Hi, my current setup is a Sky + box, LG Bluray player, Chromecast and Xbox One connected to an Onkyo SR-507 and the HDMI out on the receiver connected to an LG PS3000. Everything was working fine until the TV decided to stop switching on a few weeks ago so a new TV is needed.
I've been looking at quite a few TVs over the last month but am now thinking of getting the Sony Bravia KD55X8509C. I've read some mixed reviews, some great, some terrible but a lot of the issues I've read about weren't evident when I looked at the TV yesterday. I'm having a proper demo tomorrow to have a more thorough look before I commit though.
I know the Onkyo receiver I have is old so to take advantage of 4K it will need replacing but, for now, if I connect the HDMI out from the receiver to the new Sony TV, I'm assuming that will do the job? I've read a lot about people having problems with audio but I only have one cable (HDMI 1.4) running from the TV now to the receiver which is handling video/audio so can't see that this will be a problem with the new TV which would be HDMI 2.0. Am I missing something?
