    Any news about 3D TVs at CES 2026?

    Seems like an idea that there's no market for, but which gets its heart restarted every few years!

    Room 101

    Bear in mind that My Good Pal Sir Dave is just narrating these days - he doesn't write the series. I did wonder about the naming of characters in Kingdom (most of which are female), but have concluded that it does help keep tabs on the main players. The bit with the three-legged male wild dog...

    Worth upgrading my 12 yr old LG50PZ570T

    An OLED will be massively better than a plasma. UHD footage in HDR was very definitely worth the upgrade in my experience, but HD & SD also look better. Go to Richers and have a look, I'd suggest.

    Now that I could actually cope with!

    Room 101

    I do try to be tolerant of the elderly - we're all headed there - but I don't find it easy when faced with an armada of them, such as in Sainsbury's today. Ambling about without looking where they're going, stopping abruptly in the middle of an aisle and changing direction like listing...

    What’s the difference between state pension and pension credit and are they linked?

    At the moment the state pension is never taxed at source, even if it exceeds allowances - which is possible because of inherited spouse's pension, and in some cases combinations of graduated pension, SERPS and/or S2P.

    What’s the difference between state pension and pension credit and are they linked?

    The system can be a deep pain in the nethers. I can't use it because I don't know when I last took out a credit card. I've got one and we pay it off every month, but I have no idea when we took it out. You cannot amend your choice of questions, so if it offers you something like this we're...

    What’s the difference between state pension and pension credit and are they linked?

    I know people whose state pension exceeds the allowance already and they are taxed on it, albeit not at source. It's moot anyway though, as it still uses personal allowance and that pushes other taxable income over it - and few people these days only have the state pension.

    What are you watching?

    It's not exactly a barrel of laughs, but Prisoner 951, the story of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's imprisonment by Iran from 2016-2022 is excellent. It's on iPlayer.

    Denon avr-x2300w video output issues

    That sounds like a fault then - not that that's much help to you! Re-reading I can see you've already tried this - apologies.

    Philips 55OLED907 vs LG G5

    I'd agree with that - my BR is an Oppo, but the TV does a better job of upscaling.

    Denon avr-x2300w video output issues

    I have a Denon AV amp too - if you go into set up>HDMI settings there's an option for video output where you can set it to do dual, monitor one or monitor 2. Mine's on dual and whilst I only use one screen, I'm guessing that's what you want.

    Denon avr-x2300w video output issues

    I can't see that looking at the input menu will help with an output issue - am I missing something?

    B&W Speaker help with Amp

    Hadn't seen this before - they look much better in black, so well done. I'd still be wanting them a bit further out of the corners, if there's any scope...
