    Soundbar issues? talking too quiet, explosions too loud

    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...

    Is Origin Acoustics any good?

    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...

    Budget in-wall speakers?

    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...

    Is it better to connect components to receiver or tv?

    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...

    Dolby Atmos Sound Bar?

    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...

    Are there any TV-sized 4K monitors?

    I’m going to be in the market for a new 4K TV soon, but as I’m looking around at them online I’m seeing that many have junk that I just don’t want. I don’t need component video inputs, or RCA, or DVI, or USB or Wifi or fancy screen modes or smart anything, not even speakers. All that I have is...

    Connecting a PC to Sony Receiver?

    Hey folks I have a Sony STR-DH770 receiver. I'm trying to connect my PC to it, so I can play games on my TV. But, when I switch over to the PC, there's no picture or sound. My PC recognizes it and I can set it up as a 2nd monitor like normal. If I plug it just right into the TV, it works fine...

    4K TV for gaming PC?

    I'm going to be investing in a new high end gaming PC very soon and I'd like to have it connected to a 4K TV to replace my Xbox, rather than a traditional PC with a monitor and all. I'll be looking for a TV in the 60-65" range. I will mostly be using it for gaming, but I will also be watching...

    4K = Soap Opera?

    Thanks to Amazon's Prime Day we are the proud new owners of a 75" Samsung 4K TV. We got it sight unseen but it was too good of a deal to pass up. I'm pretty amazed by how crisp and clear everything is, just watching regular 1080p shows on cable TV. But most shows are just TOO clear. The lighter...

    USB Wall outlets not for charging?

    Hi folks I wasn't sure what forum to put this in, so I figured this is as good a place as any.. So, I have a big & heavy all-in-1 PC that I would like to mount on a wall. It's one of those 34" curved ultrawide monitors with a motherboard stuck on the back, not an iMac, but similar enouth. I...
