Ah, so I was reading that HDMI 2.0 will have HDCP 2.2, and that the content providers will require HDCP 2.2 for their 4K content (streamed and optical). I guess it all kinda makes sense now. I wonder how DP will upgrade to the new HDCP spec or if it has already.

Just wondering why you didn't put the TV on the "North" wall? It seems like you are really limiting your sound stage and general aesthetics on the "East" wall off the cabinet. Anyhow, you should post this here: http://www.avsforum.com/f/19/dedicated-theater-design-construction You will get a...

I think it has more to do with HDMI has the HDCP protection system that needed to be carried forward. I know DP allows for it as well but was it well implemented? It was probably a lot about DRM. You could transition by staring with both DP and HDMI ports on new devices as it phases to DP...

Yep and to conform to Rec 2020 format (upgrading from 709) which is true UHD. Still miffed that HDMI 2.0 bandwith cops out at 8bit color. I remember watching an old video of a Samsung exec touting 4k/UHD and that its not just about the resolution, itll have 12 bit color, blah blah. That got...

Ya, poor choice of words. I meant more to say everyone has their tastes in AVRs and brands, and its just not an area that's worth going into for OP as perhaps there are key features he wants (eg, perhaps he wants really good room correction and believes in its uses), but the rest is personal...

I'd rather get a 65" ST than a 60" VT, for the size, unless there is something on the VT you really think stands out. The ST is getting all kinds of value/performance kudos so its not like you are making a big sacrifice for size. But you're a panny fan you know the differences. I have a...

Ya. I read the delay was mostly Apple fighting for DP instead as the TV connector standard (and lost). I'll be interested to see how long HDMI 2.0 mobos start to appear (esp HTPC friendly ones). Would love to see a BRIX or the refresh of Intel NUC have that. Although, argh, I'll also have to...

Hey all, I'm trying to find a microphone where I do presentations on webex, etc. I'd really like a USB lapel microphone (no stands). I have a decent lapel ones like the AudioTechnica ATR-3350 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, which is OK, but it is stereo input jack, thus must be...

If your goal is a gaming box at high settings, for hardware at least you are best served in the SFF systems forum.

Hard to say without seeing pics/layout. If you have carpet you can punch a whole where it leads to the wall and then punch a whole where you hang the speakers. Or the crown molding trick is common and good. +1 for mentioning CL2 --- I consider that a must. If you are buying a new house I...

What is the make/model of the remote you are using? I don't recognize it in the dark. A URC?

You don't need to run slides (burn it in) unless you plan on calibrating it; essentially people run slides for 200 hours or so to get the phosphers adjusted (they will shift), and then have a calibrator come in and do the settings once everything is settled. Otherwise if you do it right away...

I can tune to my PRIME with XBMC, using STRM files. I have to say though that the video quality is subpar in the player for TV. Not sure why, but scrolling text like news captions do not look properly rendered and get horizontal lines. Any other player is fine. I went back to WMC for that...

Ya, I forgot about the catleaps. I just wish I had the deskspace at home for a 27"!
