Hello! I've just started looking into 4K/UHD players since I learned today that a PS5 does not support Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos. Any suggestions on stand-alone players?

Current setup:

• TV - LG CX
• Speakers - 5.2 setup, Paradigm Studio 100 v2's, Paradigm Studio v2 Center, Paradigm Atom v2 surrounds, dual SVS SB-2000
• AVR - Denon AVR-S750H (can swap back to AVR-S760H from another room if needed, HTPC with HDCP 2.0 was giving handshake issues and TV would flash to black often)

Request suggestions for:

• UHD/4K Player
• Support Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos (maybe for future), HDR 10+ (maybe? LG CX doesn't currently support this, S750H doesn't support, S760H DOES support)
• Streaming audio

I prefer to buy and play Complete/Definitive/GOTY editions at a steep Player's Choice or Greatest Hits discount (<$20) for many of the reasons noted in this sub, price, DLC, patch updates, etc. I'm admittedly frugal and hate it when I buy a game to have all of the intentions to play it, but don't get to it. Then a complete version comes out before I even touched the original and it makes me feel guilty for getting it and not playing it. So that's why I wait until that complete version goes on sale.

Of course, this means I'm averaging 2+ years post initial release of a game at the earliest. In 2021, my wife and I beat 2018's God of War - quite the accomplishment for us to play and bea

When playing some retro gaming on a CRT TV, do you now game using only the TV speakers for that authentic look and sound? Or do you use external speakers for better sound at the cost of how you may have heard it back in the day?

I only had a little TV and used the TV speakers growing up. Today, I use the TV out to pipe the L/R audio over to a receiver and floor standers for that sweet Stereo sound. In particular, the SNES and PS1 games, like Donkey Kong Country and Metal Gear Solid, sound pretty amazing.

I just found this sub you all are definitely my peeps. (Anyone still say "peeps"?)

I just wanted to know if anyone has bought games for the original platform (PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Wii, Xbox, etc.), never got around to playing them, and then keeps on repurchasing as the titles get re-released on more current platforms (PS3, PS4, Steam, Switch) to get DLC, GOTY, HD enhancements?

I can think of at least several games and series that are in my backlog (never played). Some off the top of my head:

• Bioshock 2 (Xbox360) > Bioshock 2 Remastered (PC)
• Shenmue 2 (Dreamcast European Import) > Shenmue 1 & 2 (PC)
• COD ModernWarfare 2 (Xbox360) > COD MW2 Remastered (PS4)
• Kingdom Hearts

Can I play the Guildmaster mode and avoid spoilers from the Campaign mode? (My game group just started playing the campaign mode for regular GH.)

Obviously, any progress made for your Guildmaster character(s) will reveal higher level cards, but what about treasures or anything else?

Ideally, I'd like to get better at the game and using a certain character on my own without impacting the joy and surprises of playing with friends in the campaign.

Hello, I want to understand this Xbox Game Pass for PC.

Background: I have an Xbox Live account (used to be Gold, now Silver?) when I was using my Xbox 360. I do not have an XB1 or XSX, but have a decent gaming PC.

I want to play Back 4 Blood with a friend who has a Xbox One with Game Pass (not sure if it's Ultimate or Console). I would only need a Xbox Game Pass for PC (not Ultimate since I don't have an Xbox) for $9.99/mo. That allows me to download the Xbox App on PC that will allow me to install/play games available for PC. I can cross-play certain games (e.g., Back 4 Blood) without the need for anything else so long as my friend has Game Pass for his Xbox One, correct?

My wife would

Hi all,

I have a 52" 1080P Samsung from 2010 and it's still going strong. According to RTINGS' TV size and viewing distance guide, the guidelines show that I may not find a difference going to a 55" 4K LED because the distance from the TV to MLP is around 9 ft. It's used mostly for console gaming, (TV, movies, and some PC gaming, hooked up to a gaming PC - smart apps not needed) (no sports). I don't want to go with OLED, because it's hooked up to a PC as a monitor too and am concerned about burn-in. AVR will be the Denon AVR-S750H.

Would it be worth it to upgrade to 4K at the distance I'm at?

If so, which would you

Some stereo amps or AVRs have A and B for the L/R speaker outputs. I've seen speaker placements where the A-set is in front left and front right of the MLP. The B-set is sometimes far left and far right of the A-set, sometimes directly to the left and right side of the MLP (like surrounds in a 5.1 set), sometimes in opposite corners of the room facing one another (front left faces rear left, front right faces rear right), sometimes directly above the A-set like front height speakers, etc.

So, I'm just curious, what's the proper A+B placement for both sets of speakers?
