Dude thank you for this settings rundown!! 🙌🏼
I have been doing Home Theater for over 30 years (I started young). My 9.2.4 system: Samsung 85" mini-led, Marantz Cinema 30, Marantz MM8077, Marantz MM7055, Klipsch RP8000s, RP504C, RP5000s (x4), RP600Ms, SVS PB1000 Pros, Polk OWM3 x4 (Atmos). Zidoo UDH8000, Nvidia Shield Pro, Apple TV 4K, and Panasonic DP-UB420-K.
I guess someone really didnt like this video, they already Unsubscribed while watching hahahaha
There are links to all of the equipment in here! If you would like me to put my calibrated 4k TV Color Settings on here, let me know!
A little room tour and guide to my set up, and how you can build the best 4k system on any budget! So, pop that tape in, I got you, let's go do this!
I would recommend trying the projector, it was a game changer for me. One of the best purchases ever. Exactly home theater.
@miaulnir I have a full wall of windows 12 feet high in my living room, a projector would be awesome but it would die in the sunlight lol
@@AVAPopCulture there are special curtains that can make room dark. And you can watch movies in the evening :)
Great vid brother. I'm just imagining what all I could do with the space you have. Just fantastic
and here we feel like we have no space lol
That's always the case
Klipsch speakers! I have some small ones for my desktop computer. They are great. Thanks for the video. I was hoping someone like you would do this type of video.
thank you!! glad you enjoyed it!
I pulled the trigger on an AWOL Vision 2500 short throw projector this year. There's something about watching reflected light on a screen that really gives that theater experience. You do need a completely dark room though.
I rip my movies to a hard drive and watch them though Zidoo devices. Very nice quality players and it allows me to sell off discs that I don't need to own, but still keep a high quality copy of the movie.
Love my AWOL LTV-2500! If anyone is looking for a cinema experience at a decent price, this is the way to go.
Keeping IT cheap and real LOVE IT...
@Ghostrecon12 It would be easy to list the most expensive things but honestly, how many people are going to spend $1300 on a A/V reciever just to get maybe 50 more useable watts per channel?
Or why pay $600 for a subwoofer instead of $249 for Kilpsch because it has slightly better performance that 99% of people can't distinguish...
Or why spend 3 times the price on a Sony Bravia OLED for a tiny bit better picture that you'd have to pause and pixel peek to see?
If funds are unlimited then go all out, but I'd rather have something 99% as good for 25% of the price 😆
I invested in the LG C3 in june...i got the 65 inch and i think i paid 1,700.00 for it and its by FAR the best tv ive ever owned and then some. That particular OLED is a game changer as far as 4k's are concerned.
Yup.. got me the 77 inch. Freaking love that thing.
Lg c2 65", Panasonic ub9000, apple tv gen 3, Integra drx 5.4, 7.2.4 pioneer elite Andrew Jones setup, Phillips hue lighting throughout with the sync box, Xbox series x, Mac mini, BlueSound node music streamer with linear power supply upgrade, 3 fosi v3 mono blocks, audioquest cables throughout the entire system, Panamax 5400 power conditioner. Over 700 4k films on disc.
At 10:00, tip: If your receiver lacks dolby vision but u still want the sound decoded from your receiver, what u can do is putting the hdmi cable for just sound on the 2nd port that is only for sound to your receiver and the port thats sound+video to your tv directly (just remember choosing the correct tv input) for video, bypasses that issue. My receiver lacks d.v. but when I get m2 4k player from Sony, then I will do that operacion.
Sell your Showgirls VSU and get the OLED 😂
That would probably get me over 10% of the way for sure lol
@@AVAPopCulture 😂
I have suggestions out the wahoo about surround setup. I get it, BUDGET! So I will keep that in mind and limit my thoughts. First one is with Atmos. With such high ceilings, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT rest on front speakers and try the bouncy house method. Ideal for Atmos with just two is directly above you or hanging on the wall to the left and right angled towards listening position and set as top middle in the receiver. I deal for you is to get another set of floor standers to use as surrounds and get the angled speakers you are talking about and put them on that ceiling shelf front and back and set your receiver to front and rear height.
Center Channel should be pulled forward to the front lip or even further out on the shelf to remove shelf resonances as much as you can. Ideally it would be on top of your stand pulled all the way forward to the edge. As is you are causing sound reflections the results in certain frequency cancellations compromising the sound.
