Do I want QLED? I'm seeing bad and good reviews of it. My budget will be $1000 firm and I'll be replacing a Samsung 60 inch HD. I don't care
how "smart" it is, as I want quality PQ.

https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/warning-on-85-tvs.400344/
400344invalid@example.com (dishdude)dishdudeShort story - Warning to watch the size of the feet on these 85" TVs. I never thought to check and today I learned most media cabinets/TV stands are 16" deep, but the feet on the 85" Sony are 18".
Long story - Costco had an 85" LG in this month's sales flyer for $1099. I have sworn off LG products due to reliability concerns, but it was bundled with an extended warranty that gave it 5 years of coverage and this was too good of a deal to pass up. Get to Costco and I am told they had to pull...

I took advantage of this to get a refurbished Denon AVR to replace the 10 year old AVR-E400 model I mentioned in the DirecTV forum. Hopefully it works with the DirecTV DVR for longer than the last receiver did. At least I was able to save an additional 25% off the replacement!

383658invalid@example.com (Ilya)IlyaI am spending a lot of time listening to music in headphones lately, so I am thinking of getting a dedicated DAC/Amplifier that would also be capable of decoding Hi-Res Audio. Currently my main source of music is TIDAL, which in addition to its lossless CD-quality streaming and downloads now offers MQA Masters (typically at 96 kHz / 24 bit). In order to take full advantage of that audio format though, you need MQA-compatible equipment.
I am looking for something relatively portable...

410642invalid@example.com (FredrickJohnson1000)FredrickJohnson1000Hello Everybody,
Recently we upgraded our camera to a Sony SRG-A40 4K PTZ Camera because it supports 3G signal using 3G SDI extender. This great and all, but, upon switching to full 1080p 60hz the signal kept dropping resulting in a pixelated flashing screen. We are currently utilizing multi mode fiber. The distance between the points is around 600 meters which is close to the optical extender's signal limitation. Are there any optical signal boosters so we do not require...

410552invalid@example.com (Foxbat)FoxbatWell, I don’t know about you, but I have a Harmony Universal Remote and it works great for controlling all the devices in my Home Theater. The problem is the Harmony remote we have is old, experiencing polymer degradation (i.e., its soft-touch case is “sticky” to the touch), and it’s on it’s second replacement LiIon battery. At some point the battery will die again and I’ll be bringing out all the old remotes from hiding.
Also, our tech-adverse friend loves the Harmony 580 (I think that’s...

My Chromecast with google tvs are getting pretty old, and my shield tv is clunky to move around when I need it, so I decided to try one of the new Onn 4k pro devices that was just released.
Installed it today and have been playing with it. Best I can compare it, it's similar to a fire tv cube with google tv instead of the fire OS, at much lower price.
Seems a good bit faster than the...
