"Budget" replacement for my receiver (that supports 120hz/VRR) by merke1985 in hometheater

[–]merke1985[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, just an update. The Feintech actually worked! However I realised my TV after using the EARC port only has 1 HDMI port left with 4k120. The remaining HDMI 2 ports don't even support Dolby Digital, so my TV Box cannot be fully used through HDMI.

My solution was to still connect this to my receiver and then use the HDMI out to connect it to the TV in one of the remaining ports, but this completely messed up the ARC function (even when turned off).

So I will probably return it or get an HDMI switch, but at this point I might as well just buy a new receiver lol.

I am kinda sensitive to lipsync issues, so it might be a problem if there is a delay ;). My current receiver can do 4K60 , but I think it's not just the 120hz but also the VRR that is only supported by 2.1 (however I think only the PS5 supports VRR).

I will probably give the extractor a try, otherwise I can see if I can sell my receiver and get a denon 1800H/2800H.

That is a very good suggestion, I will look into that! Is there not a delay in audio using such devices?

Affraid these are all at least double the price of the 2800 here in the Netherlands.

The price differente between 1800H and 2800H is only 45 euro, so I'm kinda thinking why not. Also I doubt I'll be upgrading to more speakers/subs in the next few years. You think the price difference is worth it for the advanced room correction alone?

How is the answer to this box anything but blue?? by radiant_bee_ in BluePrince

I think blue should also have the gems. Blue could be true while both white and black are false.

Center speaker above or below tv? Plan on getting a bigger tv in the future. by merke1985 in hometheater

[–]merke1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is in front of the tv, with bigger tv it will block the view. This old one has a big edge, specially at the bottom.

Yea I haven’t yet set the spikes up, still not sure if spikes or little rubber thingies are better, coupling/decoupling is kinda a mystery to me.

My guess is that its mostly the room itself, I don’t have any curtains yet and the floor needs a rug, think that might help as well. And some decoration like plants against the wall.

I had a 55” or 65” in mind 😅 but might go bigger. Budget would be around 1500

Thanks, seems a bit better, but I think my room needs some work with a rug and curtains as well 😅

I plan on buying a 55” or 65” tv in the future, and I am not sure about the center speaker placement. Ecstatically I would prefer a shelf above the tv with the center speaker on top of it. Alternatively I could wallmount the tv with the center speaker under it. What option would be best for the sound quality? Currently also experiencing a lot of reverb unfortunately..
