    Hisense 100+ inch TV's

    And with an AT screen, you can have optimal center channel location, plus there isn't a huge piece of glass between the main speakers.

    Shopping for a budget Projector

    Mine uses pixel-shifting to get to 4K whereas the new models have a native 4K chip. The Epson projectors all use pixel-shifting as well, and the technology is really good - it's hard to tell the difference between pixel-shifting and native 4K. My issue is poor HDR implementation in the early JVC...

    Shopping for a budget Projector

    If you go the projector route, I think you should consider the Epson LS12000. It supports 4K HDR and uses a laser light source so it’s brighter. This model has been around a couple of years so I’m sure you can find one new for less than the $5000 MSRP. If you’re willing to go used, here’s one...

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    I don’t think there’s a free version. AppleTV is the hardware, AppleTV+ is the service. Another friend has been recommending Slow Horses so I think this is the nudge I need to give it a go.

    Godzilla

    We're not huge Godzilla fans, but we saw Minus One last night and enjoyed it. Will most likely purchase on disc, which doesn't happen much for us anymore...

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    The movie Tetris on AppleTV+ is free and very good, like surprisingly good. I also enjoyed CODA. You should give Ted Lasso a shot, too, at least the first couple episodes of season 1. The movie Killers of the Flower Moon will be available for free on January 12th.

    New HVAC

    Hey Botch, If you can manipulate your Lennox thermostat again, try to find Settings > Display. From there, you should be able to turn on a proximity sensor to wake it up. We also have ours set to display a screensaver that mimics the outside weather. It’s not the best photo in the world, but it...

    Media of Choice?

    I'm down to a couple UHD disc purchases a year (if that); usually just rent & stream via the Apple TV 4K. We tried to watch the Top Gun Maverick disc for the second time the other night but the UHD player wasn't cooperating this go-round. Switched to the digital copy and there was a noticeable...

    What are you watching via streaming?

    Bad Sisters on AppleTV+. The theme song alone is worth the price of admission:

    Incredible Covers...

    @mcad64, I think this is the "original" slow cover of the song and it's pretty amazing. For background, Jade, his sister, is standing off-stage and she auditioned earlier but didn't make it through.

    Speaker wire

    Here are my last two speaker wire purchases: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C5R3OG8/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071L37VMR/ The Silverback banana plugs aren't the best quality; I've had to replace a couple of them because they bent. Given that, I recommend the GearIT but be aware...

    Finally 100% in on streaming!

    Just trying to help move the conversation along... I really like the band R.E.M. and Apple Music has interviews with group members about their album remasters. I find that type of stuff really interesting and that sort of user experience is Roon's purpose; just not sure it's worth the monthly...

    Finally 100% in on streaming!

    +1 I'm using Apple Music and really digging it. Is anyone here using Roon and/or Qobuz? I'd be interested in hearing thoughts on those two services...

    What are you watching via streaming?

    Pistol on Hulu: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13823494/ I watched the first two episodes last night and really enjoyed them; soundtrack is awesome. I was just a casual fan of the band and didn’t know about the history and connection with Chrissie Hynde.

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    I sold my Samsung F8500 plasma to a friend about two years ago and gave him a very good deal. He LOVED that TV and went on and on about it in the AVS Kansas City enthusiasts thread. I was about to joke that he should give me more money but then the power supply died, so yeah, glad I didn't do...

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    We watched Dune last night. I really didn't have much interest in it but Angela had mentioned it several times. It was on sale in iTunes for $10 so I went ahead and grabbed it in 4K HDR with Dolby Atmos soundtrack. Wow! Much better than I was expecting and it looked and sounded fantastic. The...

    IsoAcoustics GAIA

    Got these installed last night, threw on Apple Music, and thought "wow, that sounds much better!" I quickly realized I had double-tapped the volume button on my phone (I use Airplay) so it was a couple dB louder than normal. :flushed: Anyway, the GAIA suction feet definitely work, they look...
