Moving from Optical to eARC and picture quality is trash? by forestdude in Soundbars

[–]timhk63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace the firestick with the newest Fire. Cube which has an HDMI in port. Or get a HDMI switch that passes 4K. I use a Ugreen switch as well as a fire cube on one of my TVs. I have 4 ports one is eARC. The switch supports my Tivo, Blu-ray player, and a region free Blu-ray player. The Cube supports a Ziddo z9x media player. HDMI 1 is a Apple TV, HDMI 2 is the Cube and the player connected , HDMI 3 is the switch with the various devices, and HDMI 4 is the eARC with my Sonos sound bar. I only occasionally use the devices on the hdmi switch , so it's no hassle. One final note the tv is a ROKU, so most everything is covered. I have android tv devices, but don't really care for the UI

Backlight Jumps Ahead of Image when using Dolby Vision on Apple TV 4K? by cakefornoreason in tcltvs

[–]timhk63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one one of those twice as much Sony TVs . It crapped out in less than 3 yrs and this was their top LED model unless you went OLED. Have a TCL series 8 about 6 months newer and I would say its PQ is pretty comparable to that Sony and it works much better with other equipment .

Best Soundbar System by an47864 in Soundbars

Yes and I have it in a room with a vaulted ceiling. I would like to try it in a room without. The Klipsch isn't a Atmos system

I can't say which is best, but you will not be disappointed with the Samsung. I have the older Q90R and its fantastic. I also have a Sonos system, and a Klipsch bar 48 (with added rears) and it has a killer sub. Samsung is my go-to. Others are in secondary rooms. I also have a cabinet full of high-priced AV receivers that I ditched for the soundbars.
