Anyone have a Samsung 7100 UHD? There is a good sale on them right now. The thing I am unsure of is the audio out options. It looks like there are only two. One is optical. The other is a minijack. I assume that is used in place of the RCA style. I need to be able to use both at the same time. One for a sound bar or something similar. The other for a set of wireless headphones. Anyone ever try something like this? I fear plugging something into the minijack will cut off the optical out. Or the other way around. Thx. Awards

Then you will have a 2 or 3 outdated TV that cost you 2 to 3 times as much...if that still dosn't change your mind...read the article carefully...here are a few things to look out for... If you plan to use a smart TV for streaming, consider the type of Wi-Fi it comes with. The best right now is 802.11ac, which can deliver several gigabits per second of data. You'll want the best, especially for 4K video. The minimum native refresh rate you'll see these days is 60 frames per second, or 60Hz. The most is around 120 Hz. Organic light-emitting diode screens are pricey, but will give you true blacks and better colour representation because each pixel illuminates on its own. Regular, LCD screens require a backlight, which can wash out the colours a bit. If you're willing to pay for OLED, you'll likely get every other goodie thrown in besides 4K.

I have also read they do suffer from burn-in eventually, which is why you dont see many OLED computer monitors. They cant handle 24/7 static images in the long term. So they arent flawless. But in any case there arent any 40 inch models available. Which is the largest I can fit in the cabinet. Awards

Something that will take multiple sources... switching as needed to the correct device... and outputting to speakers as well as a headset at the same time. The last part is a requirement. The headset would be via RCA outputs or something else going to a wireless set of headphones. It all looks so complicated as opposed to simply hooking up the TV to a stereo. Awards
