Please Help Me Upgrade my Receiver - Blu-ray Forum

Hi guys, I've been out of the loop for a while on current tech. My old Sony TV is starting to go on me so I'm FINALLY going to soon upgrade to a 4k TV.

I'm running an old Sony 7.1 STRDA2400ES Receiver that doesn't support 4K passthrough, among a lot of other things.

I'd like a 7.2 receiver at 100 watts per channel, and I'd like to spend around $600 or so. I'd also like something with an on-screen display but that might just be standard on a lot of receivers nowadays. Whatever TV I end up with will also have a 120Hz refresh rate (think I read that matters somewhere in regards to 4k HDMI passthrough?) I also don't play video games at all either, just movies only.

I'm considering the Onkyo TX-NR6100 or Yamaha RX-V6A. See there's some mixed reviews on both of these models though. I think I've also heard Denon makes good receivers but I'm not very familiar with the brand.

Is there anything else that should be on my radar, or something I'm overlooking that I need to read up on before making a decision?

Appreciate any advice or recommendations--thanks in advance!
