    Panasonic UB820 Vs Nvidia Shield Pro for streaming 4K movies

    Hi Ken do you find the streaming video quality on an apple TV 4K better than the streaming via the built in TV apps ie Netflix app on the LG Web/OS compared to same app on the Apple TV? Curious and I recall somewhere your TV is an LG OLED, excuse me if I m wrong on that.

    Samsung TV, not so great as expected !

    Lack of 8K content as pointed out.  On an 8K TV you are watching upscaled 1080P and 4K content.  Native 4K content on a 4k TV will have the image quality edge on 4K upscaled to 8K But if you spend 800K on a TV can image quality ever meet expectations?

    Combining a stereo integrated or pre amp into Home theatre setup.

    The key is the matching between the Power amplifier or integrated amplifiers input sensitivity with your AVR's output For example My Classe power amplifier has an input sensitivity of 1.65 volts to achieve rated output (300Watts) My Denon AVR on the pre outs for the LF and RF channels is less...

    Buying a new TV in 2021 - any advice?

    Its the same when the lights are not turned up (ie dim) but I never watch in a proper dark room, ie all lights off As the room gets darker then the increased number of local dimming zones in the FALD panel starts to play a role, ie Q80 has the edge on Q70 and Q90 over Q80 etc. Dark room is...

    Nvidea shield Apple TV for the win

    As far as I am aware Netflix do not broadcast uncompressed Audio and that includes Atmos.  Netflix broadcast DDD+ and not Dolby TrueHD.  Thus regardless if Netflix app is on an external device (Shield etc) and the device is run through an up to date AVR that supports the kitchen sink and does...

    The day has arrived!

    Hi, I have had thoughts about this for a while (as well as Zidoo a competitor) from what I gather Nvidia shield, Apple TV 4K devices are primarily media streamers while these are primarily media players using your stored media/ files but can stream but that is not their primary function...

    Buying a new TV in 2021 - any advice?

    I have a 65' 2019 Q80R and can echo that I have no complaints re black level performance and its a very bright TV which means it's a great watch when the lights are up as well.

    Media Streaming Devices

    Continuing my reply re media streaming devices above I left off an important "feature" when looking at video performance that of frame rate matching. Currently the Apply TV 4K 2021 is ahead of the pack by far there, and again no investment in the Apple Eco System at all on this side.
