![Independence Day: Resurgence [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2016]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5440/5440107_sa.jpg)

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'll admit, I didn't enjoy the 2nd installment of Independence Day. That being said, the 4K UHD disc was natively shot in 4K, so if you're looking for a true UHD source, this is it.
Audio quality and video quality are unmatched. 5 stars.

Very Good Entry Level 4K Media Player
on July 9, 2017
Posted by: TimmyG
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was gifted this 4k player as a gift for Father's Day. I promptly purchased a cheap 4k HDMI cable and handful of UHD Discs and have been enjoying 4k content since. The player itself has a nice clean form factor, pretty quiet during operation, a major difference from last years K Series player. The only knock I really have on this M8500 is the lack of dual HDMI ports (1 input, 1 output). I cannot understand why anyone would choose this unit over the 9500 to save a mere $30, but to each their own. This is a great player, lacking an HDMI output notwithstanding.

Overall Disappointed
on June 5, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I heavily researched the Roomba 900 series vs the Neato Connected prior to making my purchase. At the end of the day, I sided with iRobot, a robotics company who's been in business for over two decades longer than Neato, with a technology background.
I must say, I'm extremely disappointed in the mobile application. It operates on dated, 2.4ghz WiFi bands only (5 ghz NOT supported), which has proven to be a much more serious issue for my household than I'd anticipated. The application is extremely limited in it's overall support of the 900 series devices, which is a huge disappointment as at the time of my purchase, the 900 series were the only robotic vacuums supported by the application. Aside from the WiFi and Mobile Application limitations, the robot itself performs admirably on my hardwood floors, frequently filling the dust bin with my golden retrievers pet dander. The bin size is small, but to be expected in my opinion. Battery life is average, at best, but I'm content with saving the $200 over the 980 and sacrificing the extra 20-30 minutes of battery life and carpet boost technology - literally the only major differences I'm aware of between the 960 and 980 series units.
The unit cleans well, which at the end of the day is what matters. The only reason I'm not rating the unit higher is because the price is simply not justified given the lacking mobile application features and support combined with the dated WiFi connection limitations.
Overall, I'd say if you have the chance to scoop up the 960 at a price point below $450, it's a solid buy. If not, look at Neato, or wait for the next model Roomba's which should be coming through the pipeline soon.

Best Value True HDR 4K Set
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: TimmyG
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'd kept my eye on the KS8000/8500 for nearly six months before finally pulling the trigger. I'm glad I did. This set is extremely bright with the best blacks you'll find on an LED lit tv in the entire 2016 model lineup.
HDR gaming and video playback is incredible, as expected. The universal "smart remote" is a fantastic upgrade, despite running my AV gear via Harmony Elite - it's nice to have a fallback remote which my wife or 4 year old daughter can easily use to operate the set, and the handful of components which now automatically power on with the tv.
Overall, my only complaint is a very minor light bleeding effect, isolated to a few small edges of the screen. Only noticeable in a truly dark room with no lighting whatsoever, and truth be told, not entirely unexpected for an edge lit set.
The 2016 KS line is getting better reviews than the 2017 MU line. Let that sink in for a minute! Buy with confidence while these are still available!