Subwoofer: Klipsch has gotten better but I would not recommend. Budget friendly I like the RSL Speedwoofer 10E as a minimum. SVS subs are great to get from big retailers with great warranty. I would strongly suggest to order direct as you get some added benefits. Read the SVS Bill of Rights. HSU & Rythmik are great internet direct subs. Spending 1500 or more I strongly suggest Internet Direct brands for more performance for money. I am a personal fan of what the Power Sound Audio subs deliver. JTR and Harbottle are next level and certainly not budget friendly.
I get it man!... I have edited sound and mixed sound for movies for a long time, I am just not "that" into sound where I worry if my center channel is 1/4 inch recessed vs on top of my tv stand... I'll probably put the atmos speakers (whenever I get them) on the shelf ledged about 9 feet up and angled down but I may put tehm on top of the other speakers too because I dont know if I want my living room to have hanging speakers on the main wall be the focal point when you walk into my house lol and for the Subwoofer, 99% of people will not notice the difference in the bass-end enough to invest the extra $300-ish and I like to match my speakers (Id change those Bose rear speakers if you could see they were different) remember, stats say that almost 8 in 10 people with a "home theater" listen on Soundbars or less LOL - I cant do that BUT personally, am not an audiophile enough to worry about that...I am about having my collecting and setups fit into my lifestyle and design rather than have it take it over (same reason I dont just accumulate titles, I curate a movie collection)
BUT everyone gets into different aspects and that is what is so cool about it!....
Some good suggestions here. I had the bouncy atmos when I first went to atmos. I now have them on my ceiling (4 speakers) and it made a huge difference. I also have a pair of svs subs and I love those things. I do have klipsch for my bed layer speakers tho. I demo’d a few different kinds that were my budget, and just preferred the way the klipsch sounded
@@43bigsteve Klipsch Speakers are good value and there is a reason they are so popular, many like the sound. Klipsch subwoofers though? Not so much. Bouncy House Atmos can work in the absolute most ideal environment. 20ft ceilings like he has, no chance! better just sticking with 5.1 than waste time that way.
@@43bigsteve upgrading to SVS subs was a game changer for me, I love ‘em
Nice showcase Chase. Good to see a little bit more of your 'space'.
I was always told that rear speakers should be close to ear level height-wise. Thoughts?
that would probably make them louder for sure...in here, it rattles around off my walls so it really sounds great with things like a helicopter flying over in a movie or something liek that
I have a front projector setup. It took awhile to finish my theater room. I have the LS12000 projector displaying on 140 inch 16:9 acoustic transparent screen. The screen was built as well as the faux wall it's on. I have my frontstage speakers, sub, and equipment rack behind the faux wall. I am running 7 bed layer speakers, 4 atmos speakers, and a sub.
nice!!! I would like to have a room for a projector...the room I have where there could be one is soooooo bright with windows, it wouldnt make sense but I like them
@@AVAPopCulture totally understand. My faux wall is in front of window, so I understand. I blacked out the window with black film and I got a velvet curtain to get rid of any extra light spill.
Never soundbar, just no
Go with Micca speakers. Better than Bose and way cheaper and easy to drive speakers too.
No bouncing atmos out of any ceiling, it doesn't work.
Hang Em higher on the wall, no need to go to the ceiling. Same effect, easier to do.
No Frankensteining Front Left,Center,Right
Speakers dont have the same sound profile and tend to have drop off between them when crossing through channels.
Not noticeable if speakers are right next to each other, but as soon as you put space between them it will be noticeable. You can get away with different brands spk for surround.
My setup 5.1.4:
TCL mini led 55”
Panasonic 820k
Elac Debut 2.0 spk
Micca Covo Atmos
Klipsch 12” wireless sub
Thanks for the showing. Love your living room! Perfect for height speakers! Love the windows too. If I lived there and had lots of money I would probably turn it into a gothic looking horror cave home cinema. Hehe. Really cool place!
Hard to get it dark I know. Theres hope though. A swedish science woman showed off a window with built in liquid ceystal tech. The crystals had three states. Clear, diffusion and black. So by giving them current in a short impulse the state changed until you gave a new impulse. Thats the windows i want!😊
I have a 65” LG OLED since 4 years. My second OLED actually. Been following the development of the technique for many yesrs. Did you know it is based on a trch from the 1950’s? Cool!
Then I have a moded SONY X800 4K player. Moded with I.C.O.S. To make it region free. It changes dvd region automatically and bluray with one click on a button. Great player!
