Hi all,
I'm currently rocking a Panasonic Plasma and Onkyo htx22hdx. Image retention is becoming a problem and with Netflix and Amazon prime subscriptions it seems I will have access to some decent 4K content.
As my current amp/receiver won't passthrough 4k video I'm looking to replace it with a soundbar. I'm aware I can use ARC, but I hear it's a bit flaky and doesn't always work with the array of audio encoders etc.
If I get a new TV/Audio setup, my requirements are
Some questions:
Thanks

As my current amp/receiver won't passthrough 4k video I'm looking to replace it with a soundbar. I'm aware I can use ARC, but I hear it's a bit flaky and doesn't always work with the array of audio encoders etc.
If I get a new TV/Audio setup, my requirements are
- About 50" Screen size
- Netflix and Amazon Prime players built in.
Some questions:
- I currently have my Onkyo set up with 3.1. I find the middle speaker makes a drastic improvement to audio balance and clarity. Would a modern soundbar be sufficient to recreate what I'm getting with the Onkyo?
- I have a HTPC that currently passes Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital plus, DTS and DTS-Master to my receiver. Do soundbars also do this? Would I connect my HTPC directly to the Soundbar?
- With a budget of about £1000 for a TV and Soundbar, what do you guys recommend?
- Can I/Should I go OLED?
Thanks
