My current setup is as follows:
The main use the TV gets is:
Features I am not interested in:
I will potentially have to replace my TV, as it has on a few ocassions, powered off with the only way to power back on by turning the mains plug off and back on. So I will either be getting an exchange, or refund.
I am also looking to buy the Xbox Series X, which has opened up the subject of HDMI 2.1 and I have some questions:
I currently have my Sky Q and Xbox One X going into my AV Receiver, which then goes to my TV.
If/When I get the Xbox Series X, does this mean my TV AND AV RECEIVER would need to be HDMI 2.1 compatible? Or would I just plug my Xbox Series X into the HDMI 2.1 port on a new TV and then have my AV Receiver plugged into the Arc HDMI slot?
If I did the above, would it then be possible to select my speaker option? Basically having HDMI 2.1 into the TV from the Xbox, and HDMI into the TV from the AV Receiver?
Or would the AV Receiver need to be connected another way?
Basically, I guess in short, I am asking that if I get the Xbox Series X, will I have to upgrade my AV Receiver to a HDMI 2.1 compatible one along with the TV, or can I just upgrade the TV and then still use my current AV Receiver? If so, how would I need the setup to look with the TV, my Xbox Series X, Sky Q box and AV Receiver?
I hear great things about OLED and as I understand it, John Lewis now offer Screen Burn Warranty? Is that correct?
That would open me up to consider an OLED, but not at a 77", as that is out of my budget unfortunately. So I would consider either a smaller size OLED or a 75" LCD.
What would you recommend at the 75" size, which is HDMI 2.1 compatible, that would suit my setup as detailed above? And what would you recommend in terms of an OLED?
I would say a budget ideally around £1,000 - Could be tempted to stretch that for the right TV if needed.
- Hisense 75" 75B7510UK TV
- Yamaha YHT-1840 AV Receiver (with speakers, sub, 5.1 Surround)
- Xbox One X
- Sky Q
- I sit around 7-8ft back from the TV, straight on
The main use the TV gets is:
- Playing Xbox (FIFA mainly, some Call of Duty) - I would look at getting more games when going to the Xbox Series X
- Watching Blu Ray discs / 4K discs
- Watching Blu Rays / 4K's from my Plex
- Watching Football (4K on SkyQ)
- Watch the occasional TV, mainly HD and sometimes (rarely, only if I have to) SD
Features I am not interested in:
- 3D
- Smart TV Features (I would use the Xbox as the smart function)
- Speakers (as I have the surround system)
