I'm cross posting this from Reddit as this information is super useful for those who may wander in thinking they can just get a projector instead of a TV and it will be an easier option. Projectors are not ideal as TV replacements. Most people think that you can just plop a projector down and...

So, this isn't a question I see here often, but I figured I'd post about this as it is a question which is incorrectly listed all over the internet. If you search Google for 'outdoor daytime projector use', then the very first hit I got said the following lie: "If you have a high-quality...

I've been reading some reviews of this product, and it is clear that I am missing out on the ultimate in quality from my CD collection. It is clear that unlike all the other snake oil products out there, this is one product that truly does work and delivers results that others simply have been...

Just throwing out a question that may or may not have a solid answer, but I am dealing with a existing home theater and I'm trying to find out what speakers may have been in the wall of the existing space. The opening at all 7 speaker locations (large theater) is 11" wide by 28" tall. I'm not...

Anyone have any experience using or listening to WiSA speakers? As an installer, I must admit that I don't typically recommend wireless solutions, but there is an upcoming project I'm looking to bid which has a pretty ideal scenario to avoid running wires around the room. Install a WiSA...

So, my 64" Samsung plasma died. This wasn't good news as it was a pretty penny when it was purchased. But, it wasn't the end of the world as I had already put it into storage for a couple of years after we swapped it out for a 85" Samsung LCD in the family room. But, a couple of weeks ago I...

https://www.cnet.com/news/mini-led-is-here-how-smaller-lights-could-lead-to-big-tv-improvements/ For those who can't afford the OLED bandwagon, this looks like an interesting step forward in LCD technology by jumping LED backlighting up to over 1,000 zones. Paired with the generally...

I've balked over the years at media servers. I've put XBMC on my computer, and then Kodi, and it has proven to be.... difficult. Just about two months ago I decided to give Plex a try. For those who have a couple of hours free and some media on your computer, it's worth a try. The download...

What's up with that? It seriously is something I see all the time these days and I don't really get it. Why do so many current AV receivers advertise a 7.1 or 5.1 yet they have a long string of binding posts on the back that don't match up to the number of channels of amplification that they...

It could be some sort of coincidence that I was looking to see if I could find some of their good quality 14/4 bulk speaker cable and suddenly I felt like the entirety of their behemoth industry had exploded into nothingness. While there is certainly no love lost for me on this, it was...

Anyone have any thoughts on why a Denon X4000 would not be producing audio from a specific source during playback? Details! I have attached a drawing of the setup as I believe it currently stands. This was designed by myself, but installed by others, in another state... go figure. All audio...

I've always been somewhat moderate with what I expect from audio in any space. Give me a typical Denon mid-level receiver and I'll never have it overheat and power off on me. Unfortunately, I have a client who is looking for club-like levels of sound in his basement. He originally said "I...

What the heck - I've been around here for more than a little while and haven't posted a review, but I thought that these cables were worth the time to write about as people are so gung-ho on the other products and companies out there such as Monoprice and BJC. Time for some well deserved props...

Alright, this is almost definitely an IE 10 issue under Windows 7, but I have several PCs which recently were updated to IE 10, and suddenly I can't hit return on these forums. I have used the PCs in various locations, and it is consistent, and strictly an issue with IE10... and THESE forums...

Anyone know of a single freeware program which can batch resize rename and resize photos? I don't need both things to happen at once, but would like to perhaps specify a target folder for a resize as I don't necessarily want original photos to be overwritten. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well, in the waiting for the big brown truck category, since we moved over the Summer I have been without a projector setup. Not quite sure how I moderate the forums at Projector Central when I don't even make claim to owning a projector at this time, but I am happy to say that it is all about...

This past year I moved. My old home was pretty well setup, but didn't have any land and with young kids it was time for a new home a lot closer to my office. So, here I am, less than a mile from my office, with some land for the kids, but my old home A/V system left behind. You know what...

6-1x0+2/2=? Seems easy enough, but looking at responses on Facebook, over half the answers are wrong. I see how people get it wrong, but then they argue when you suggest that they are wrong. The best is when people say "The answer is (insert wrong answer) you F....... - only a moron would...

Panasonic chairman plans company shift away from TVs For those who remember when Pioneer announced it was giong out of the TV business most people thought that it just couldn't be true. Well, we certainly aren't talking about the latest Kuro displays anymore, and we haven't had a TV so...

Just bought a house, will be back online in about six years. 16+ zones of distributed audio being added, HD video distribution, intercom system, remote door locks, all the fun stuff. Going broke and living behind the rack for quite a while. May not have power, but that TV will look...
