    Hello old friends!

    Hi there, I guess I will join the few other posts I have seen in saying hello as returning members who have been dormant. I used to participate all the time, and I gained much knowledge from this group in my home theater journey as well as enjoyed many lively discussions about all things film...

    Help me buy my next TV

    I do love Sony televisions and owned one for many years, however, when I bought one of their newer LCD’s I was disappointed and actually ended up with my current Samsung. On my shortlist now, I actually have a Sony 49’ that I am interested in seeing in person.

    Help me buy my next TV

    Hello all, I’m going to be in a position where I will have to buy a new display in the next month or two. The display will be for my home theater and will be replacing a Samsung 46 inch purchased in 2012 or so (the model escapes me but it is a 1080P, 3D, smart tv and has done well). I have...

    What are you playing right now?

    I decided to pick up GTA IV again and replay it. I beat it years ago but my thoughts then still hold up: I hate the car handling and driving but love the city, story and characters. I was playing RDR2 and though I enjoy it, it is just too slow a pace for the story for me.

    Why do people think video games are a waste of time?

    Edwin, I love this comment. RVs are a huge money sink and resource sink if you consider fueling it. The way I see it, you like what you like and shouldn’t need to convince someone why I like something and why it has worth. I haven’t done gaming as much as I did in the last generation, that’s...

    The Xbox Series X, Holiday 2020

    it’s certainly an interesting premise and promise that they lay out, but the big place where Microsoft failed With XB1 is in exclusives. Great hardware, but very Limited exclusives that made use of it. Don’t get me wrong, I have a XB1X and I love it, I also have a PS4 Pro, and a Switch, but for...

    How are you dealing with life now with the Covid-19 virus situation?

    I live in a college town in FL. The better part of the last few months has been spent confined at home as I have pre-existing conditions as does my girlfriend. However, I have made some excursions out along the coast in a fashion such to mitigate risk. No Disney trips or cruises anytime soon...

    My Bad Back

    Johnny, sorry to hear of your back problems and I hope you can get some relief. the last time I took opioids was after a major surgery a few years back, I was stupid and messed up the dosage by accident, and so I spent the whole night awake, itching and sweating. I felt as though I was on...

    XB1X HDMI connection issues

    hi guys, I just bought an XB1X tonight and am trying to connect it to my 46 inch Samsung 1080P screen (unfortunately the model number escapes me), and my Yamaha RX-V481 receiver. I would like to do this very similar to how my PS4 Pro is where it is connected to my receiver, receiver to tv and...

    HDMI CEC set-up

    Hello everyone been a while since I have been on HTF actively posting but I think this is still the right place to post this. Basically I recently got myself a Yamaha RX-V481 open-box at HH Gregg's demise to upgrade from my old RX-V465, so far I love my purchase but I am struggling to make HDMI...

    Should I upgrade my receiver?

    Hey all, I recently had to upgrade my speakers after having two of my old HTiB speakers die. I upgraded to Klipsch Quintets and am pairing them with a Polk Subwoofer. Currently I am pairing everything with a Yamaha RX-V465...

    Torn Samsung LED UN46D7000 vs Samsung Plasma PN51D7000

    I am a new plasma owner and I don't believe that I could go back to an LED. The LED set which I owned suffered from serious visual issues such as flashlighting and clouding and I was able to exchange it and move to a Panasonic plasma. The difference is like night and day. Hands down the...

    Plasma or LCD, which is right for me?

    I swear that I'm living in the world of make-believe. The tv performed great last night and I was thoroughly pleased. This morning the tv worked great. This afternoon I turned it on and I have developed vertical green lines down the left side of the tv!!! Sorry for my rant. I'm just...

    Plasma or LCD, which is right for me?

    Sears authorized the replacement of my defective LED and I took delivery this afternoon of a Panny Plasma (TC-P46ST30). Watched a little blu on it and I'm pretty impressed.Out of the box, the set looks much much MUCH better than my LED ever did. More detail, better viewing angles, better...

    Plasma or LCD, which is right for me?

    Update: Had my 3rd service appointment for this tv yesterday. The technician basically confirmed my opinions on the set and agrees with me that the flashlighting and clouding should not be this bad after the panel was replaced. he went in to some system info type menus and the ID#'s for the...

    Plasma or LCD, which is right for me?

    As I've said before my receiver is only two years old and is fairly current. I don't see any real advantage to a 3D capable receiver if I can do the same thing through a standalone player. I think that when the time comes I might end up with a Panasonic DMP-BDT310. The service appointment...

    Plasma or LCD, which is right for me?

    Oops, I meant Yamaha RX-V465. I purchased it in June 2009 after my Sony receiver died. According to the specs I saw it should support HDMI 1.3a. I will definitely be looking at BlueJeans Cable when the time comes. I probably won't be setting myself up with 3D equipment (if they let me move to...

    Plasma or LCD, which is right for me?

    I looked up my receiver (Yamaha RX-V456) and it looks like it supports HDMI 1.3a. From the sounds of it, I would require 3D glasses, high-speed HDMI cable, and would need a dual hdmi 3D BR player. One HDMI cable would be fed into the tv from the player and the other to the receiver? Is this...

    Plasma or LCD, which is right for me?

    Another question concerning plasma comes to rise; what about heat output? is it unbearable or does it make the viewing room swelter? My boss brought this up to me today in mentioning his plasma and it got me to thinking about it. Is it really that big a deal? my tv rests atop an open-air...

    Plasma or LCD, which is right for me?

    I think the discussion in this thread has gone a good way to convince me that the TC-P64ST30 plasma will be the way to go in the long run if I would like the best picture with superior screen uniformity. My experience with LED tech so far has shown me that they just haven't nailed the tech down...

    Plasma or LCD, which is right for me?

    Ron, I will be purchasing through my local Sears since that is where my current tv came from and I must due to warranty requirements. The plasma you have referenced is the exact model which is of interest to me. I honestly don't need 3D and in general am not terribly interested in it...

    Plasma or LCD, which is right for me?

    Hey all, I am currently looking for a new tv to replace a defective Sony LED which I have. The room which this tv will be placed in has a large window in it with blinds that are open in the day. However, most of the viewing on this set will be done at night with a little ambient light in...

    Replacement for KDL46EX710?

    I actually am considering a Samsung UN46D6300, it is in the right price range, the right size, and has a comparable feature set. Any opinions or thoughts on this model? I don't have any experience with Samsung but many think they make a decent looking tv.