Receiver is a 4K capable Yamaha RX-850. Dolby ATMOS but not DTS-X sadly. But sounds so good!
Center and full size left and right front speakers from swedish QLM. i need no sub. I promisse! Lol
4 surround speakers of unknown origin that where cheap bit sounds much better than I expected. Costed meabout $200 for all four.
My dream is a larger room and a huge OLED. 120” or more. Hehe. I love to be immersed in the movie.
Btw: Do you have a patreon account or so? I tried to join your channel but cant find a joon button. Not on my phone anyway.
Cheers!
. . Far~Out! . Thank you for your advise, much appreciated. Venturing out of the DVD era into finer quality Audio Video. Going to be fun to start collecting 4K for my "Lifetime Media Collecting". . I'm sure I'll have more questions in the near future, got the address. . . Thanks again. . 😎
Awesome vid, super informative and also fantastic because this comment section is generating a whole lot of conversation and bringing in others who are highly versed as well. Love vids like this, brother! It's like a great Cliff Notes that assists and cuts down on how much research it takes to curate exactly what each individual wants for their specific space and preferences. Great stuff! 👻
thanks man!! now the question is "which TV to watch Hauntedween on" ? lol
@@AVAPopCulture hahaha either is good bc I'm not imagining Hauntedween is gonna visually blow our minds.
If you are looking for an HDR-compatible TV, one that supports HDR10+ is perfectly fine. Technically, Dolby Vision is better, but unless you pause and pixel peep, you would not know. Also, OLED is expensive for the bigger sizes, but Mini-LED is almost as good and cheaper. I wanted an 85", so I went with Mini-LED, and they get WAY brighter than OLED, so if I were you in that room, than look at Mini-LED.
@@m4nc1n1 I'm definitely leaning away from the OLED for the bright room, I do have to have Dolby vision because I review 4ks for this channel and that comes with the territory even though I agree, it splits hairs most of the time
Great video. I'm the kind of bachelor who command stripped my height speakers to my ceiling above my couch. I always wish they would push headphone technology so if I ever have to move into a retirement home I could sit there all day with some home theater like headphones and watch my movies. That said, I'm also pretty impressed with a good set of open back headphones and movies currently.
At 8:00, hahaha..we need to be friends in real life. We have same taste in movies, i have that Sony 4kplayer but is not Mark2 (m2 has dolby vision) and I have...oled 4k tv from Sony 55" AF8 but warning regarding oleds, they are prone to get burn-ins if u leave static images or icons too long (happened to me but not super severe burn-ins) without having a screen saver turned on. Same with Plasma in the end of 90ies when they came, if im correct. Nice tv non the less!
As a calibrator typically on most tv you can get the closest to industry standard wp d65 if you put your tv in cinema or movie mode or equivalent. Then disable all the extra image processing like de-noisers black frame insertion de-judders etc. I recommend leaving on or auto to film mode that helps with 24 frame content like movies. Then go to color temperature settings find the warm or warm 2 depends on make model. Turn off over scanning “aspect ratio” so you’re getting what was intended not cropping the image. Turn off sharpness you simply do not need it for hd 1080p and above imo lots of issues with haloing image aliasing. After that you really need a professional to come out do a calibration of your white point or create a 2d or 3d lut. You can purchase a spears and munsiel test disc to help setting sharpness and over scan. On Dolby or hdr best to leave all the settings at default putting in a cinema movie mode is gonna be closer to industry standard. Following someone else’s numbers won’t work as intended because of panel variances coming off the assembly variances in chip sets and also how dark there room
Is when viewing.
You could use command strips to hang a bigger curtain on your windows so the light won't effect the picture and you can use a oled instead of getting a qled and save some money but a qled bigger TV would be amazing in that dope room.
I watched one of your recent reviews and you mentioned The Beast Within.. The Kit Harrington Werewolf movie. Always enjoy a good movie conversation.. I took from the film is that he is seriously mentally ill to the point they see him as the monster.. I don't think he is a Werewolf at all. Interesting film though.. Its the way he behaved and kept Changing in human form.. Interested to hear what others think you have watched it :)
I think the issue with the idea that he is not a werewolf is all of the things that are done that the girl cannot see...like locking him up with a pig to eat etc and the wife and dad talking about what would happen if he got loose from being chained up...also, Kit's character clearly gets smacked around pretty easy by the dad when not a wolf earlier in the movie, but later, he throws her dad up onto the wall and where he is hung by antlers (not to mention the door is blown open with huge force by the "wolf" that a man couldnt do) and his heightened smell and senses etc....I can see the other arguement but then it leaves gaping plot holes and meaningless scenes from throughout the film if that is the case....
