Just wall-mounted my 65H9F. It is a beautiful TV. I watched The Avengers on Prime Video on UHD and looked really good. The same for Netflix Pets 2 (regular HD). I need to upgrade the Netflix to UHD tonight. But I noticed a couple of issues: 1. Reviews said this TV was great to watch sports and...

I am upgrading to a Hisense H9F. Do I need to upgrade my HDMI cables? If so, to which version (2.0 or 2.1)? My current cables are several years old. The video sources are an Amazon Fire box DV83YW (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Sling) and the Panasonic DMP-BDT230 DVD player. Thanks!

Do you have a suggestion for a good karaoke forum? Thanks!

I am looking into putting together a Karaoke System for my wife for Xmas. I got a Hisense 65" H9F, SVS speakers and sub and a very old Denon AVR-2803 receiver. I read it is not a good idea to connect karaoke to a good AVR/speaker system, as the speakers could be damaged. But this is for my...

How is Apple TV's Airplay? Is it fast enough to stream Amazon Prime Video with no pauses? Which Sony or Pana player should I consider? The list of Amazon Prime compatible players is outdated at the Amazon's site.

Thanks for the correction suggestions. I do not think that Oppo includes Amazon Prime Instant Video, and I also prefer to spend a little less than that for the Blu Ray player.

I am looking to upgrade my Blu Ray player. Here is what I got: Verizon FIOS Denon AVR 1909 receiver 5 SVS speakers and sub (love'em!) Samsung LN46A750 TV (not smart, but awesome picture) Sony BDP S350 (pretty slow blu ray player) I want to get "smart" features on my system. I am a...

I have not seen 40" plasmas, so that is not an option. Also, I got 3 huge windows in my living room, so lighting is an issue. If there are plasmas on that size, let me know. I have had great experience with Samsung LCDs, but it seems some of you are not big fans. What other brands should I check...

The Oppo units are outside my budget. Seriously considering the Panny BDT230. What about for the TV? I am currently testing the Samsung UN40EH5300F ($450). This is a 40" LCD/LED 1080p 60Hz. The picture looks good, but I noticed defects at the edges on characters when playing the Wii U. I have...

Thanks for the recommendation. I was ready to purchase the Panny BDT230 but I read many bad reviews from regular users at Amazon. The BDT220 is double the price but with a much better review rates. Is there a big difference between these two?

An issue with plasma is size. If you are limited below 42", I think you sre stuck with LCD.

I am replacing my old LCD Samsung 32" and old DVD player. My issue is space, as I am limited to a 38" wide TV due to cabinet space. I know some Samsung 40" LCDs are 36-37" wide, so they could fit. I am open to plasma or LCD/LED, but I am not sure there are plasmas that small out there. I am...

I have the SVS Audio SBS-02-5.1 speakers and I love them. However, they are too big for my bedroom, and I want to get some in-wall speakers. Could you recommend any brands or models I should consider? I do not want to spend more than $1000 in speakers. I would like to continue to use the SVS...

I want to put my Verizon FIOS HD receiver (Motorola HD QIP 71001) on top of my Sony BDP S350. The FIOS receiver is pretty light, but it has a larger surface area than the Sony player. The Sony player is too small to support all "legs" of the FIOS receiver (in order to keep the FIOS receiver flat...

Hello! I need to purchase a couple of HDMI cables, and one will be used to connect an 46" LCD wall-mounted to a Denon AVR 1909. I want to install the HDMI cable behind the dry wall. Do I need to purchase a special HDMI cable for that? I see that Monoprice sells "in-wall installation" HDMI...
