Zint Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I don't see the point of it. Can the blu-ray full HD experience be surpassed? Apparantly 4k and now 8k (good god) can make a diff with quality vs. screen size, as in something that might fill an entire wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yeah, the biggest the screen the more difference it's going to make. Honestly, anything less than a 55" for those resolutions would be dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about half a mil for the 150? No? Then I suppose they are just hitting the general market.But there's no content and wont be for a while.Also, they just came up with their clever little 4k name last year.

At least get a 46" if money and space allows it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unlike our Bluray transfer age, most older movies on film were on 35mm, which will transfer cleanly to 1080, but not 2160. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan95 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Just bought a pioneer vsx-527 k reciever. Confused as to how to play my xbox through it, it has a hdmi input for game but how i get it on my tv then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugachev Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'd imagine another HDMI goes from the reciever to the TV and on the reciever select Game mode or something along that line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 1 HDMI going from the Xbox into the receiver, then another HDMI going from the receiver from to the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan95 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 ahh so the output hdmi slot on the reciever to the tv, gots ya. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan95 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 How can you check on the reciever that it is ouputing dts 5.1 hd? i mean it sounds good but i cant tell just from hearing alone. Plus how far do you put the left n right front speakers from the centre? Which i have put in the middle of the tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Traditional 5.1 is going to only have certain sounds coming from certain speakers. For example, voices/speaking will come from the center speaker, and background noises will usually come from the back speakers, ie the surround effect. It takes some getting to used, and honestly, a lot of people just put it into the extended stereo mode where the same sound is coming through every speaker, which I only do with music and concerts occasionally.

Nosaj Thing Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Should my next TV be Samsung or Sony? I'm really tempted in getting 65+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Upgrading already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Should my next TV be Samsung or Sony? I'm really tempted in getting 65+. If you want the best picture then get a Panasonic 65" VT50 plasma...or if you are prefer LED, and can afford it, get a Sharp Elite 70"......

pugachev Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Im with classicrawkwer, im a Panasonic kind of guy. Still rockin a 2010 Panny P50G20, still looks great. Although probably gonna upgrade this year to whatever new model they get in. Hoping for a 60", seems to be the sweet spot for me.Is 3D content worth it to you guys for home use? I watched a bit on my dads LG 55" smart TV and wasnt very impressed. I enjoy it in the theaters but the effect wasnt very immersive in his place. Maybe because his living room is so huge.

AxlisOld Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Also if you get 3D plasma is a must. LED's refresh rates can't touch it and you need every bit of it if you're cutting your refresh rate effectively in half for 3D. If youre going big, Panasonic or Samsung, they both make 65s (Samsung might make a 64). I have seen the Sharp huge screens, the picture is just not as good as plasma.Ryan, the display on your receiver should say Dolby Digital, DTS, Stereo, or Dolby Pro Logic on it while playing.

Ryan95 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Just connected my xbox up to my reciever and changed the audio output to dolby digital, playing cod and i seem to get more from the back two than the front 3, what speaker levels do you guys have?

I currently own a 55'' LED HDTV Sony Bravia KDL55HX800 so should I really upgrade now or wait for the 4K TVs?Help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
