I just bought a new beast!

Does anyone know how to prevent the aspect ratios of pictures being distorted when importing them into this website? All the pictures that I input on here appear too tall for their width.

When you post a photo, in the details box change the width to be no more than 800px. Otherwise it gets squished to fit in the post container.

Okay, let's try my old Samsung picture again, using Vladimir and bigboss's advice ....

Still looks massive! *smile*

I reduced the width to 800 as Vladimir said, and reduced the the height to 640. Actually I tried reducing the height to 575, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. It appears that you can't reduce the height below a certain point. So, it's better than before Vladimir and bigboss's advice, but not perfect.

This cable should be alright for next few days at 4K up-scaling right?

You're determined to spend unnecessary money on a fancy cable! Bigboss said yesterday the criteria to look for. I put "hdmi v2.0 cable 2m long" into google and got, for instance, this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/version-Gold-Plated-Hi-Speed-ETHERNET-Freeview/dp/B006QKAUQC which is only £9 plus delivery, unlike your £29 Audioquest one .....

Yep, I have ordered the one BigBoss said about but I was just wondering about my current one?

I would try the ones you have already got before you waste money ordering ones you don't need.

Has the TV arrived Gel? I was waiting for an update re the TV and just read about HDMi cables.

For what its worth I would have stuck with the AQ Pearl initially.

 

[bigboss]

How many cables do you actually need? As I said previously, you don't need any until your 4K player arrives. Your existing cables will work.

You missed Gel's post #230!

I've just realised the cable bigboss mentioned in post #210 is maybe the same cable as I gave in post #234, but my link makes it look prettier! *blum3*

Nope, not yet after 6 now for delivery.

Looks like it's going to be a long night!

While you wait, these Blu-ray discs may tittilate you, specifically for OLED televisions.

[buzz_lightclick]

No I reckon it's all those roundabouts in Milton Keynes. Very confusing! *nea*

Nope, not so lucky, still waiting with no TV to watch.
