just bought a 75in 4k from Lg and realised my amp is hdmi 1.4...

[UEX]

Can anyone recommend an affordable upgrade? Im not an audiophile i bough a yamaha RX-V775 years ago and its been great, but im finally ditching 1080p for 4k hdr10

The TV is the LG 75UM7050

Its going to be used with a media PC running a 1080ti, a PS4 Pro a nintendo switch and a PS5 eventually.

i have 5 speakers and a sub they are from Monitor audio the speakers say they are Vector 10's

Primary viewing is via a PLEX media server (running on a fairly high end server) and game consoles as well as streaming services. No blu ray no regular TV.

Saw a 5.1 yamaha on the jungle for 199 which was very reasonable and had all 4k60 hdmi2.0 passthrough.

What i care about is HDR properly getting to the telly aswell as obviously support for 4k at the TV rated speed of 50Hz

Please help me gurus!

See ARC and optical as options was my backup, i didnt really think that would be the general answer although i do appreciate the penny conscious nature. Ill give arc a shot but im not gonna have enough HDMI long term if im losing one of the 3 available to audio, even with all three and feeding the audio back via optical ill be 1 short so will prob need to upgrade amp in the end!

ARC uses the output TV hdmi so your not losing any.

Eh? Yes you are because there are 3 hdmi in the TV so you could have say PC/PS4pro/PS5 but if you have to use ARC then one of those goes to AMP. The only way you arent losing one is if you watch actual TV (grandpa dont need DTS) or if you use built in streaming apps which (might) be fine but wouldnt remove the need for the PC hookup for gaming steam streaming etc but i do appreciate your thinking

Just wanted to come back and say, you were all right, also what i didnt realise is that the "fairly high end PC" would be the least capable part of the setup, really chugs even trying to do 4k you tube :/ im guessing its the 4770k which is a bit old but im kinda shocked it cant do any 4k when the Tv's built in stuff can. Im basically using all the TV apps and the PS4 pro audio goes back to amp fine surround sound seems to work too, all good!
