Samsung. Its an edge lit led

well then one of the lighting sections may be gone. I could be wrong.

Call Luxsam on Gaston St in Chaguanas, they are the local agents for Samsung. In 2011 my 2009 58" plasma that I bought from Best Buy developed a row of dead pixels. Turned out to be one of the boards due to heat. I called Luxsam, they came and collected the TV, repaired it in a week and dropped it back for me and mounted it back on the wall. Cost TT$1200 total, parts and labour.

my sony hx750 started to show some ghosting during a scene in Suits with reflections off of glass in an office type environment.....realized....that office can't have so much glass....all reflecting Rachel...

had to laugh....no fix on it....called sony ...said cost would be same as a new tv......

tv was on panamax 5400 from day 1

if only the 8000 series on samsung would drop in price a little...

I just put together a nice little stereo setup with a Pioneer VSX-523-K and a pair of Pioneer SP-FS52 floorstanding (Pricesmart) and i'm using it with a Chromecast to play my Google Music subscription library. My next aim is to get a sub to make it a 2.1 but I've seen that the Pioneer SW-8MK2 isn't recommended online but I like the price though.

Is there anything better in the $100 to $150 price range? That budget can't increase btw.

^ depends on which Apple TV you have: 720p or 1080p

either way, the AppleTV may be faster (navigating through the OS and netflix) since smart TV interfaces are notoriously lacking

[vasquez]

Kool that's it the Apple TV 3

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Kool that's it the Apple TV 3

the Apple TV 3 is 1080p.

since you have both devices why not try netflix on both and let us know which one works better?

I would advise to have a wired network connection to the AppleTV or SmartTV instead of relying on Wifi to stream HD content.

[pete]

You can cast videos to the samsung smart tv. I've been able to do it with youtube my phone and tablet. Not sure about netflix. 2MB blink so netflix doh make sense (for me).

My pioneer vsx-820kjust passed out on me. Can anybody recommend a repair technician? Will try to get it repaired while I order a replacement online, god alone knows when that will land with the Christmas shipping congestion. Does anyone recall what model receiver pricesmart had in stock and if it's still available?

[pioneer]

They have a harmon kardon 5.1 for $2k I believe

[HCCA]

They have a harmon kardon 5.1 for $2k I believe

It's currently $2199, may drop near christmas maybe.

Not bad.

[Anton]

Thanks fellas. The HK may be a contender. Any other locally available alternatives?

[crazybalhead]

2MB netflix wukking very cork by me. 5.1 and HD.



Finally out of the stone age.

[crazybalhead]

Thanks fellas. The HK may be a contender. Any other locally available alternatives?

let Raptor bring what you need.

[RapToR]

i'm closed off on ordering till January month

[Anton]

If I can rally the season without a receiver, I'll be purchasing via Raptor. Lol

[pioneer]

Yeah but what's xmas without 5.1 movies meng

I think I saw some receivers by Raptor las time I was diggin lookin for hotwheels

[X_Factor]

the HK seems pretty decent you know and for the price locally, it will be hard to beat

i saw a few yamaha by sound and security in valpark
but the prices...lawd!

[RapToR]

Yeah but what's xmas without 5.1 movies meng

I think I saw some receivers by Raptor las time I was diggin lookin for hotwheels

all my HT stock sold out


all i got here now is Logitech Z906 and a Klipsch HD500

[phreak]

What's the cost on the klipsch 500 dude?

[RapToR]

What's the cost on the klipsch 500 dude?

$3500


Can give you for $3000 as its the last one

[Anton]

The HK is pretty decent, especially considering the online retail price. I was hoping to get a receiver with upconversion and a tad more power though if I was going to upgrade, but for the price locally, the HK would be the best bang for buck.

Pios, I already had a list of movies I missed out on this year I was planning on watching over the Christmas.

[mojosodope]

Great deal on the Pioneer SC-1223

[Anton]

^^Yup, in negotiations with the wife right now. Lol

[X_Factor]

thats a nice deal
i was thinkin bout selling my 1022k and getting that

should be around 4500 landed

[mojosodope]

Whats the duty on HT, 20%?, I hear customs shelling everyone hard these days, plus its 26lbs.

[X_Factor]

ship via amerijet small package service....about 75$ shipping and whatever taxes customs charge
trick is jus go without a receipt and let them value it...

[vasquez]

So I have tested my samsung smart tv ,Apple TV and my ps3 with netflix ,while Apple TV showed well had some lag , picture was nice , smart tv had no lag whatsoever but picture quality was not up to mark , and well no ps4 yet but my ps3 streamed netflix perfect picture was great no lag at all well just my experience oh I am using unblock us also and for what strange reason while on Denmark ip Apple TV showed the worst picture quality don't kno why but as I said ps3 was perfect
