Nice to have in collection

I just picked this dvd up because I had no Seinfeld discs in my collection and found this in the clearance bin. Can't comment on the quality or such things yet as I haven't had the time to watch any of the episodes yet.

This release contains every episode from the fifth and final season of the beloved sitcom The Brady Bunch which tells the story of a lovely lady who was bringing up three very lovely girls. All of them had hair of gold, like their mother (Florence Henderson), the youngest one (Susan Olson) in curls. It's also the story of a man named Brady (Robert Reed) who was busy with three boys of his own. They were four men living altogether, but they were all alone. Until the one day when the lady met the fellow, and they knew (it was much more than a hunch), that this crew must somehow form a family. Ann B. Davis co-stars as Alice, the maid, and Robbie Rist appears in the program's final six installments as Cousin Oliver.

Completed the series

The main reason I purchased this title was simply to complete my series collection. I had purchased the previous seasons of "The Brady Bunch" when they were originally released but never got around to picking up the final season. I saw the final season in the "bargain bin" at my local Best Buy so I picked it up. I haven't watched these episodes yet but they are ready to go. I like to watch shows like this on those days where things don't go as well as you'd like. A bit 'corny", sure.

Enjoyed the movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
While I'm by no means a "Trekkie" I did enjoy watching this movie in the theater and do like most of the Star Trek movies and tv series to some extent. The special effects in this movie are very good and there is a lot of action and just enough of a touch of comedy. Since I enjoy 3d very much I was pleased to find this movie is one of an ever dwindling number of titles to be released in 3d. It's even harder to find a late model tv which supports 3d (what a shame.) I think any Star Trek fan will love this movie!

Nice special effects

Nice special effects and the movie looked great in 3d. Found the story line to be a bit goofy. You'll have to judge the movie for yourself. Mildly entertaining.

An ok movie

Didn't really know much about this movie or what to expect. Description sounded interesting so I picked it up. Found the movie easy to follow but found some of the special effects a bit "cheesy". 3d looked good. If you're into the Tarzan things I guess you'll enjoy the movie.

Another Marvel movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
A friend of mine got me hooked on the movies from Marvel. I hadn't seen or heard much about this movie but decided to pick it up anyway especially since it was available in 3d (one of the few 3d releases these days). I found myself actually enjoying the movie once it got going although I had to watch it a couple of times to fully be able to follow it. All in all a full of action and enjoyable movie.

One of my favorite shows

Big Bang Theory has been one of my favorite shows since it debuted. For me it was a no brainer to pick up season 9. Never seem to get tired of watching these guys.

Worked for what I need it for

Verified Purchase:Yes
I just wanted a simple keyboard to help navigate the web browser and apps on my LG tv since using the remote is quite clunky for web browsing. I was skeptical that this keyboard would work since it wasn't on LG's recommended list. Quite happily the keyboard works fine with my tv. Just plug in the usb dongle and it works flawlessly.

Very decent 4K and 3d TV
on July 5, 2016
Posted by: Ricky1954

Verified Purchase:Yes
Had been looking to upgrade to a larger screen tv than the 46" I had. I wasn't really concerned about 4k capabilities but did want 3d capabilities. That pretty much left me with two choices. The Lg series or the Sony series as these are the only two manufacturers who continue to produce 3d tvs. I wasn't crazy about the Sony series being android operated so I opted for the LG 8500 series.
First of all this tv (55") was very hard to find in stock. Finally located one in stock at a Best Buy 60 miles from me so I drove there to pick it up.
I really wanted to love this tv but can honestly only give it a strong like.
Don't get me wrong...the picture and colors can be adjusted to be quite vibrant and clear. What little 4k I have streamed has been very good. My biggest issues with this set are some very mild areas of light bleed along the top of the screen and one or two fairly moderate banding lines that show up occasionally during camera pans. Depending on how critical you are about these things this may not be an issue for you. A fourth HDMI input would also be nice. It is nice that the set is HDR and DV capable for 4k. Black levels could be a little bit better if you prefer inky blacks but honestly they are quite acceptable to me. I would also prefer the back of the set to be black rather than white.
This tv has more picture controls than you'll probably ever need. Set up was a breeze. Built in web browser is quite snappy. Magic remote took some getting used to but I'm getting there. The passive 3d playback on this set blows away the active 3d on my previous Sony set. Very little cross talk and no more having to charge glasses (big plus). Just make sure you're sitting at the right level. I was quite relieved to see no dead pixels which is always in the back of my mind when searching for a led tv. I must admit the audio quality of this tv is surprisingly good. I rarely use my sound bar anymore.
All in all, I think most people will find this set to be quite acceptable. If you're at all sensitive to minor light bleed and or light to moderate banding you'd be better off looking for a FALD set. You'll probably want to leave the local dimming set to off.

Not sure if I really needed this cable

Verified Purchase:Yes
Since I recently purchased a 4k tv A Best Buy associate recommended I get the high speed cable to have on hand if/when I ever purchase a 4k disc player. So far it works quite well with a 4k upscaling Blu-Ray player. I guess I'll be set if/when I purchase a true 4k disc player.

Is it backlit or edgelit?

It is edgelit on top and bottom I believe.
