By the way I find 4K very gimmicky. I can't see the big deal in watching something 4K.

I hope that it will make a come back. I cannot understand why the industry doesn't apply some research to make the 3D glasses work better instead of throwing away the whole technology.

It's too bad that the TV manufacturers are dropping 3D TV. I rather enjoy my 3D experience at home.

Do you think that 3D is a less preferred viewing experience than UHD and newer technologies?

Hi all, I was googling for 3D TV news, and came across a CNET blog declaring 3D TV doomed because Samsung dropped support for the technology. I have two questions. Is this true? If it is true, as experts viewers with a refined and discriminating taste in HT and movies, do you think that the...

Hi, I actually placed my order just after my last post. HK AVR 1710 sounds nice but it doesn't have HDMI 2.0 to handle UHD. I am planning on getting a UHD TV next year and if I understand it correctly the receiver should be to handle the signal.

I just selected the following and they are in my Amazon shopping cart all I have to do to go to checkout. I ended up spending more than $600 but that was to be expected. If anyone has any feedback good or bad please let me know. Thank you Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR636 7.2-Channel Speakers: 2 -...

Hi Sam, Amazon has listed BICHT8C 8-inch for $59.99. Do you think that is a good option for that price? I know I will have to spend more money to have them installed but it may be worth it. I am not sure why they went from $199 to $59.99.

I can raise my budget by a couple of hundred dollars. They will fit better on each side of the TV. Thank you again

Hi again, I just checked the speakers on amazon. Do you think that I could replace one of the pairs with BIC America Venturi DV64 2-Way Tower? Thanks

Thank you Sam, :) I really really appreciate this.

okay, I get it you don't think $600 is enough for speakers.

Hello all, Thank you very much for all your input. Your feedback is very valuable to me. I checked the suggested receivers and they are all compatible with UHD. Now comes the hard question, what is your recommendation for a set of decent but not expensive speakers? Please let me know if this...

Hello experts, I hope you can help me find a suitable sound system for my needs and budget. I am looking for a decent 7.1 or 7.2 receiver & speaker set around $1000. I have a 3D TV and next year I plan to upgrade to UHD, UN55HU8550. I don't have a dedicated HT room. My living/TV room is 11 x...

I expect a new 3D BD player play a relatively new movie. I could understand if the problem was playing some older DVD or older movies. Besides Inception is my favorite movie. It is one those rare movies that I can watch many times. When I called Panasonic customer service they apologized for...

Hi, I returned my player. I had all the firmware updates and it did not help. Regards, Leila

Thank you for your recommendations. I checked Oppo player and it does seem quite top of the line. Unfortunately my current budget won’t allow it. But I will probably buy it when I am ready to switch to a 7.1 sound system. I think I may go with Sony. Thank you again. Regards, Leila

Hi, Thank you for your response. I am returning the player but I need to get something to replace it. I like this player if it wasn't for this problem. So I am still looking for advice from HTF members if I should replace it with the same model, i.e. this is a bad unit, or with something...

I purchased Panasonic DMP-BDT220 Player in September from Amazon and found out in the first week that it had problems when playing "Inception" on blu-ray. It has pixilation and freezing problems in several scenes and when it happens it skips. This happens only for “Inception” blu-ray. I called...

I found an ambiguity in David’s behavior that kept me guessing his motives in every scene and I think that was an intentional point in the story. I think he contaminated Dr. Charlie Holloway for two reasons that had nothing to do with his given agenda which was to help the old man. He did not...

I was talking about Steven Spielburg's 2005 "War of the Worlds".

I saw this movie yesterday. I found the first 40 minutes pretty boring and annoying. But after the movie became more like a conventional action movie with visual effects it became possible to enjoy it. The exposition of the characters couldn’t be more formulaic. The camera work was...

Hello Patrick, Thanks for the information about metacritic.com site I am assuming that's what you mean by “metacritic”. It seems they are having the same sort of split. The viewer rating is 9/10 the critics’ rating is 48. which is probably 48/100. I am just curious if there’s been any other...

I usually think of rottentomatoes.com rating as how a movie is received but this time there seems to be a split between critics’ opinion of this movie and most of the viewers so far. Yahoo.com review lists 10 critics reviews with a C+ average and as of now 709 viewer review with A-. Has this...

I came to this thread to get a discussion of the movie and instead I see that I’ve entered a Russell Crow bashing party. The movie was drab? I thought the whole thing was supposed to have happened during the dark ages of Europe just after Europe lost the crusades and just before the black plague...

This is my wish list (a shortened version of it) in that same order. The top 3 are the ones I want the most. 1)The fisher King 2)The War of the Worlds, steven spielberg 3)Lawrence of Arabia 4)Auntie Mame 5)It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

At the multiplex where I catch all my movies they have assigned all their best auditoriums to Tyler Perry’s new gig. 9 is being shown in one small auditorium without digital sound or projector. I think I will look for another favorite theater.

Hello Robert, Thank you very much for taking the time to further elaborate on this. I don’t think my nephew knows all the details you have listed. I know I don’t know any of it. But now I can show him this information. Thank you again.

Hello, Could you please elaborate why replacing the driver is not a good idea? I am trying to explain this to my nephew who is the one thinking of doing this. Thank you very much for the information. Llappin
