HDMI cables
on December 30, 2017
Posted by: Ralph
from New York
Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't think there is much difference between one HDMI cable and another. They are all rated capable of 4K (provided you have an HDMI plug that is also so rated (not all are)). In my experience Best Buy does not have the best prices on these cables. Better prices can be found online. I bought this because I needed the cable in a hurry.

macbook air to tv
on December 30, 2017
Posted by: Ralph
Verified Purchase:Yes
I used this adapter to connect my wife's MacBook Air to a TV for a Powerpoint presentation. It converts the laptop display to a standard HDMI video only ouptup (no sound). It works fine for showing whatever is on your laptop display on any TV with an HDMI in port. As its very short, you need to buy a separate HDMI cable.

so so as Ultra HD demonstrator
on February 25, 2017
Posted by: Ralph
Verified Purchase:Yes
I already have the Independence Day DVD and wanted the Ultra HD version of the sequel to show off my Ultra HD tv. When watching it, I did notice the vibrancy of the colors resulting from the HDR encoding but its not as eye popping as an Ultra HD Imax nature title. As to the movie itself, I thought it was fun and better than the reviews it got. I enjoyed seeing all the characters back (except Will Smith).

One look at this DVD, and viewers won't believe it's all animation. One of the most detailed DVDs out today, this is bound to go down as a classic both in animation and children's features. Dinosaur, released by Walt Disney Pictures, is the charming story of a dinosaur mistakenly raised by lemurs. The special effects of the meteor hitting the earth are so realistic, you'll find it hard to believe that this is an animated movie. Because the movie was released digitally, the DVD is created straight from the digital source, and it shows in the sound and quality. The sound is Dolby 5.1 (other options are THX-certified and DTS 5.1) with French and English tracks. It's available for viewing in both standard and 1:85:1 widescreen versions. Along with the awesome visuals and sound, there are plenty of features to occupy viewers long after the movie is over. Highlights include background on how the special effects were created, a documentary on the sound design, a feature on "building a better dinosaur," and several games, including "Dinosearch" and "Aladar's Adventure." Also included are web links and a dinosaur encyclopedia. Disney went all out with this DVD, and it shows.

The RS 160 is a two-part headphone system, powered by a couple of NiMH batteries and a transmitter that connects to your output device. It's very simple to set up as the whole system is plug and play. This compact and portable transmitter utilizes Kleer's uncompressed digital wireless audio transmission. It offers an effective range of 20m (line of sight), and can serve up to four pairs of headphone.

great headphones
on February 25, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted these because they do not use bluetooth. I already use bluetooth to connect my android device to the sound system and did not want problems with bluetooth mispairings. They work great. The sound quality is excellent and rock solid with a range sufficient for me to go to the bathroom and still hear without disturbing my wife.

One of the best Imax movies
on October 27, 2016
Posted by: Ralph
Verified Purchase:Yes
The great one is To the Arctic 3D narrated by Meryl Streep and with songs by Paul McCartney. It graphically tells about the melting polar ice cap and its impact on polar bears. It contains stunning scenery and wild life shots including heart breaking footage of a starving male polar bear trying to catch and eat a couple of cubs and the mother's efforts to protect them. There is beautiful footage of other wild life and of the rugged scenery and northern lights. Both in the movie and in the special features is some great footage about the extraordinary and dangerous work of making the film. Its one of the best I have seen. The other film, Born to Be Wild is about caring for orphaned wildlife in Africa. It is only so so, which is why I give this two movie package only four stars.

Spectacular under water 3D
on October 24, 2016
Posted by: Ralph
Verified Purchase:Yes
Under the Sea is the 3D movie I show to friends to demonstrate this feature on my TV. I am told the 3D is excellent and the tropical fish here seen to be swimming around the living room. It has very informative narration by Jim Carey. The other one, Deep Sea, is, also, an Imax movie and is good but not as spectacular in its colors as Under the Sea, which is shot more on colorful reefs.

3 Imax movies in 3D
on October 24, 2016
Posted by: Ralph
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am not the best judge of 3D effects but others have told me that, in general, Imax movies have very good 3D. The best of these three is the Mummies movie which has spectacular shots of Egypt as well as spectacular shots of ancient Egypt while it tells the story of why Mummies were made and what can be learned from their DNA now. It, also, tells the story of one of the most spectacular finds in modern Egyptian history. Wild Ocean tells about an area off the east coast of South Africa which periodically gets an influx of sardines which brings in a host of other sea life. There are beautiful shots on both land and sea but these are sometimes repetitive. The dinosaur movie is the least interesting and appeared to me not as photo realistic as some later epics in this genre. The price is a little high even though you get three movies.

Four IMAX films mastered in 4K Ultra HD on one Blu-ray. In Tornado Alley, viewers ride along with storm chaser Sean Casey as his VORTEX 2 team tracks a brewing tornado. In Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk, a 15-day river rafting trip narrated by Robert Redford reveals how water conservation is essential to the life of this national treasure. And in Hidden Universe, Miranda Richardson narrates a journey through unseen realms of outer space.

3 Imax movies well translated into Ultra HD
on October 24, 2016
Posted by: Ralph
Verified Purchase:Yes
The three movies are Tornado Alley, Grand Canyon Adventure and Hidden Universe. The best of the three is Grand Canyon Adventure, which has absolutely stunning 4k and high dynamic range photography of the area. Its narrated by Robert Redford and tells about how the Colorado River is gradually drying up. Hidden Universe is about a group of new telescopes in South America in the high desert. It has beautifully detailed and colorful photographs of the universe taken with these telescopes as well as beautiful shots of the nearby desert. The least spectacular, photography wise, is the tornado movie but its worth watching just to see the amazing tank that was designed to drive into tornadoes. Three for the price of one is a great deal exclusive for Best Buy. Its a natural for their customers to show off with their new high tech TVs.
