I upgraded my TV to an LGC9 Oled...
For my past 2 tv’s I’ve been using my receiver (Pioneer Lx86) as just an amp through ARC.
The tvs remote has been far better at controlling all sources than the pioneer one and now the LG one is kind of like a mouse (which I’m guessing even the latest AV receivers won’t replicate)
Are the benefits of upgrading the AV receiver reduced now that modern TV’s work great for having several sources?
I’m sure I’m being naive here but wouldn’t I be better off spending money to upgrade the receiver to something that sounds amazing as long as it has ARC. I don’t even need a 4K capable receiver really...
