Tom, get a TV with at least 3 HDMI inputs. I like the HDMI cables made by Twisted Veins. you can find them on Amazon. You can also buy a couple of HDMI switches that switch automatically when devices like OTA tuners, DVD players and cable set top boxes are turned on and off.

Much bigger would be too much for our livingroom. And I think I'd like to send the audio into my old fashioned stereo receiver and thence into my big old speakers. But I'd also like to get video into the TV from DVD, tape, computer, and slide display. I think I need to learn about this HDMI interface and what it does. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Kaufman To: blindav@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 06, 2015 12:09 PM Subject: [blindav] Re: good morning from another new member Yes…even the bigger screens (I have what I think is a 41-inch) sound is nothing to write home about! So am thinking of getting one of those sound bars to make it kick a little better!

Unless you buy a big enough screen, the speakers in the little flat TV’s sound like crap.

I am old and, of course, have and prefer the old audio stuff. Right now I'm looking to buy one of those new flat screen TV's, and I don't know what to look for. Audio and video connections to and from it to other devices are important. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
