white, and can easily be seen in a brightly illuminated room. I highlight this because so many other projectors claim 3200 lumens, but only in "Black and White Mode", and single, saturated colors are nowhere close to the same brightness.
Connectivity:
I am currently using the HDMI interface, as it works well for all modes of display from my source, which is either an iPhone or iPad device. I originally had hoped that the wifi connectivity would work out for me, but as it utilizes a special app from Epson (Epson iProjection) which only works for photo display, not video, presentation, or mirroring modes. It only works using its own web browser, document or photo viewer, downloaded PowerPoint slides (not always shown well, either) or PDF's. This did not meet the needs for me, but it might work for some. I had little confidence in this connection going in as the reviews on the App Store were pretty harsh. Reality matched the reviews. Do not waste your money either on the wireless LAN adapter unless you are using a PC.
I would like to reiterate that using the Apple HDMI to lightning adapter DOES work flawlessly for all modes of viewing, including mirroring, and sound is in perfect sync with your videos. This requires NO app and is completely setup free. Not wireless, but it works solidly.
Other connections are composite video w/audio, XVGA / VGA connection, and LAN. Video looks great on the XVGA / VGA INPUT, and composite looks soft, as you might expect, but faithful to the input signal.
Overall impression:
In the resolution category this is aimed at (WUXGA) this thing is awesome. Quiet, fast response, decent remote, auto keystone adjustments, good zoom range, adequate audio volume for medium sized conference rooms, and really well converged display.
For my money, I don't think you can do better than this!

Great installment in the series!
on November 3, 2015
Posted by: Rickm1122

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is part of the "Divergent" franchise, and a noteworthy installment into that series. It is not a predictable outcome, or a rehash of earlier story lines, but brings a new outcome and was very satisfying to watch.
As a DVD, the quality was excellent, and included both 2-D and 3-D versions on separate disks (very nice in the event your DVD player does not have a way to disable 3-D as mine does not). The 3-D effects are used sparingly and only to enhance certain scenes and we found it to be a nice augmentation, rather than centerpiece of the overall visuals.

Projector compatible

need to buy a projector compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 PLUS (for power-point presentations)
The software (iProjection) from Epson will allow you to wirelessly show downloaded documents on this projector, however not directly from the PowerPoint app. PowerPoint presentations can be printed to PDF, downloaded using the iProjection app and shown wirelessly.

If you are ok with using the Samsung 30-pin to HDMI connector, all functions are available, including screen mirroring, video, and integrated sound (not available wirelessly).

Hope this helps!

Rid the air in your home of dust, dander, pollen and more with this air purifier equipped with a washable filter for consistent and thorough results.
 

This air filter clean the salt in the air ? the saltpeter ?

I want some solution against saltpeter and corrosion on eletronic equipaments
Well, that's a complicated question.

First answer. The filter will indeed capture airborne salt particles in the main filter, so one valid answer is yes, if the particles are airborne, this will capture them up to the point that the filter, itself an electronic device, becomes compromised by the salt.

The second answer is, maybe. If you have that kind of salt air issues, and aren't living on the bonneville salt flats, chances are you are next to an ocean or sea. This means that MOST of the salt will be condensing on the surfaces and not remaining airborne long enough to filter out. Then the second half of the first answer applies: until the salt ultimately compromises the electronics in the filter.

So, a short term solution is possible, but the long term fix in that kind of really harsh environment is a whole-house, positive pressure system with a water scrubber is really the only thing that will truly desalt your air to the point that it won't destroy the electronics.

This Honeywell Air Genius 5 Air Purifier features 5 levels of cleaning power and patented ifD® technology to capture up to 99.9% of microscopic airborne particles*1 ( 1 From the air that passes through the filter, 0.3 microns and larger. 2 Based on 3rd party independent CADR testing for the smoke CADR value when operated at the highest level. Air circulation depends on many factors, such as room size and configuration. There is no guarantee that all of the air in a room will pass through the filter. 3 The ifD® particle filter and foam pre-filer can be washed to clean. 4 When operated with the odor reducing pre-filter. It is recommended that the pre-filter be replaced every 3 months to effectively reduce common household odors and VOCs in a room).
 

what is the different between the pre filter and the one is inside the honeywell come in the box,which one is washeable

The pre-filter is an activated carbon impregnated foam filter. It's primary purpose is to assist in filtering odors, but it also catches pet hair, lint, and bigger particulates. This filter will fall apart if you attempt to wash it.

The washable internal filter (they are both accessed via the removable back panel) is an electrostatic filter designed to capture smaller particles of things like dander and pollen.

Just a tip: if you replace the pre-filter, make certain that it is pressed back under the retaining tabs on the rear grille. If you don't, it will make replacing the cover impossible as there is no excess room.
