    3770k upgraders?

    I'm starting to get the itch to upgrade my 3770k system. It's pretty out of date now but I really want to make sure the upgrade is worth it. I'm looking at doing it properly and going with the 3800x with a X570 board with an M.2 PCIE 4.0 SSD and my existing GTX1080. Current setup: Intel 3770k @...

    2x 24" Monitors

    2x 24" Monitor Recommendations I'm looking to replace my current aging monitors with two new 24" screens. I'm looking to spend around £300-350 for the pair but can maybe stretch more if it'll be worth it. I'm now more of a casual gamer so 1080p is fine but would love to stretch to 1440p if my...

    Hotel/Hospitality TV suitable for Home Use?

    Someone I know has a Samsung HG55ED890WB 55" LED TV still boxed and brand new for sale which he won in a competition. I've seen it's for hospitality use and I wondered how that would differ to my current Samsung UE50JU6800 50" TV. All my TV content goes via a single HDMI from my AV receiver...

    New Centre Speaker

    My KEF system is 5.1, surely that's a lot better than a sound bar.

    New Centre Speaker

    There's nothing wrong with it, I just thought that with all that space available I could get something better. Will have to look and see what KEF centre speakers are around that will fit.

    New Centre Speaker

    I'm looking for centre speaker upgrade suggestions for my current KEF 5.1 HTC3001se system. It can't be bigger than the receiver for it to fit in the gap: 434mm x 339mm x 167mm My budget is fairly open but I would only replace what I've got for something that's definitely an upgrade. Thank...

    It was the design of the TV unit that we couldn't quite agree on :)

    Your Movie Storage

    Well I've decided to buy a 6TB WD Red to use as my main media storage in my PC. Currently copying over all my files. I decided that for the time being 1 drive would be enough and would lessen the upfront cost. Later down the line I still of course have the option of buying a NAS and another...

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    I'm currently out of contract and would love a mates rate deal :) I would also like to find out whether or not the Tivo box is going to be upgraded soon? It's just so slow and so very dated. Trying to load Netflix through Tivo takes forever.

    NAS Recommendations

    I'm looking to buy my first NAS as the 2TB WD MyPassport external HDD is full to the brim. I like the idea of being able to access my files and movies from multiple sources and attaching my external to the NAS for extra storage. I'm looking for about 8TB of storage (WD Red) from a 2 or 4 bay...

    Your Movie Storage

    How do YOU play films on your TV?

    I have my main PC in my spare room and both my main TV and bedroom TV are Samsung smart TVs. Is Plex able to stream full HD movies over wireless without hickups?

    How do YOU play films on your TV?

    I'm new to the home cinema scene. I've recently bought my first AVR, 5.1 speaker setup and a new TV. I both buy DVDs and download my films, before now I've stored my films on an external HDD. I would then plugg that into my old TV and watch the films from that. Any films that wasn't supported by...