@AVAPopCulture I watched a few reviews on it and people are pretty split on it.. Maybe the darker side of his character is stronger than the nice side.. Almost a Jekyll and Hyde type scenario. Still a very interesting film.. 🤔
I've have a LG c2 in my room with a ub9000 panasonic player and a nakamichi 9.4.6 sound bar system which has 2 subs. I do have in my living room a vizio p series quantum which is not bad, with a jbl 9.1 sound bar and a sony x700m 4k player.
I think the LG OLED is what I will try to go with once I dig out from under all of this repair debt lol...how big do you think the difference is between your OLED and QLED?
@AVAPopCulture the oled is definitely better but the vizio is really very good especially for gaming. I think that a lot of people rag on vizio all the time.
Sorry, the nakamichi is a 9.2.4 ultra. Must be getting senile.
At 10:40, man, we think a like too, didnt know u gonna say that and u did about bypassing :D
yeah I bypassed it in here for now but didnt want to confuse everyone by trying to explain it lol
No wories, I did that job for u 😎😉Btw, your Sony receiver in your room reminds of my first Sony receiver too, with the cute channel icons on the left of the dts text 😁
Hey Chase, love your videos and commentary. Gentle feedback, I always think your intros are a little long. Hope you find this helpful! Keep on going!
I appreciate it...everyone's taste is different and I like to set up the vibe and the feeling -Im a writer/director/filmmaker so by nature, I am a story teller and it isnt just about the nuts and bolts of the movies or the lists in the videos for me - it is about the feelings, nostalgia, vibes, atmosphere, and experience...so that may run my intros a little longer, if that isnt your taste, you can skim passed them...thanks for watching
@@AVAPopCulture love this explanation!
Awesome video. I have klipsch as well. I have a surround with a bass and I have 4 height speakers for the Dolby. I've got to get a new receiver though mine went out on me. I would also like to get a Qled tv as well because the room gets a lot of light. Enjoyed the video a lot: thank you
thank you! yeah, I have always been a fan of Klipsch...I need to finish out my systems
I run a 4k projector in my theater room and my living room setup/tv i use the govee t2 backlight it works pretty good
Great video! Love that you have a setup in your office as well.
I’ve got a 77” LG C1 Oled, Onkyo receiver, Panasonic ub 9000 with polk speakers & sub with the klipsch atmos directional speakers. The klipsch work ok for me because my room has an 8 ft ceiling, it may be tough to achieve with your vaulted ceiling. You may get better use though if you mount them on the wall above the tv, with them angled down toward the viewing area.
If I had to do it over again, I would’ve went with a region free player. I’ve got a blu ray of Fido from Germany that I’m dying to watch…lol
thanks man! yeah, the Sony being a region free 4k player was what sealed the deal for me -especially for my "non-main" tv.... you have to switch the region manually but no biggie...the player has been great but it doesnt have that Cinematic Chip in it that panasonic does.... I am thinking of going with an upgrade from this 55inch cheap QLED in my office area to a 65 inch OLED in here and maybe doing a Sony QLED that is 77 or 83 inch in myliving room because that room is so big and bright....I will probably mount the Atmos Speakers on the "ledge" above my TV that is about 9 feet up and then angle them down
@@AVAPopCulture yeah I wish I would’ve thought through more but when I bought the player last December, I had no idea what I was truly in for. I probably had 15-20 4ks in my collection this time last year And now according the the My Movies app I’ve got 446 4k’s 😆
@@TheTylerpoe LOL yeah until I just came back to collecting, I realized that my 4ks were just really picked up at random if the release had a 4k & BluRay combo.... now, that is rapidly changing lol... that sony region free is a very good value for the money! it wont get all the way to teh level of the panasonic but that region free adds value, especially if you have the panasonic too
@@AVAPopCulture in addition to that German blu ray I’ve got countless movies where the 4k is region free but the special features are on a locked blu ray. I may need to consider picking up an inexpensive region free player just for that. Love your Klipsch towers too man, those things look like they can bring it! Plus Klipsch just has a classy look to them when the covers are off
@@TheTylerpoe yeah Klipsch have always been sexy lol...they sound incredible....the extra feature discs is where they get you with teh region lock!!!
