  1. yeah i got that already. i was more stuck on how would it know without it being connected to the TV in some way like how your cable box can have an IR receiver so you can hide it away.
  2. well 1 receiver and 1 transmitter is all i need. i just need to move the location if the IR of the TV to another place so i can still control it when my cat decides they want to lay in front of where it supposed to be going to.
  3. well i kind of was. i was thinking and expecting them to have to hook up to what you wanted to control so it could be controlled just like how your cable box or satellite dish has to be. but i had no idea as i have never even thought of them as i never planned on using them but my cat recently has decided that it wants to lay in front of the TV right where the IR signal goes into it. i will look at that product you linked and any others you can think of. right now i dont need something that has 3 inputs and 4 outputs.
  4. thanks. i finally understand what you were talking about as well as ikeagnome. it just took me a minute because of me being stupid so thanks. i will look into this one more. and i am not sure. i said the model in the first post.
  5. yeah, took me a minute to understand, sorry for me being stupid. but that is why i asked. i know with my cable box it came with a port just for the IR receiver to be placed so the box could be hidden so i was expecting the TV to be the same. do you know of any product that doesnt need to be plugged into the wall? kind of limited on plugs even with a 12 plug surge protector.
  6. oh i think i get it now. place the IR transmitter over the original receiver and place a IR receiver where it can be seen or get the signal.
  7. yes i am stuck on it because if its not plugged into your TV or whatever you are trying to control, then how does it control it? i understand it moves the IR receiver to where it can receive the signal but without being plugged into what is supposed to receive the signal originally, then how does this work? oh and sorry, i am more of a visual learner. if you got something you can show me, it will help much more.
  8. yes i know that but looking at the link that erioch posted, there is not 1 connection that is anything but a 3.5mm.
  9. great but it still looking like it needs to be connected to the TV somehow and all of the ones in the link you gave me are 3.5mm headphone jack plugs which this TV doesnt have. so how would i connect it to the TV then since its supposed to extend the range or move the IR receiver to a more suitable location?
  10. great except my TV being 12 years old now, doesnt have the 3.5mm headphone jack to be able to plug that in to. it does have a USB but for the most part it says for media only like USB for pics.
  11. posting this in general because it kind of falls under general, off topic troubleshooting and displays as far as i can tell. i am wondering if its possible to add an IR receiver/extender to an LG 42" TV that was built in 2011. the model is 42LV4400. i am just wondering because my cat loves to sit right where the IR receiver for the TV is so it blocks the signals when i want to change. so i an looking for this so i can move it to the top of the TV so i dont have to worry about it anymore.
  12. well personally i like the in person better because i can see the item and what it does and doesnt have physically vs seeing in on a TV screen or computer monitor that is no where near as detailed as the one they are advertising so you can only go off of what you see thru your monitor.
  13. well yes and no. in 2014 i went to the gamestop expo in Anaheim CA and i live on the US east coast so overall i spent around $1500 then but its something i wanted to do. so i would say it would have to be personal preference on if you think its worth it or not and i know you were asking me if i think it is. well i think the experience of going to some place that most dont get to see or something you havent done before might be worth it. but i see people like the ones i listed above either livestreaming it or at least recording it to be posted like you said.
  14. i am in my mid 30s but i remember some 90s computers, then us having these when i was in 5th and 6th grade
  15. well its actually extremely easy to set up a company here in the US. most that do start an LLC (limited liability company/corporation) which if i am right would be the same or similar to the Ltd (limited) companies or corporations in england or europe but i have not looked into it so i can not say for sure. and the real issue with becoming an affiliate like linus, jaytwocents, gamers nexus, bitwit kyle, pauls hardware, etc. etc. is that it takes years and you have to build yourself up to high stats before being invited to join. $300 for getting a first hand look of the new stuff its probably worth it when you compare your experience to those around you that didnt go. the issue i have with any of this is that they schedule multiple things for all at the same time, like LG will be doing a floor demonstration will Samsung/sony or whoever will be doing one in the exhibit hall 1000ft away. i am just looking forward to seeing the videos from the ones that do go so i can see the new tech and compare it myself to see what i am thinking of buying as i need a new monitor but nothing comes as big as i need without going stupidly expensive LED panels like for outdoor sports stadiums.
  16. VCF? will they have windows vista there? LOL
  17. well i looked into it and they allow you to register with your company name so you could create your own small company, register it for the event and then go to it. and these places dont really care if you are or not, they just care if you paid your registration fees. but i was more curious as i am waiting to hear the latest tech related stuff like new TVs coming out on 2024.
  18. i am not sure if this belongs here or in off topic because it is about tech but also a place where it can be general in the terms of discussing some tech related things. mainly why i am making this is because i want to know if anyone here is going to CES 2024 or any other tech related convention within the next year or who here has been to one in the past?
  19. i have an EVGA 2070 super FTW3 ultra+ and it can handle 4k easily so i would say your 4070 will have no issues.
  20. personally i dont think i would go with a projector unless its solely for movies. they usually only have 2 HDMI ports which means having to switch from TV/cable box, console and PC if you want to do that. although i can see it being put on a sort of rail system to slide it back and forth so you can have a big screen one day and small the next or go with a short throw projector so it will not take up that much room.
  21. personally i would avoid anything acer because my parents have 2 acer monitors that are causing issues. the Gigabyte m27q was talked about in another topic here and someone said it was a bad monitor, dont know how much i believe that as i dont know if its true or not. ViewSonic xg2431 is not really a gaming monitor just based on price alone. just my opinion
  22. well what is your budget for this? or the most you are willing to spend? i know corsair just released this one CORSAIR XENEON 315QHD165 32-Inch IPS Gaming Monitor, QHD (2560 x 1440), 165Hz, 1ms, HDR-ready, 1.07 Billion Colors and here is the full list Gaming Monitors & Displays | CORSAIR
  23. well the only way to know for sure is to put the TV in a sound booth and test it which most companies dont do they just claim to be better than the competition so you will buy their product. its basic marketing but know i havent bought them. for the dragon 48 for example a 5ft cable cost $3000. AudioQuest Dragon 5' 4K-8K-10K 48Gbps HDMI Cable Black/Gray HDM48DRA150 - Best Buy
  24. ok. 2 monitors that have more than 165hz, 27" and 1440p for $400 is going to be a little tough. basically you have a $200 limit per monitor which doesnt really open up many good options. with your limited budget. the monitor you linked is probably the best one for you. but before buying it, i would wait to see if any others on here agree or disagree with me
