I haven't delved into any advanced details, but I'm giving this the road test with again with my Mad Max: Fury Road Blu-ray. The first thing that I noticed was that there's a good bit of muscle to the sound and that I can hear dialogue clearly even in the thick of the action scenes. My sound bar volume is only set to 20 (out of 100 max), and it fills up my living room really well.

Any advantages of using an HDMI cable over a digital audio cable? (I'm sort of clueless about this stuff.)

I'll say that going from a 32" 1080P television with internal speakers to a 49" 4K UHD television with a sound bar and subwoofer is really something else. The total cost was a little less than $1,000, and it'll take me two or three months to pay off that VISA bill, but it's quite worth it.


(This is not the right thread for this line of discussion, but I figured that I'd update.)

You would love this film even more if you sprung for a budget receiver and speakers/sub. Sound bars are a last resort in the home theater realm.

In fact, you would die with a smile if you heard Fury Road in full Dolby Atmos.
