So we've watched a number of films in daylight now - with my old Pioneer we had to close the curtains to see the screen clearly (it was old!), but don't have to do that any more. I'm not sure about really strong summer daylight (have to wait a few months for that!), but certainly a bright winter...

Received a Philips 55OLED805 (https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/philips-55oled805) today to replace my 14 year old Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX5090 . I have to say, I've only had a little time with it so far, but genuinely blown away by the picture quality - our living room gets very bright as one wall...

Well, took me a while to decide but ended up getting a full AV receiver and putting it on top of the bookshelf units. Given lockdown and the lack of ability to go places and see people, I opted for a home delivery of the lovely Sony STR-DN1080 from Richer Sounds - finally I have everything...

Been a while since I checked in but nice to see you chebby!

I am not using a TV, but a computer monitor. It has 2x HDMI inputs. Also, I'd really like one remote control. It's becoming obvious that this isn't possible :joycat:

How's it going, John? Long time!

Well, probably true - but then I have 3x HDMI sources - one is Apple TV (streaming), second is PS4 and then there's my Blu-ray player (mainly as my PS4 doesn't play BD discs any more!). Like you say, Sky / BT / Virgin all do streaming now, and the PS5 / new Xbox is coming soon, so the need for...

Thanks bigboss - I looked at both the Sonos and the NAD3045, but I really need 3 HDMI inputs - I'm already half arsing it with switches etc and it just doesn't work well. Pretty sure I just need to find a bigger space for the amp - unfortunate as it would have looked a lot nicer on the shelf! I...

Thanks bigboss - interesting idea - I suppose that's probably true of quite a few AV receivers. Ah well, I'll keep on looking and see what I can find.

Nah, I won't be on here enough to warrant that. Happy just to be standard user now!

So, do any of the WHF staff come on to the forums any more? If not, that's a great shame.

Next Thursday, 4th June, 9pm... https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/ps5/

Aww, only just noticed this! Thanks, gel. Hope you're well - I know things were tough for you last time I was here.

Being a moderator on the old site (I suspect it's okay to reveal this now!), I think I saw an email about the site closing and then starting up again, but I never investigated at the time. Certainly seems to have been a lot of change - I still follow most of the previous editors of the mag I met...
