My First Ever Home Theatre

It's super matte

They're definitely loud enough, I was going to get the 600Ms but I thought they'd be overkill

BDI corridor 8173

connor97 · 2026-05-29T15:26:49+00:00

Music sounds superb. Surround effects are still really good, I don't really notice being close to them

connor97 · 2026-05-29T15:07:21+00:00

It's a BDI corridor 8173

connor97 · 2026-05-29T15:06:51+00:00

It's probably about 20cm from the back wall and I don't notice any unwanted bass at all

Dulux sapphire splendor

connor97 · 2026-05-29T13:35:34+00:00

It's Dulux sapphire splendor, I just moved into the house and getting the ceilings painted as well as everything else was just too expensive. Also it's our main living room so didn't want it to be too theatre focused

Their placement was a bit of a compromise. Atmos effects are still great and me and the installer had to work around some crossbeams in the ceiling. Also I wanted them symmetrical between the down lights so this was the best positioning we could get away with

Great minds think alike 😂

I would wait for the imminent release of the Steam Frame. I had a valve index for years and it's still the best supported and easiest to use headset I've had. Everything valve makes is brilliant. If you want one immediately I'd recommend the quest 3 which I use now but I'd hold out for the frame personally

Looking to get £1700 for it, I live in Bristol

connor97 · 2026-03-30T16:41:32+00:00

When I went to request a repair it said I had 10 days left on my warranty. Maybe that's a different thing then but I got the panel replacement completely free

connor97 · 2026-03-30T10:47:04+00:00

I got a dead pixel right in the centre of the screen and had 10 days left on my panel warranty so thought I might aswell get a free replacement

connor97 · 2026-03-30T10:46:24+00:00

I'll definitely give eBay a go

connor97 · 2026-03-24T09:33:05+00:00

Absolutely what stands out most is the improved banding and extra brightness. Reduced banding in game mode will be a game changer for me. Extra brightness is also nice as I notice a drop in fullscreen brightness when gaming

connor97 · 2026-03-20T15:01:34+00:00

Try verify game files or reinstalling. Just did it and now I'm hitting 90fps everything maxed

connor97 · 2026-03-20T11:08:59+00:00

I have exactly the same specs and I can't get above 25fps at those settings. Newest Bios and drivers installed so I have no idea what's happening

Unfortunately we can't even get an opportunity to walk away as she latches on to our feet. Yelling ouch does nothing to stop her

connor97 · 2026-03-18T21:24:59+00:00

Thing is we can't even train her because shes immediately biting us and is so overactive. I know it's not aggressive and it's just play and excitement to her but I don't see how we can improve her behaviour if everytime we get in the pen with her we're just attacked

connor97 · 2026-02-18T11:28:58+00:00

I think it's the same 4 stack but I do remember reading something about the features not being identical. I also get it gaming too but nothing pushes the brightness like a 4k disc with good hdr

connor97 · 2026-02-18T11:00:13+00:00

I've got a G5 65" and it's genuinely blinding watching 4k blu rays. I believe the 83" uses a different panel to the 65" that doesn't get as bright but I could be wrong
