So I wasn’t originally going to make a build thread but after having gone through 2 builders, one useless and one broken, I have been thrust into a position I knew was a possibility and I have now gone fully DIY on the build. Also my work colleagues are sick of hearing me talk about it and don’t...

What are some modern bands that you think are pushing music forward right now and how?

I just bought a second hand Optoma GT1080 darbee. I am planning to install it in a bedroom, to achieve approximately 72” diagonal from 80 cm distance. The pj will be ceiling mounted. I will need to buy a budget manual pull-down or electric screen. Most of the time I’ll be watching in very low...

Ok folks - my current set-up is a 7:2 consisting of two Special Forties, a Dynaudio Evoke 25c centre, four Monitor Audio Silver FX as surrounds and two SVS SB3000's. Whilst not unhappy with the Monitor surrounds, they really seem to be the weakest link tonally for home cinema and I'd like...

The movies you'd most like to see get the full UHD HDR Blu-Ray treatment. Sorry if there's already a thread like this, I did search for one without success :)

I'm surprised it took me this long to notice, but... when I've purchased double-feature UHD releases they've come with two UHD discs. I was happy about that at first, because sometimes HD blu-rays will have two films on one disc, which really doesn't help the picture-quality & there's never any...
