    eARC required for Dolby Atmos?

    I thought about it, but hadn’t had the chance to do that when the drywall guys showed up. My wife likes to rearrange too much for any kind of fixed system, so it’s probably better this way 😂 I’m still super happy with what I ended up with, it sounds absolutely amazing.

    eARC required for Dolby Atmos?

    I’m really very impressed with the LG system I ended up with. Very good surround performance and it gets punishingly loud, while staying very clear. I watched the Tiger tank ambush scene in Fury, my youngest daughter had the shit scared out of her by the sound of that high velocity 88mm Tiger...

    eARC required for Dolby Atmos?

    I ended up trading the Sony in for the LG S90QY and the separate rear satellites. It sounds quite a bit better, and it also works, so that’s good too 😂

    eARC required for Dolby Atmos?

    Just tried some more troubleshooting today with no luck. Gonna exchange this thing for the JBL 9.1.4 system that’s roughly the same price. This is so frustrating. My first ever soundbar was a Sony A300 I think, whatever it is I bought it new in 2007 and it still works today. I’m giving it to...

    eARC required for Dolby Atmos?

    Just an update, I grabbed a Sony HT-A5000 and SW3 subwoofer today. Got it home, hooked it up and life was great. Then an hour later, disconnects every 20-30 seconds. I can’t watch a movie without it going to a black screen then the picture comes back, I’ve been kicked to the title screen in...

    eARC required for Dolby Atmos?

    Current situation: we are finishing a big phase of our remodel and I’d like to add Atmos to our good sized basement living space. I’d still like to run with a soundbar*sub+rear speakers to keep the clutter down. I’m currently running a Sony bar/sub/rear speakers that were given to me by a good...

    FS: Evga 2080ti Gaming Black / Xbox Series S

    I bought the Lenovo laptop. Heat is acting screwy on Safari but I wanted to let everyone know it was a great buying experience. Communication was great, shipping was prompt, and packaging was incredible. Laptop in retail box with retail padding, double boxed with molded styrofoam. This laptop...

    Help me build/buy a system for 4K video and photo editing.

    So a friend of mine uses davinci resolve for his YouTube videos. He’s gonna try to get me up to speed on that. I’ll still probably go with Lightroom for photo editing though. I’m learning all this as I go, basically trying to make about $1100/month with aerial footage from my Phantom 4 Pro. Not...

    Help me build/buy a system for 4K video and photo editing.

    I ended up scoring a laptop here at [H]. Ryzen 5800X, 32GB and 3070. Should do just fine for me. Thanks to those who responded here!

    Help me build/buy a system for 4K video and photo editing.

    I’ve been out of the PC hardware scene for several years now. Funny how having kids can make that happen. I’m trying to make some side money with my DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone and will need a computer able to edit 4K video (up to 60 fps if that matters) and high resolution photos in RAW format...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    Need laptop advice for a friend.

    Quick and dirty, my buddy is looking to buy his wife a laptop. Work use primarily, with some light video and photo editing (personal use stuff, not professional). Web browsing, work emails, etc. Any good cpu/gpu/ram combinations to look for that will allow his wife to get creative with editing...

    Good site to find replacement screen for Samsung chromebook?

    Lol I forgot to close this out, it went so long with no response (but thank you for responding!) GenMay found a replacement screen for $35, bought it and had it swapped out in 10 minutes. Works great now.

    Good site to find replacement screen for Samsung chromebook?

    My 7 year old daughter was given a Chromebook (non-touchscreen) by my MiL a few months ago. MiL received the Chromebook for free from Best Buy when she purchased a tv. The model number of the Chromebook is: XE501C13-K01US Intel Atom, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, WiFi only, 11.6” non-touch screen...

    iOS 12 Public Beta

    No way in hell am I putting beta anything on my iPhone 8. I’m guessing something in the ToS says they don’t have to honor their warranty if a beta iOS bricks my phone.

    Having used both, both work equally well. Keep in mind I’m comparing Samsung Find my Phone to Apple Find my Phone. In my experience, there’s absolutely no difference.

    One of the reasons Apple is worth the money...

    All good to know. I got an iPhone 8 Plus last week. It’s in an otter box commuter with a screen protector and I’m sure it will be as pampered as any of my other phones. Here’s hoping I won’t have to find out first hand how customer support is these days lol.

    Microsoft's E3 Press Conference

    I think it’s a tech demo for the engine, that’s also being used to show off their art style going forward in Halo. I dug it. A lot.

    One of the reasons Apple is worth the money...

    Ok cool, good to know. To be fair my wife practically had to drag me out of the Apple store in that occasion, she knew I was pretty damn close to just losing my shit on that employee, and the supervisor who backed him up, too. I never tried calling or chatting since I'd tried that already and...

    One of the reasons Apple is worth the money...

    I understand how warranties work, my point was, and always has been, that Apple fucked our phones. There was no physical damage, and neither phone had ever been jailbroken. My wife's phone was about 6-7 months old, purchased new at Best But. My phone was about 18 months old. Their OS bricked...

    One of the reasons Apple is worth the money...

    Interesting. If Apple had treated me this way 8 years ago I'd still be with them. Instead I was treated like a bum off the street who was only in the Apple store to use the restroom, panhandle customers and use the free WiFi. This was back when iOS 4 bricked my wife and I's iPhone 3G's and the...

    Basically a gameplay modifier for all PvP activities. Credits gained are used to buy global event caches which contain classified gear set pieces. Lots of fun.

    Serial Swatter Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter

    Eric Garner died because he resisted arrest while being 300 lbs overweight. If he hadn't held court on the sidewalk he'd still be alive. Cops have no duty to stop trying to arrest someone if that arrest attempt is met with resistance. And he wasn't put in a fucking choke hold, either, just to...

    Serial Swatter Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter

    1. This wasn' a SWAT team. 2. The police didn't raid anyone's house. They were on scene attempting to gather more information, they never attempted to contact the house (they were working on a way to do just that) when Finch came out the front door on his own. 3. Finch didn't want to...

    Ah, the old "is this update a phone-breaker designed to force me into spending money on a newer out-of-contract iPhone?" question. As an early victim of this horseshit (3g with iOS 4 "it'll work great we pinky promise!!) I would totally hate the red button. Luckily for me, I'd rather piss...

    Hours Before Launch, EA strips Micro-Transactions From ‘Star Wars: Battlefront II’

    I have zero issues with the way Bungle handles microtransactions; they are only for cosmetic items, nothing that affects game balance and nothing that can't be earned through normal RNG. I'm sure they make plenty of money, too.
