    TCL Teams Up with Best Buy to Deliver Most Advanced Roku TV to Date – The All-New Premium 8-Series

    Actually they have the Model 6 series 55R635 in a 55 inch size, if that would fit. I think in that smaller size the new mini led 6 series would be almost a good as my 8 series.

    Another update, my BIL passed this past week after a tough battle with cancer and we just got back early this morning from the funeral. He was a great guy and went way too soon, he was only 65. It is going to take a while to get back to a normal routine around here, my wife has taken it very...

    multi fiber optic input

    Yes, almost everything is now HDMI, even for audio. There are some higher end receivers that will include coax inputs for audio, as that is superior to toslink but almost all the newer stuff is getting rid of the legacy inputs, not only for audio but also for video and just doing HDMI.

    Scott, I've been a bad, bad boy!

    That happened to me on Amazon year before last and it took me forever to get it straitened out. Everyone should go to secure verification on your Amazon account. That was the only way I finally got rid of the hacker.

    Celebrating 15 Years!

    Happy Anniversary!! Thank you so much for not selling out to someone. I have been on several forums that sold out to big forum operators and they were never the same. The family feeling that we have here was what the other forums also had and it just diapered with the big owner taking over. I...
