    My head is gonna explode, HELP!

    Is there one place I can get all the basic info? How does it all go together? I know SOME of it. I'm about to buy a new TV but now I have to figure out what works with what.

    Do I need to buy (all) new equipment?

    Ok, all great info, thanks everyone. I've ordered new cables from Monoprice and looking at new TVs at Costco. Probably 65" Samsung QLED less chance of burn-in I believe, even though I'm not a gamer, still leery. I know that's a WHOLE new ordeal. There are several. Now I've got to go down THAT...

    John, The cables are old yes, but the issue persists if I plug the ROKU streamer dongle directly in the TV. Well THAT'S good to hear! Thanks.

    Do I NEED a graphics card?

    Thanks guys. I think I'm ok but I need to do some research on sources and whether or not my TV can handle HDR. It's a bit older so probably not.

    Do I NEED a graphics card?

    Kodi, Neflix (website), Acorn.tv, VLC, YouTube. Stuff like that. Just wondering if I can get any 4k video from any of those sources and from the CPU graphics. I know YouTube has some 4k material and maybe Netflix too. I don't know what the hell I'm doing obviously. Thanks again.
