    Issues with the Hisense 65H9F

    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!

    Need new HD TV and Blu Ray player

    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...

Is there an adapter I can buy...
