i like everything about this tv playing 4k ultra hd movies look way better on a hdr tv like this then a regular non-hdr 4k tv and dolby vision wont be addd on till april 7th from my understanding but i like everthing about this tv im using sports mode for picture mode for my cable and when you watch 4k ultra hd blu-ray movies in the new samsung 4k player it switches to a hdr standard, bright, or vivid, picture mode i like the vivid one the most blu-rays look great to but what a difference a hdr tv makes compared to a non hdr 4k tv cant wait till dolby vision comes out in the next update next week.

best nba 2k series ever

this game is pretty realistic if people are debating between this or live again this year stick with 2k the graphics the courts now the face scanning which is awesome this game takes it to another level the face scan works well if u do it the way the instructions tell you but gameplay feels more real and the players model looks even better but i just recommend this game for a basketball game.

great 4k upscale blu-ray player 3d is really great on this player the we browser is point less i have a fast internet but noting loads that well on the browser that the only negative the upscaling is nice im hoping this player will play full 4k movies when there out cause when i play a blu-ray it goes to 2160p instead of 1080p which is pretty cool but im happy with it i dont recommend using the web browser though dvds look pretty good to those just say 1080p not 2160p 3d looks great ive been using my ps3 or ps4 for 3d lately but since i got this player im getting less ghosting and the 3d really pops out excellent but i do recommend this player to anyone if there looking for a player oh by the way it has two 2.0 hdmi ports also.

Excellent Blu-ray Player!!
By BadMutha1 from Los Angeles
I purchased a 40' Sony 3D LED TV a few months ago and was looking to replace my older Sony BDP-S550 player and stop using my PS3 as a 3D Blu-ray player. I also have a 2 year old Sony HD Receiver that supports all HD audio that I was looking to upgrade as well to a 3D Receiver. That was until I found out about and bought the Sony BDP-S790 player on 5/17/12 at my local Best Buy.
I like the cosmetic design and thinness of this player, nice illuminated play, stop, and eject Touch Buttons on top of the player. Easy to setup, XMB bar is same as PS3. Bravia Sync turns on and off my TV, Receiver and BD player together. One downside here, there is no Time button on the remote control and you can not elapsed time on front panel display.
It has DUAL HDMI outputs. AV Separation Mode separates HDMI 1 output for TV, HDMI 2 output for Receiver. Should have been that way since the 1st Blu-ray players were introduced, keep HD video and audio separate. I kept my old Sony Receiver and the HD audio support from this player makes Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master audio just straight out awesome!!
This player loads BD discs much faster than my older BDP-S550 and the PS3. The Picture Quality is phenomenal. You can also adjust and tweak the picture quality even more in Picture Quality mode. I am using Theater Room mode now.
I watched these Blu-ray movies. Transfomers: Dark of the Moon, and Underworld: Awakening in 3D. Great 3D detailed pop out in your face images. Saw Star Wars Episode 2 and 5, Avatar, and Lord of the Rings EE The Two Towers in 2D and just said Wow!! Watched The Bourne Idenity on DVD and the 1080p upconversion looked great.
I recommend the Sony BDP-S790 player to anyone looking to get a new Blu-ray player for 2D or 3D. The price $249.99 might turn some people away from buying this player. But for me, the ability to tweak and adjust picture quality like your TV video settings and having Dual HDMI outs is worth buying especially if you have a non 3D Receiver.

NBA 2K14 marks the return of the world's biggest and best NBA video game franchise. Following more than 38 Sports Game of the Year and "Best Of" mentions last year, 2K14 is set to rule the virtual hardwood once again. This year, 2K joins forces with the league's most dominant force: LeBron James. With a soundtrack hand-picked by the King, refined controls featuring the new Pro Stick, new Signature Skills, enhanced defense including blocked dunks, and more, NBA 2K14 will raise the bar yet again.

Perched atop this skyscraper, you can see the entire cityscape. Horns, sirens and other sounds of the hustle and bustle of the city can be heard from far below. As people go about their daily business, crime lurks in the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to pounce. And that's why you're here — to fight back and keep the little guy safe. As you take in the scene, your spidey senses tingle. Without thinking, you leap off the edge and into the air. Halfway into your freefall, you send a stream of web shooting into the air, and it latches onto a building off in the distance. You're web-slinging your way into another day at the office.In a thrilling story set just after the events of the upcoming movie, The Amazing Spider-Man invites you to suit up as the newly anointed web-slinging superhero as you continue the adventures of Peter Parker. Criminals lurk in all shapes and sizes all over — and under — Manhattan, and it's up to you to keep the city safe in this free-roaming adventure. Use the game's new Web Rush mechanic to perform cool new moves that were never before possible and use real-time navigational and combat choices to fight crime. Swing into battle against all-new versions of classic Spidey villains and original, larger-than-life enemies. Soar through the city on your trusty strands of web and execute spectacular — and signature — acrobatic moves and attacks to overpower the bad guys. Are your spidey senses tingling yet?

The So-So Spider-man
By Brooks2013
Serving as a sequel to The Amazing Spider-man, this open world game has Spider-man dealing with giant robots as well as mutated animals and later a potential epidemic. While the game is mildly fun, it can be quite dull at times and some of the missions feel like a chore.

Beautiful
By JCGuy
Had the TV for about 2 weeks now and love it! The picture upscaling for 1080 is terrific. I am very impressed. In fact I almost forgot it was made for 4K. Finally streamed UHD on Netflix and its beautiful. I look forward to more 4K content and the upcoming HDR. Streamed Airplay from an iMAC Retina and the colors were almost exact. And Apple TV looks incredible on here! Don't get me wrong, I would have preferred OLED, but couldn't bring myself to spend the money. I did a lot of research and this ended up being the next best thing with 3D and HDR compatible features in my price range. I will admit, I noticed very slight light bleed at the top, but only because i was looking for it. Setting LED Dimming on high seemed to take care of it. We have this hooked up to a pioneer SC-91, which has the HDMI HDCP 2.2 compatible connections. Tried the 3D with the included passive glasses and it's superb!

PS4 Pro cant handle native 4K :(
By Marduk1349
I was exited to find out what sony had in mind, but after going online for more information that sony did not inform (or at least i didn't see). Was the fact that the ps4 pro cant handle native 4k at 60fps. I would love to have this unit but at a much lower price point by at least 150 buck off.

Bought for the roster
By Vitagamer
I have not bought a wrestling game in a long time. I purchased this one due to the listed roster being so large. Just a warning, a lot of characters needed unlocked. They start you with points so you can unlock a few from the beginning.
Graphics are amazing, intros are spot on. Vintage characters are cool. Most people are as realistic as you will get from a game, few look like wax figures.
I have not played online yet, but will soon
