People have been discussing the limitations of 12Gb/s HDMI ports on 4K projectors the past few years and its effect on full 4K HDR support. Not an AVR / pre-pro issue. It may be the latest 4K projectors fully support this. As I said, I've read about it. It's another example of the confusing...

The HDMI specs and device support is confusion. Some recent mid/high end 4K projectors have not supported full 18MHz (is it GHz?) HDMI connection, which limits high frame rate and/or color depth options. I struggle and fail to keep up with these nuances, and it's unclear if or how much it...

Does this matter if you’re not a video gamer? I need a living room AVR (budget-ish, in the $500 to $800 range) that’s used for Netflix, TiVo and Nintendo Switch. I will also need a PrePro for projector / theater that’s might be used for video gaming, but caveat projector. If HDMI 2.1 matters...

Dirac bass module is a paid upgrade per the S&V review linked from the product page. Monoprice Monolith HTP-1 Surround Sound Processor Review | Sound & Vision https://www.soundandvision.com/content/monoprice-monolith-htp-1-surround-sound-processor-review

@John Dirk The Monoprice is more expensive then Anthem (which hurts my head given Monoprice formerly being about massively undercutting prices on commodity tech). Is Dirac better than ARC? Seems like Anthem is a better value. I’m confused by Emotiva only doing one subwoofer channel (9.1.6)...

Which models you window shopping? I’ve seen Dave U’s high praise of Anthem’s ARC. But, the Anthem is costs 35% more than Marantz*, which isn’t cheap itself. My plans to just buy the latest Marantz 7xxx model when I get a 4K projector is now on wait-and-see. * I thought it was 50% more. But...

Are the problems anything more than the niche 8k and VRR HFR modes? That is, are things otherwise fine if you don’t care about videogames? I’m frustrated by the low stock / lack of availability and subsequent high pricing on receivers. But that’s not a performance reason to not buy if I find...

I need a new AVR for my living room, to support 4K and eARC. My old Onkyo TX-SR707 is peak HD :) . I'm leaning towards the Denon 960H, though I've seen a review or two lately saying Yamaha is the way to go for that price-class purchase.
