    Trying to Play PC Games at 4K and 120Hz on my Denon AVR-X4700H.

    The Denon menus have Standard and Enhanced settings for HDMI connections and need to be set to Enhanced to get the full bandwidth enabled. Denon defaults all the HDMI to Standard out of the box.

    A lot has changed since I first posted this thread. As far as I can tell, no one cares. But I do and here's the unboxing video I put together of the first piece of the new system. The Cocktail Audio X45 High Resolution Audio player and DAC.

    About to build the most basic high quality 2 channel system from scratch. Video series to follow

    As of this moment, several changes to the design have taken place. I've cross posted this topic with other AV Forums and have been getting lots of input the psat several days.

    About to build the most basic high quality 2 channel system from scratch. Video series to follow

    Now that I'm done with the 11 channel Home Theater and 9 channel Gaming room, I've decided to tackle a basic 2 channel listening room. My wife and I are about to convert a spare bedroom that rarely ever gets used and is mostly just a storage room into a full fledged listening room. I posted...

    I'm trying to give away free codes but no one seems to want them.

    Just an FYI, I have more codes to give away on my channel in the next couple weeks. I'll try to get a batch posted by the end of the weekend and another batch by the end of next week. Only subscribers with alerts are notified of the giveaways!

    I'm trying to give away free codes but no one seems to want them.

    I haven't been told by a single person that they redeemed a code. I've given away codes many times in the past and to this day I haven't received a single thank you or acknowledgement that the code was used. I just assumed no one wanted them.

    I'm trying to give away free codes but no one seems to want them.

    I put together a video on my youtube channel to celebrate hitting 1000 subs by giving away codes for 15 movies. I haven't received a single word from anyone on any of my social media platforms indicating they are getting used. Maybe digital codes are crap and most everyone knows it? I'll post...

    My Home Theater and Media Room walk through tours!

    I've been asked by those following my home theater build videos over the past couple years to post a current and complete walk through video. I finally got around to documenting the completed basement build. It took me over two years from design to final build of what you see here and I did it...

    Star Ceilings... Painted vs. Fiber optics

    I'm sure my "from scratch" fiber optic star ceiling isn't elitist enough for most but I put together a video on how I built it. Maybe those more budget minded DIY folks looking through this thread will get some ideas from it. I wanted to paint on the stars but also wanted to use the ceiling as...

    Budget home theater in a small room. Aucustic dampeners.

    I have a video on how I made my cheap panels that eliminated slap echo if you're interested. They are still great "acoustic" panels. I say slap echo because people have gotten completely bent out of shape because of the materials I used with almost the same results.

    How do you explain your love of physical media in an era of streaming?

    I'm not about to read through 14 pages and hundreds of comments to address the original topic so I have no idea how badly it veered off tangent, if at all. Physical media is your license for the content. You can transfer it if you so chose to. Ownership means you have the legal right to give...

    Video Game Pet Peeves

    Unskippable cutscenes. Large open worlds filled with pointless side and fetch missions resulting in nothing more than extended development time and costs. Looking at you Far Cry. Quick Time Events. Call of Duty campaigns knocking you on your azz and someone else lending you a hand to get back...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ Halloween II -- in 4k UHD

    I watched these and they were great. I did an unboxing video of the M.Myers discs below. Amazon refused to post my reviews publicly even after I gave the titles 4 stars and raved about them but briefly mentioned the poor handling from Amazon shipping which is documented in my video. All my...

    Halloween (franchise discussion)

    I just watched all the films too and find this list to be accurate. What I noticed most about the entire experience is Michael Myers is less the star of the show with very littles screen time. However, Halloween Kills was a remarkable change in form as it actually starred Myers front and center...
