I don't think there is a night mode. I have the sound bar connected to my TV with earc. I mosrly just watch streaming shows and movies on this TV and I also do Xbox gaming. My TV is a LG Nano 65", last year's model. My Xbox is connected to the TV so I use the TV to switch things around. I can...

I've always had this problem where sometimes i can barely hear what people are saying on a TV show or movie, so I have to crank up the volume, but then explosions and sound effects are super loud, even background music is too loud. Is this a calibration issue? I thought maybe it was my fairly...

We're having a new house built and they have a service that will install home theater speakers or just wiring for you. The speakers they are using are from Origin Acoustics, who I never heard of. I don't have a very large budget, maybe $3000 max, so I was thinking of having them do just the...

I agree with partitioning the space a bit, trying to think of good ways to do it, but at the same time I think it would be cool to be able to see the TV from the back of the room if I'm back there. I'm thinking the TV area is going to be roughly a 18x18' area of the room, but with no back wall...

Cool maybe I'll look into them, I think the RSL ceiling speakers would work good for what I need for sure. Are Monoprice in wall speakers any good? I just found them and they seem pretty inexpensive compared to others. They even have an in wall subwoofer that I didn't even know was a thing. I...

Good point. I just don't think we want big bookshelf surround speakers hanging on the wall, but if we could get something small and white so it blends in more then that should be good. We still have to meet with the guy who does the installation so I'll see what they recommend, I think for the...

oh, interesting. would I be better off just using the same side speakers in the ceiling then? Or is there another good brand that will work better? I kinda like the idea of the round speakers on the ceiling for some reason. I was also thinking of having a second pair farther back in the room for...

My wife and I are getting a new house built and I'm going to be taking over the basement and building a home theater / game room. It's probably going to be used for gaming more than movies to be honest. The room is pretty big, 18x38 feet. I was originally hoping to have side + rear speakers, but...

Cool maybe I’ll look into those Harmony remotes.. are they the ones for Logitech? That came up in a quick googling. Looks like there's a bunch to choose from. So I do a lot of gaming both with an Xbox One and with a PC connected with a long HDMI cable (I’ll probably upgrade to a Xbox One X soon...

Thanks. I'll stick to the receiver for connections. I don't really want to run my cable box through my xbox, and I would have to since the TV has less inputs. If I use the ARC to the tv, will I be able to just hit the power button the receiver remote and it will turn everything on? Or will that...

The main reason for me is I want to play on my sofa, but I want a better-than-console experience. I sit at a desk in front of a PC all day long, I don't want to come home and do the same thing. I’m not a competitive gamer that needs a keyboard and mouse, I’m fine using a controller. I have a...

I’m about to buy a new 4K TV, the Samsung 55” MU6300 (waiting to see if there’s a price drop on Friday). We have the 75” version of this set in the living room and really liked it, so I’m going with the smaller one for my game room / man cave. Right now I have HD Plasma that will be going away...

Thanks for the info. I’m looking to replace everything with a sound bar, I was going to get rid of my old receiver and speakers.. the room I’m in is kind of small so I want to reduce the clutter and I wanted to sell my old stuff to put toward the cost of the sound bar and new TV. I was looking...

I’ve been watching some YouTube reviews of some sound bars with dolby atmos and it seems pretty cool. I’m wondering about a few things... If you’re not a huge audiophile, will it sound just as good or better than an average 5.1 system? Or will separate speakers always still be better than 1...

Thanks, yeah that's what I was thinking, I was just curious if there was anything more monitor-like out there. I saw a youtube review of this tv/monitor from LG http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-43UD79-B-4k-uhd-led-monitor It's a 43" 4K monitor, seems nice, but I would prefer at least 55" and...
