I mispoke in an earlier post, I found a 151FD, not a 150, for $300. It has 8,023 hours on it. Pretty low for a 10 1/2 yr old TV. My 5020 of the same age has 18,700 on it. The 151 has 70% less power ups than my 5020. If it lasts me 3 yrs, Id call that a win for a used TV.

What I mean by "standard" is when everything, or 90% of all programming, all BD, all cameras and everything else is 4k or higher and the cable company doesnt charge you extra for that service. About the only thin I use 4K on is my drone and I do the editing on my PC. Even though my TV doesnt...

Thanks for the info. I found a Panny VT60 model for $400, but it had already sold. For a 3-4yr old set, that was a deal, but oh well. I ended up finding an Elite 150FD 60" for $300. For me, right now, 4k just isnt worth it right now. Im like you, Im happy with 1080p. Maybe in 5-8yrs Ill get a 4k...

No, you can usually get an idea of how well something has been taken care of by the part of town its in, but ultimately it boils down to how they keep their house. If its messy, despite being in an affluent part of town, and there are fingerprints all over the screen and dust all over it, I...

I also found a Pioneer Elite Pro 60" 150FD for $400. Thats an old set, but is that worth it for the price?

I actually found a TC-P60VT60 much closer to me for only $400! If he still has it, and it comes from a good home, I may pull the trigger on it. That seems like a really good deal.

I had the guy selling the model I mentioned check the hours and he sent me screen shot of it. It has 5700hrs on it. That seems pretty low for a tv thats rated, I believe, for 100,000hrs.

You misread:), that was the stand for that model tv for $225! The other one for $800 is the starting bid and has been re-listed several times because it doesnt sell. The TV im looking at was purchased brand new in the Spring of 2015. $900 doesnt sound bad for a $3800 display thats not even 4...

Im kind of partial to plasmas and want to go the way of a used display instead of a new one. Ive found a Samsung PN64F8500 for $900 that was purchased new in 2014. Im concerned about the Y sustain boards that Ive read about. Should I even worry about that? Is it like any piece of electronics you...

I have 4 Onkyos sitting in my garage becasue theyre POS!! I love those AVR's, but every single one of them, in 3 different households have blownup, failed to work, lost outputs/inputs or something. I will never buy them again.

I know this has been asked a million times before, and I even searched a little for it. But I want a truly honest answer. I have an A/V RCVR which supposedly kicks out 140w per ch and an 5 channel amp that kicks out 200w per. Ive read so many testimonials about how their soundfield is so much...

After reading around online, it seems that HDMI ports arent really protected even with home surge protection. Is that true? Ive seen many posts of folks with full home protection that didnt protect the HDMIs.

Thanks. Yes, thats the reset I did. I was just under the impression it wipes the unit clean as if its new from the factory. I went ahead and found a guy in town that upgraded his 4311. I got it for $350, which is about what I would pay for the repair+shipping. I looked at the 3400s. They seem...

Thanks dude.

When you do factory reset, I noticed it still had all the inputs assigned and it still played in reset mode. Im using my 4311 as a preamp and have a power amp running the speakers. So shouldnt a reset to factory make it to where its not in the preamp mode and nothing play? You mentioned the...

Thanks for your help. Can you ballpark a whole house surge protection install? Its a small home, nothing fancy single floor.

Yeh, Thats the conclusion Im coming to. In the meantime though, I think I thought of a work around. Cant I use the existing HDMI in ports as they are for audio, and then use my video component out port for the video to my TV?? I would still get 1080p, but I am aware of certain security features...

OK, I successfully saved my config file and did a reset, then re-loaded my settings. Still no picture. However, at one point while logged into the 4311 on my PC, I noticed under the info tab>HDMI that my monitor 2 was showing all of the resolutions supported etc as if it was outputting a signal...

I guess a better way to ask would be, what does the HDMI have to be set to for it to output from one of the two ARC ports? I know how to assign the inputs, but if I remember correctly, there were some other settings for monitor 1 and 2, but what should they be set to for the receiver to...

Before I do a reset, how do I double check my HDMI settings to ensure I have the two HDMI outs on the correct setting? I know how to do it on the TV display, but how using the receiver only display? Also, int there a way to save your settings, then after a reset, restore them? Thanks for yalls...
