Woo Hoo, my wife just gave me the thumbs up to rebuild the system. 

James, you and I are on for a Monday call.

SP-3 and BDA-3 in black please.

Mmmm... new electronics for Christmas 

Be well...

Ok everyone, I need some help here.  If I am going to go with the Bryston SP3, I am going to need a new TV too.  I only have room for a 60 inch TV, so my question is what is the best TV out there to match up to my equipment.  Obviously this is as much about having the best pic as well as the best internal software.

Most of the time they said "SIZE DOES MATTER" almost for anything and 100% for speakers.
But for TV, it does not matter.

It has been quite a few years since we walked away from cable TV and blunt skull programming, in our case satellite TV and have never looked back. Good riddance.

I've never liked LCD... it can't produce black. With plasma all but gone, I'd take a good look at LG's OLED TVs.

Your in luck cause I just got back from Mom & Dads where I was talking about TVs. A few years back I purchased a Sony Bravia Z series in which I paid about $2000 cdn, and my dad gave me chit for buying such an expensive TV. I didn't tell him about my $30,000 stereo.

Anyway from what I can see they don't make TVs like this anymore at least the cheap ones. It has 4 HDMI and all the other inputs you want. Plus you can adjust the picture manually to your preference.

The new TVs come preset and look kinda cheap in comparison but the picture quality is real good probably better than my Bravia which was the best picture I thought at time of purchase.

I'm not saying buy a Sony Bravia. I'm saying if you want these features, extra connections and manual picture adjust, computer connection, monitor mode, then you're going to have to look around and pay more.

This is just not the time to buy a TV in my opinion. 1st is the whole 4k thing. In order to be guaranteed to receive a true 4k signal you need both HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2. A huge segment of available TV's right now don't have one or the other and the same thing goes for a lot of receivers and SSP's that have been on the market for the past year or so. The 2nd is you mention best tv. Plasma was the king of picture quality and it's on it's way out with the best plasma TV's no longer being made anymore. It's true successor is OLED however they are few and far between at the moment. My advice is hold off for at least 12 months and see what the OLED market looks like then for sizes 55" and above. By then I suspect all of the new TV's will be HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 plus the 1st wave of true 4k Blu-ray players should be hitting the market at the point due to the introduction of 4k blu-rays.

I concur.  I'll be watching CES in January and CEDIA in September and see what gets introduced.  By CES 2016, the market will be a bit clearer.

Yeah, that's good advice.

Thanks for the heads up Guys.  I will follow this advise.  I can wait no problem.  My wife will like it too, as I am spending way more than I told her I was going to spend.

Surely purchasing audio equipment is more of a logical choice than video gear