I strongly recommend taking a look at the LG G4 and Samsung QD Oleds, they are so bright that there is no reason to buy any other technology than oled.
The only reason not to buy an Oled TV is if you want to get a Ultra short throw projector with a floor rising screen.
Price would be a reason lol! I love Samsung but without Dolby Vision, I cant go with them as someone who reviews films... they need to get that figured out!
You’ll always have blooming in QLEDs as is the nature with them, but I feel like you have one of the cheaper Vizio QLEDs like the M6 series. I have a 75” Vizio P-series QLED in my living room and a 75” Vizio M7 series in my bedroom. And I have to say that the P-series QLED is one of the best QLEDs on the market. And while it does have some blooming as all QLEDs will, it’s not as prominent and the colors are more vibrant than any normal OLED TV can ever muster. It’s not until they add the QLED quantum dot panel with the QD-OLEDs that OLEDs start to be better color and brightness wise to normal QLEDs.
If you’re getting an OLED, get a QD-OLED. Otherwise just stick to the higher quality QLEDs/Mini-LED QLEDs.
Both the Sony X800 and the Pana UB820 have one big advantage: 2 hdmi ports, one for audio/video and one for audio only. Yes, you would need 2 hdmi cables but trust me, bypassing the receiver's 4k passthrough is the best option. So, in the case of these players, you can plug an hdmi cable straight to the tv, for video signal only, and another hdmi cable straight to the receiver, for audio only. That way, you'll have complete separation between the audio and the video signals, which is always better.
@byron19800 that is how I have mine set up but 99% if people will not set it up that way and I did not want to confuse people in this "basics" type video
Thank you for sharing your set up... I'm hoping to snag that LG C2 oled for Black Friday this year, fingers crossed
Yeah I am looking at that or a C4 -basically the same just a tad brighter!
I'm catching up on your videos, man this is a great one. Makes me excited to upgrade my setup, and I definitely learned some stuff about the sound setup and the options out there. And I really hope you do a full room tour soon!
Thanks my friend! When I can get all this mess cleaned up and my posters re-hung, I will definitely do a full room tour where I'll show all my little goodies and collectibles and memorabilia!
An atmos upfiring speaker is a waste in your living room with vaulted ceiling. Don’t waste the money.
I'll probably angle it down from the ledge above the tv
Always go for bigger tv. Best receiver on the market for price is Onyko tx-rz50 a 9.2 125 watts per channels two driven. 11 channels of processing with external amplification. Also has direct built in.
yeah that is a great reciever - it is in the $1300 range like my Yamaha was but most people arent going to pay that for a A/V reciever for "useable" 50 Watts per channel increase over a $399 Denon - there has been some signal issues with the Onkyo too but if you have the $ then I say go for it! Onkyo has been a great brand for a long time!
@@AVAPopCulture That Onkyo RZ50 receiver was $1500 when it was new a couple years ago. I've seen it on sale for under $1000 in the last 6 months. 2 years ago, I got an Onkyo NR-TX7100, which is the next step below the Z50 for about $1050. That is much cheaper now, then when I bought mine ($600-700). I can play 4k, 120Hz on 4 HDMI ports. Plus it has 2 more HDMI ports that aren't full bandwidth. It has Dolby Atmos, DTS X, IMAX, DolbyVision. I have an LG C1 65" OLED TV and a Sony X700m 4k player, 4k Firestick Max and a PC connected to it. The TV was around $1500 in late 2022 and player was around $160 last year. For right now, I have a 5.1 speaker setup but would like to upgrade to Atmos setup with height channels. My computer doesn't have DolbyVision when playing media, but the Bluray player and Firestick, do.
I would recommend getting an OLED TV. It's such a big upgrade from the 55" Samsung 4k LCD from 2019 I used to use. I gave that TV to my daughter, when I upgraded 2 years ago. The HDR is a night and day difference. Watching movies on 4k HDR is a new experience, compared to 1080P bluray, which is still good in most cases, or watching movies in 4k on my previous TV.
