Ok yeah my GPU is fully capable of maintaining 4k@120Hz, at least wtih Borderlands 4 - and OMG THIS IS AMAZING WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T I DO THIS SOONER?!?!?!

Ah fuck I figured it out, I had tv audio input hidden in the marantz config because I never used that before, and forgot I did that, now all good… duh

Argh for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get eARC working. I see the volume on the marantz goes up/down with the tv remote (CEC is enabled) but no sound, it's supposed to auto-switch to TV audio... ugh well the picture is nice :cool:

Now we’ll see if my new(ish) GPU can do 4K @144 Hz ha ha ha

Yeah, still undecided if I’ll get a new Roku or what… But I got some money for Christmas so I figured I’d opt for the nicer set under the assumption It’ll last a while. Merry post-Christmas to me, yay.

Now I gotta figure out how to hook this into my system, in particular how to get sound out from the TV if I use that as the streaming device, probably optical?

OK, I’m springing for the C5, $1050 at Best Buy, noticeably better than B5 at least from a quick look. Hopefully this will do me for another 15 years lol

I'm off to BestBuy to look at some of these in person, I'm getting lost in online reviews/stats. Of course, lighting there is even worse than my house....

But I don’t know if I care enough for it to matter

Thanks yeah saw that, looking at 55, LG C5 vs B5… not a huge price difference (plus I have some discount at bestbuy) supposedly C5 is a lot brighter, which may be better for my room

Wow looking at BestBuy I guess $1k is at the upper end for a 55"... also I don't even know what the difference is between OLED and QLED. :shocked:

So... it's finally about time to replace my HT display which - I kid you not - is from ~2010, a 45" Toshiba. (I've said many times I'm not that into video tech...) I'm looking for at most a 55", in a room without very controlled lighting, and where I sit maybe 7-8' from the screen. I don't want...

Uh... nobody asked. ;) ok will do

Youtube embed looks fine here...

I have the entire BBT series on Blu-Ray, have watched it multiple times (along with my kids). One of the best ever.
