Hey, is anyone here into home theater stuff? I'm contemplating moving from standard Dolby surround to an Atmos receiver, and am not completely sold on the fact that it may or may not be a "wow-level" improvement. (I have to decide before I have to keep the one I bought earlier this week.) Lol!

I know... "Try it and see," but I don't have a good way to temporarily install and test height speakers.

I'll just say that the Atmos on my phone sounds damn amazing.

After much study and complications of my brain, I settled on a Samsung SSD. They've never done me wrong, so Samsung it is.

I have the capability in my tuner, but I also have an angled ceiling, so its a no-go for my current house. Otherwise, I'd be on it.

If you have a Samsung phone... may I suggest this setting?

An angled ceiling may not be a stopper, COS.

When *I* was middle-aged, haha, Seagates were budget middle grade. SSDs have a "speed rating." Might be the "crisp issue.". And Defrag?

To back up my theory, I successfully produced the video to a second SSD that I have in the laptop (I pulled out the BluRay Drive). I've noticed the laptop doesn't seem to run as "crisp" as it has been in the past. I am currently running the HD Optimizer built in to Windows 10, and I'll see if that helps. Otherwise, I guess I'm getting a new HDD. I've had Western Digital drives fail in the past, but I've always been able to recover the files. Every Seagate just dies.... no hope.
