Despite the paranoia I have a 60" ST and have had no IR problems gaming while running ~85 contrast, ~58 brightness, and 2.2 gamma. It's a bright setting but I have a bright room and it's how I like the set to look. Regardless, I've had...

My .02, but I think it's because there are a couple different groups of people out there. One group, which has a higher than normal representation on AVS, is very paranoid about every little facet of their TV. There is nothing wrong...

One thing I'm not clear about, will the old HDMI 1.4 models pass a 4k signal untouched? I don't care about 4k right now, I think it is a long ways away. And if my 1712 and 4311 will pass a 4k signal through to my eventual theoretical...

Doesn't look like they changed much. I really like these little boxes they have as nice of sound quality of anything in the price range and a more subtle GUI that works better on larger TV's. If I had a single complaint it would...

I'd try running a separate optical connection from your box and see if that works. You can use HDMI for video and set it to use optical for audio, even though the audio is also coming in through HDMI. There are lots of issues with HDMI...
