The Jenk posted:I'm considering picking up a Sony KDL46HX853 for myself. It has fairly glowing reviews around the internet (Though they mostly seem to mention disappointing sound, which is slightly worrying) Has anyone got anyone here got any experience with this TV? Get a soundbar with a subwoofer.

Mister Macys posted:Wirecutter says the Sony BDP-S5100 for ~$115. I have last year's mid-price model (BDP-590), and have no complaints so far, aside from how loving wide it is. HFX posted:I have this model. It is pretty good, but occasionally will lockup (usually seems to be in combination with netflix). Fortunately, it is a quick reset by holding down the power button until it does. The top on it prevents you from stacking anything else on it, but hopefully that isn't an issue. It isn't as zippy at the 790, but it is very solid and respectable. I'd put a recommend on it for $115 (which is what I bought mine for on sale back in May). This looks good. Mainly looking for something to watch 3D with. I like that it's wide. Undersized players strike me as weird.

Don Tacorleone posted:Currently looking at the Samsung UNF55F8000. Don't really want the 3d or smart tv features, but seems like most 240hz available in my area come bundled with those. What sucks: didn't come with the full size remote, stand has a massive footprint.

Don Tacorleone posted:Bah Gawd, was I wrong about the 3D - a friend brought over a demo 3D vid, plugged it into the USB port, and I was blown away how cool it looked. Holy poo poo I demand all movies be 3D now. Also, have you set up youtube to play on TV? Pair your youtube account with the TV, then fire up the TV's youtube app. On your computer, when you want to fullscreen a video, there will be another option to watch on your TV. This works on tablets and phones as well, but I don't have anything that fancy.

JayJay posted:So, I ended up buying a Samsung UN46F8000. I was on the edge about this TV for a while because of the cost, but then I got a bestbuy 10% off clearance coupon AND found a 46'' f8000 for $1500 due to having no cables/remote/everything. Turns out, they had the entire f8000 accessory kit, 3d glasses and all. Just no box. I picked up a 2 year plan for $170 and I had a $200 gift card so my total came to about $1350 with tax for this beautiful TV + 2 years protection. 24 months no finance and 5x points for new years, which will earn me another 100 dollars in BB gift cards. I can still cancel the protection if I find a better square trade deal or something, but I had a bestbuy protection plan for an old TV and it went bad at the end of the 2 year period, best buy flat out replaced it with a new model. Was pretty happy with the service.

ijii posted:I know that with Samsung SmartTVs they do have both Netflix and HuluPlus I don't have Hulu Plus, but Netflix and Amazon Prime are great on my Samsung Smart TV. Amazon Prime is really neat with a Kindle Fire HDX. It works kinda like Chromecast.

Avian Pneumonia posted:This might be more of a HTPC question? I recently bought a Dell Venue 11 Pro to handle this. I needed a laptop anyway. Plays my all my 10bit .mkv's over hdmi. I tried miracast, but it sucked. I imagine the Dell Venue 8 would handle it the same, it's only $200

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:What's the general consensus opinion regarding this curved-screen business? Is it gonna be a common thing 10 or 20 years from now, or will flat screens probably come out on top? Or will it only exist in the most expensive high-end models? If your TV doesn't go from flat to curved with a voice command, why bother?

Basket of Kittens posted:I do have the hardware for that, still bulkier than a soundbar, but if this doesn't work out I'd consider your idea and find a way to make more room I think that TV has digital audio out via HDMI/ARC. So connecting to a soundbar via HDMI should work.

Shapur posted:Are the Samsung F8000s worth the price? I'm looking at picking up this UN55F8000. Will mostly be used for watching sports and movies along with a bit of PS4 I love mine. Don't play video games but sports look amazing.

Nutmeg posted:I've found deinterlacing like 1080i60 brings the 24fps to your face depending on what programming is on cable at the time like a black womans Phillipe french dip-looking vagina thats been left in the sun for 4 hours. Really good stuff these days. What the fudge edit: So if my tablet is hooked up to my 240hz TV, my TV says it's connected at 1080/60p. If I play video from my tablet at 24 or 30fps, what kind of magic is my TV doing? Dr Tran fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Jul 8, 2014 |

dundun posted:Anyone having issues with the Amazon Instant Video app on Samsung tvs? It worked fine previously, now it will constantly buffer every 5-10 seconds. I know its not my internet connection because the app works fine on my PS4. On my black remote, the Amazon button doesn't work. Haven't had any buffering problems though.
