Personally I use 2 x SunFire SDS10230 units and I find they perform much better than a single unit. I don't think the very low bass frequencies are as critical as, say the mid bass, mid & high. But I guess the best way is to try it and find out what works for you . . . .

The 4K material on the UK & US NetFlix service is somewhat limited and unfortunately highly compressed but you can still see the superior picture quality over the rest of the offerings there. I watched the Keith Richards doc a few days ago, that was rather good. Remember you have to opt in to...

I've always found the Andoid app from THX (available from the PlayStore) a useful tool in a pinch when no measuring equipment is close at hand. You do need a decent Android phone to use it properly, but it is fast and free . . . .

Refering to the original question regarding 4K streaming on NetFlix, I presume you have specifically activated the 4K streaming plan on their website? By default, 4K streaming is not usually activated unless you opt in to the plan that includes 4K. By the way, the UHD material on NetFlix UK is...

Seems people are forgetting that it's not only films that will be coming out on 4K BD format. I have a Samsung Alpha smartphone that quite happily records video in 4K resolution and the HD still photos I take with my Sony digital camera meet and exceed 4K resolution. Without mentioning the...

Regarding the S3 (and S4 for that matter) I changed over to wireless charging a long time ago. The kit includes a wafer thin card that goes over the battery and has a tiny connector that is already in the phone. Then plug the cable from your charger ito the small charging pad that comes with...

If a good test disc isn't to hand, a good way is to wind the colour to zero, adjust the remaining controls so the black & white picture appears crisp and detailed, then slowly add colour. Too much brightness will result in torchlighting and/or clouding, particularly if you are using an edge lit...

Hi! There is in fact an entry in the menu for adjusting the "beep" but I'm travelling at the moment and won't be back until next week, by which time you will probably have worked it out! I can't recall the exact sequence in my head but it is there ;)

"Remember to do a full reset after upgrading (your personal settings will survive!)" I meant to say a full SmartHub reset, which is different from a full factory reset of course! :doh:

FILMON app for Android is also genius. Recently updated so you can get the programme guide before you select the channel. The picture quality is brilliant on my Sony Xperia Arc S. Also the service is not GeoBlocked as yet . . . . If only Sony got around to fixing that BlueTooth "out of...

Hi all! Update firmware 1018.1 is now available for this set . . . . Network connectivity & SmartHub should be much improved :dance: Remember to do a full reset after upgrading (your personal settings will survive!)

Sorry about the delay, I've been getting sunburned! 8) The current version is in fact 001016 and is available via Samsung's website, but this one will need a USB stick. Just download the .exe file onto the stick, double click to run the file using your PC. This will create the update folder...

Hi all, Just a heads up to say that firmware 1014 is now available via the TV's update menu. This release will make the network connection much more stable. :cheers:

IMHO, it really is the best panel out there at the moment. But the devil is in the detail and as I've said previously, spending a few patient hours will be rewarding. Remember each input will need calibrating and update manually (via USB) to firmware T-ECPDEUC-1013.0 and perform a full system...

Well if I had to guess, I'd say the good folks at Sammy quietly release their upgrades on the website first for the more technical oriented users who bother to check regularly, then if there is any problems with the release they would receive a more detailed description of the fault from...
