  1. One thing not mentioned in the video is that the TV advertises to you in the menus. For example right now I have an ad for DirectTV Now on the input page, and two new menu options from fandango about renting movies and tv shows. Additionally, the "Smart TV Experience" is enabled by default. This gathers information about what you watch and when you watch it, including data from antenna, streaming channels, and other devices connected to the TV, and sends it to Roku, which could be shared with third parties. Also enabled by default is the option to use info from TV inputs to personalize ads. You can disable Smart TV Experience and TV input info from the menus, and you can limit ad tracking in the menus, but not completely disable it. Guess this is the price of nice cheap 4k TVs.
  2. It would be the sensible thing to do. The main problem with taking that route would be the audio. Right now it runs through the HDMI, and receiver takes care of the signal to the speakers. I technically could run a separate line and send it through optical, though I'm not familiar with the standards for it.
  3. Not natively. The projector is the BenQ W1070, and I believe it requires a separate transmitter for it to support wireless. I was looking into this option, but I am mainly worried about wireless interference since the airwaves here are pretty crowded, and I'm not sure about the quality of it, though supposedly is very minimal loss. Thanks, it took me several weeks to paint this quality piece of art. I would say the distance is around 25-30 ft, which should be fine for 1080p60 for HDMI. I thought about doing the direct connection to the projector and skip the receiver, but it would be much more difficult to hide the wire coming from upstairs and would need to figure out how to connect to the surround sound system.
  4. I'm currently trying to figure out what the best way to connect my computer to my home theater, not a huge issue right? Well, the main problem is that the plan is to have my computer on my office on the loft overlooking my living room upstairs. I need to somehow find a way to route a connection to the receiver downstairs that connects to my projector. Why would I want to do this? Casual PC gaming and general computer use. I want to be able to come home and sit on my recliner, and just do whatever on the big screen. Then when I get serious and want to do actual work, precision gaming, or using projector for entertainment, I can just go up to the office and take my business there. From the measurement I've done, it seems like the distance would be too long to just throw an HDMI connection without dealing with signal degradation. Luckily, the loft already overlooks the area so minimal holes required, and the L section on the upper right corner can be used to hide cables and whatnot. Looking for ideas on ways I could do this without lowering quality of picture or adding too much latency, any help would be greatly appreciated. Bonus points if you can figure out a way make the use of a Vive in the theater area possible without an extra PC there. Attached: High quality layout made in paint.
  5. At the end of the video Luke implies that he was too harsh on the G633/933, but I think it wasn't harsh enough. There are some clear issues with the headset besides it falling off of your head (personally I haven't experienced this problem, but everyone's different). For example, the most annoying issue with the G933 that was not mentioned in the video is the auto sleep mode. After 5 minutes of no sound while in wireless mode, the headset will turn itself off until you press a button. You could be chatting on VoIP and have a few minutes of silence and never know that people are talking until someone sends an angry message asking where the hell you were when they needed something important. I wouldn't mind as much if it turned back on when a sound starts playing again or an option to disable the feature; heck it could even have a beep or something to warn you that the mic is going into sleep mode so you can push a button. So far though Logitech seems to be putting it's blinders on like it did with the G930 issue a couple of months ago.