Nice 👍 We’ve got power back here and I’m finally checking out the OG Amityville from VS, looks amazing btw, major yard work ahead 😢 Hope you’re safe
Interesting to see Murray Hamilton, the mayor from Jaws (Amity), playing the head Priest, or Archbishop, whatever, of Amityville. Once again, he's trying to squash the controversy, lol, gotta love that guy.
he is like the ultimate "company man" lol...he is going to try and sweep anything under the rug anytime he walks on screen in order to protect image and bottom line hahaha
I have a 2019 sony ag9 55in oled is amazing 👍 would never go back to other tvs

just trying to give people a base guideline my dude and answer the question on what my general settings are....I've been doing tv calibrations for many years - and I professionally color correct and color grade feature films.... you can "yeah but" and do "well actually" and "if and but" forever, I'm just trying to give people a general idea and place to start here...the professional calibration, which I have been paid to do for a long time, and creating and uploading LUTs to a tv etc etc etc, is way overstated in value for the visual difference you see and still falls back to "taste" -some people like warmer looks or cooler etc and it is overkill for 99% of people
@@AVAPopCulture sorry no I just figured that most who watch your channel are home theater enthusiasts and are all about that experience and taking it to next level. Agreed everyone has to start somewhere I’m also seeking knowledge and learning see what others are doing! Keep up the good work and I like the walk through and technical aspects of picture and video. You have a lot of knowledge as a film maker I’d be more curious about what you’ve learned lighting cameras exposures. 🤝
I think that oiled in your living room wouldn’t be that great because of the windows. Plus the other tv you want to put is bigger and more affordable. But for that little room the ones would work and if you go on B&h website you could get an oled with there credit card with no tax on the tv just a flat price. That’ll save you even more cash. I bought my oled c1 65 in tv when it came out for like 1700 at the time with no tax included.
Default TV settings are horrendous, I think tuning the picture settings is the most important thing to enjoying 4k movies, namely turning off motion smoothing and all the other unnecessary settings, centering the temperature bias, etc
oh yeah, you cannot go with out of the box settings!!!
The quality on your 4k TV is really nice, but I think I'm old fashioned or maybe simple. I have a Philips TV, nothing big, HD, and cable. I think where you spend money on your movie buying, I spend on having cable. Lol. It's my one luxury. I like to rent movies through my voice command on my remote for 3.99 or luckily when they're free. I bought a DVD player a couple years ago solely because the local public library has an enormous movie collection for renting DVDs, movies, TV series, documentaries, they have brand new movies too. Never overlook your public library. I mentioned to you, yesterday, that on TV last night AMC was playing Stephen King flicks all night and today too and I watched Silver Bullet last night and it I wanted to mention it was TOTALLY unedited. That scene with the pregnant lady getting all scratched up and the girl's drunk dad making that crude comment about handicap people, it was all there. I hadn't seen it since I was a kid and I forgot about the great music they play when they show the werewolf creeping up on people. But my main point is that I appreciate AMC for being about the only channel that shows a whole movie!!! They didn't sensor any of the graphic scenes, they even showed the railroad worker at the beginning and his head flying and the bugs on the ground. Thanks for showing us your 4k because I actually had never even heard of this until I came to your channel. Again, I keep it simple. I like to imagine I'm still in the '90s. 😊
just remember, you are trading convienance for lack of quality, censored content, and payng for stuff you dont own and they can take from you at any minute! Old school would actually be buying the physical media and owning it! Speaking into a remote and ordering digital is very "new school" lol
@@AVAPopCulture Interesting, I love your perspective. Apparently, I must LOVE Aeon Flux because it's the ONLY series I own on DVD. I have about 5 movies and that's it. I see your point about talking into a remote. You're right, I like convenience. Lol. Maybe that's why I like watching you, you're like the opposite of me. Lol.
@@AVAPopCultureI was thinking more about this and I think a big part of why I like these things is I like the spontaneity and the temporary aspect. I think it makes me appreciate it more, knowing it's temporary (like renting a movie). Kinda like , the thrill of the moment. Lol. But you're right about the censoring stuff. That would be the main reason I would put big money into buying and investing in a great home movie system. I can't stand the censoring/editing things out. I would be so freaking picky about the first ten movies I bought too. And I'm an organizational freak too. I'd probably go nuts with it. You're also right about it all being taken away too, if you don't own it. This is one reason I'm amazed my library still has a DVD collection. I miss the video rental stores.
yeah baby let's do this!
this is awesome! i was hoping you'd do something like this. thank you so much for taking the time to explain the set. looks great. i'll have to watch it a couple times lol sounds like Klingon to my simple ears but i will take good notes lol.

Thanks for making the 4K set up video!
