Decent HDTV but...

I ended up returning because no easy way to turn off the smooth motion. I don't like watching movies with this unless 60fps+ is intended. Makes everything look like I'm watching a soap opera. Most TVs have a simple setting to turn this off. This one, only one HDMI port has a setting and only in a certain display mode. Garbage.
Picture otherwise is solid, even color, no bright spots, etc. Sound I don't judge because it's all terrible on a flat LCD TV.
If you like this smoothmotion 24/7 or only watch sports, sure get this TV. But I've seen 4K TVs now for less than this one. So, why bother?

Included in this special 007 set are the final four films of Roger Moore's stint at James Bond. Moore was the third actor to portray the spy, following Sean Connery and George Lazenby. Included in this release are 1979's Moonraker, 1981's For Your Eyes Only, 1983's Octopussy, and his 1985 finale, A View to a Kill.

Great set, but these are the worst Bond movies.

You might think Moonraker is the worst of these, but oh no. A View To A Kill is the worst performance I've seen from Christopher Walken. This really was the nadir of the Bond franchise. Moore got very long in the tooth, but if you are collecting digital copies and are a completionist, you *need* this set. Why it's still $20+ everywhere is beyond me.

Better than what you get with the base unit.

This is kind of the entry level of the refills for these heads, but it works better than the standard one that came with my unit. Between this and anti-plaque rinses; I'm not sure my teeth have ever been this clean for this long.

No DRM, no nonsense. Brews your drinks in 3 sizes all for $80 often on sale. Since Kuerig doesn't hold the monopoly on their k-cups you can get alternates for cheaper than the Vue/K2.0 cups they released to try to keep relevant.
The machines are still great, but bang for your buck in the home - this one is it.

No one could possibly imagine that the chaos of today was just the beginning, the start to the dark danger of tomorrow. Who could predict that the terrible pillaging done by the Nilfgaardian Empire, the ravaging of the Northern Kingdoms and the uncertainty of these restless, miserable times are mere child's play compared to the otherworldly threat that looms closer than ever? Don the sword of Geralt of Rivia once again — but this time, the rise and fall of monarchs and battles with legendary monsters are nearly fond memories compared to the danger you now face. This time, that which matters most and those dearest to your heart are in peril. It's time to embark on your most personal quest yet to save your loved ones and protect the world from an ancient threat.Wrap yourself in a character-driven, open world based upon Andrzej Sapkowski's seven-book series — a world that teems with life, nonscripted events, unforgettable quests and action-packed adventure. Play as Witcher Geralt of Rivia, a highly skilled monster hunter, as you become immersed in the mature storyline, where every choice you make is meaningful and consequential. As you freely traverse each varied land on foot, on horseback or by boat, you'll experience different ecosystems, unique cultures and diverse atmospheres. Every decision you make along the way not only impacts your storyline, but affects the world around you — deep interactive environments that depend on your actions. Experience a jaw-dropping combat system that combines real-time player skills with RPG mechanics rooted in character development stats that interact with advanced opponent AI. More than 90 combat animations, a wide range of tactical options, an intensely detailed Witcher Senses system and combat with unique and dynamic enemies create an amazingly complex battle experience that mimics the sequence of a true huntsman. Concoct potions, elixirs, pyrotechnic devices and more with a highly intuitive Alchemy system, and create items from advanced crafting mechanics that have more influence on gameplay than ever before. This classic, dark fantasy tale not only provides you with an immersive gameplay experience, but also offers stunning RED Engine-powered graphics and untold freedom that truly transports you from your living room to a breathtaking, cinematic Witcher world.

Best, most beautiful adult RPG ever.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Each game CD Projekt Red makes gets better. They learn from their mistakes and carry over what they do so well. If Skyrim impressed you, this is its superior in almost every way (except if you like to hoard items).
Breathtakingly beautiful vistas, probably the best human animations I've seen in a game and the balance between sandbox and story is perfect. Go treasure hunt, take contracts, build up your skills and arsenal while the man story has many forks in the road leaving to different endings. Combat is much improved over the previous Witchers, and fights can be difficult without being so hard you spend 2 hours replaying the same battle.
This game is for adults - no doubt. Definitely think twice and look at gameplay before buying this game for anyone 16 or under.

Goes on very easy. But since it is a glass cover, it can break easily. This does protect the screen from cracking. A replacement will cost you $5.99 + a stamp or two to send back the broken cover.
Something nicked the side of my screen protector causing it to do that. I don't think I had keys in that pocket but beware this could happen. But $6.33 or whatever is a lot cheaper than $100-200 screen replacement on a iphone 6 plus, so you're much better off with one of these.

It goes on easy, stays on and looks good. Only issue is the hole for the charging cable is only big enough for Apple-brand lightning cables. The thicker third party cable ends do not fit well and will split the bottom like it did on mine.

Great end to one of the best series ever.

7 seasons seems to be a sweet spot for most great series. It doesn't get old, but it seemed like the ideas in this final season were some of the most detailed and interesting of the series.
Really miss this quality of sci-fi television. As for the discs, they are as professional and clean as the other seasons. Can't miss this if you love TNG.

I didn't like the design at first when I saw these on the shelf. I had an older one and thought it looked better in form and function. But this one lights up in an orange light and every button is easy to read. The programming function is simple enough, and even controls Roku. All buttons are working, and the screen gives me additional functions like the * on the Roku remote.
I got this version because I have about a couple dozen AA eneloops around my house so swapping batteries is not an issue. I do think the low battery warning comes a little early, but other than that this remote has been great.

Great movies, what's with this packaging though?

It's just the 3 movies in it's normal blue plastic blu-ray case. No special steelbook, it's just a container. One that doesn't even fit easily on my shelf. Maybe it would be cool to hang on a wall? Not really sure what they were thinking here.
4/5 stars for the movies being awesome, loses a star for not being a cool steelbook and just a container for the normal packaging.

Enjoy a crisp and clear digital TV signal with this Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V C2-V-CJM long-range HDTV antenna that is specially tuned to receive high-quality DTV signals, including UHF and VHF frequencies, from more than 60 miles.
 

Do I need amp for 50' coax?

I'm placing this unit outside on a mast and it will be connected to a four room splitter. Will I need any kind of amplifier to get signals?
Nope, I have this setup split 3-ways and need no amp to get good signal. An amp may stabilize or help receive channels at the edge of its range (about 40-50 miles), but it is by no means requires.

I would like to know which specific cable I need to connect a blu ray dvd player that has a digital coax out to an analog tv with rca connections.

I already have video connected. I just need sound.
Saw your question. You need a digital to analog converter that will convert the digital signal to analog for your TV.

Here's one Best Buy sells through the marketplace:

Hope that helps.
