Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar Games has yet created and takes full advantage of every ounce of processing power available in the current generation of consoles.

HP 20" W2071D LED HD Monitor: This slim monitor is great for checking e-mail, browsing your favorite websites and checking Facebook and Twitter. It also works well as a second screen so you can get more work — or fun — done. Plus, you can free up desk space by mounting it on a wall.

Really nothing negative to report. This came on a deal with an HP bundle. It pretty much does what my monitors need to do. Nothing outstanding yet nothing detracting.

FC2 is not as great as flick as the first. But, this one takes the saga in a logical direction. The Blu-ray has a solid video transfer. Audio is decent, but don't expect a full surround experience. Special features include a good audio commentary by the director and actors, and a couple throwaway featurettes that did not do anything for me. Overall still a good buy given the price.

I'm surprised a movie of this caliber (or lack thereof) gets such a quality Blu-ray release. The picture quality makes this look like a recent release movie. But 20 minutes into the film you're brought back to reality. This is a pure 80's cheese fest.

A Tarantino story, coupled with superb acting and a first rate Blu-ray presentation make this a recommended buy. Plus the exclusive packaging is striking and stands out among any movie collection.

The 3D conversion is excellent, as good as Titanic 3D. It also appears they made some changes to the look of the film. There is a warmer color grade throughout and film grain is absent compared to the previous Blu-ray release. Perhaps these changes were necessary to make the 3D conversion to work, who knows. But if such things do not bother you, then you will enjoy the 3D effects.

This review will focus on the merits of the Blu-ray presentation. Life of Pi's 3D quality is stunning to say the least. Do not expect any gimmicky pop-out shots, you will get outstanding depth and dimensionality. The DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 soundtrack is as stunning as the picture quality. Fully immersive and dynamic when needed. No problems whatsoever with center channel dialog. Special features are excellent. There are several featurettes including a full-length making-of documentary. Videophiles looking for material to demo their 3D home theater need look no further than this one.

This review will focus on the merits of the Blu-ray presentation. The Hobbit's 3D quality is stunning to say the least. Do not expect any gimmick pop-out shots, but you will get outstanding depth and dimensionality. As impressive is the DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 soundtrack. It is as monstrous as a cave troll. Only capable surround systems need apply. Special features are decent. However it is well known an extended version with presumably more features is expected at some point. Overall, this is a must buy for Tolkien fans, fantasy film fans and consumers looking for material to demo their 3D home theater.

By now you know the history behind the film and all the well deserved accolades this film rightly earned. This review will concentrate on the merits of the Blu-ray. Zero Dark Thirty's video presentation is astounding. details are strong and both color and contrast are impressive. Nothing at all to complain about. The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack is even better. all channels are clear, dialog is never a problem, LFE is aggressive but never overbearing. And finally, the surround support is active, natural and full of ambiance. The only real issue worth complaining is the special features section (or lack thereof). This would have been a wonderful opportunity of provide a thorough documentary not only of the film making process, but of the real stories behind the film. All in all, this is still a must own on Blu-ray simply because it is a five star film given a fantastic Blu-ray A/V presentation.

This review will concentrate on the merits of the Blu-ray rather than the movie itself. Lincoln is a first rate transfer, consistent with director Steven Spielberg's artistic intent. Color and contrast are dialed in perfectly. And although there are moments of diffuse softness (which is not a flaw but the filmmakers intent), detail is excellent throughout. Lincoln's DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround track is detailed and articulate, but not bombastic by any means. Great restraint was used here. Since this is a dialog heavy film, much of the sound occurs though the center channel. LFE and surround channel, though active, are rightfully reigned in. Special features on this 4-disc edition are mostly short featurettes. The stand out is undoubtedly the "Living with Lincoln" featurette, which happens to be the longest at nearly 30 minutes. Overall this is a great presentation. Only the most nitpicky will find issue here.
What's great about it: First rate picture and audio quality
