Hi Guys,
Existing member but haven't been on for a while (you guys helped me with my first ever receiver)...however I can't remember which email address I used for account lol
I've just brought a new TV and realised my old receiver (Onkyo 605) can't play 3D games through it from my PS3...so I need help on choosing a new receiver ...currently I'm going round in circles.
Current set up
TV - 51" SAMSUNG PS51D550 - 3D
Virgin Media - Tivo HDMI
PS3 - Gaming, Blu-rays and streaming video HDMI
Onkyo 605
B&W M1 speaking with sub.
AV Receivers looking at so far:
Denon AVR1912 £299
No upscalling
CNET give it a good review.
Yamaha RXV671
No air play
WHATHIFI give it a good review.
Sony STRDH820
No networking (looked at Sony STR-DN1020 but got poor reviews).
WHATHIFI give it a good review.
I'm tryin to choose between these but happy to look at other options, if anyone can suggest. Have looked at the Pioneer VSX-1021-K - but a bit pricey compare to the others I think.
My budget £400.
I'll be mainly using it to watch moves (and PS3 gaming).
Things making it difficult to decide are:
Do I really need upscalling? I watch standard def TV via my ViginMedia box, does that do the upscalling? Also I have a 51" screen to image quality is important.
Am I missing airplay? I don't have it at the moment, will never get apple TV, but I am planning on getting an iPad.
Is all this "networking" worth it? Handy for updates i'd imagine?
If you guys have any suggestions they really would be greatly recieved.
Cheers.
