I have the older bulkier version
you can get an ethernet adaptor too
Amazon has some 4k,
using this, you get Netflix, which has some 4k too, costs £2 pcm extra I think
As many past threads show.

When you fire up your console (I'd recommend the PS4 Pro) and play something horror based for the first time and get the surround sound running properly - do not do it drunk!
You'll crap yourself!

The fact that you know which cable is which before you use them causes entirely normal and unavoidable bias.
In a proper double blind experiment the cables would be numbered by Person A. They would know which is which.
They would pass the cables to Person B. Who only knows the numbers and not the actual item. Person A will never tell Person B which is which or the prices / makes etc.
Person B will be the one plugging them into the system. They will not have access to the Viewer / Listener.
The viewer will not be able to see which one is being plugged in just in case there are any body language triggers.
B will sometimes plug the same one in twice in a row. Sometimes will do then in number order, then sometimes completely randomly.
The viewer won't be able to see or hear anything person B does - The viewer will not be given the same item Numbers as Person B. They won't even relate to a particular cable, it will be a test number.
So comparing Cable 1 with 2 would be called TEST A. Did the viewer like the X or Y better?
Test 2 would be: Did the viewer like X or Y better - NOT knowing that they were the same cable No1.
Test 3 would be the reverse of Test 2 - using Cable 2 as both options.
Test 4 would be the same as Test 1 but swapping the order.
etc etc. The tests would be repeated over and over again to remove flukes.
The viewer would complete his bit of paper saying which one he liked best, still not knowing whether he has genuinely ranked one better than the other or whether he thinks he identifies differences when in fact the same cable has been used for X and Y in that particular test segment.
Only when the test is completed do the separate elements come together so the true identity of each cable is revealed.
Only then will the testing process show an unbiased result (with a sample size of 1 viewer) showing that 1 cable is preferred over another.
And then the whole lot needs to be done again with at least 1500 viewers to make the result statistically relevant.
That is proper testing.

They don't want genuine results and neither do the makers of £5000 IEC power cables.
Advertising revenue would plummet and ultimately the makers would go out of business.
It's even funnier when people claim they can hear differences that won't even show up on a 'scope.

Sony STRDN 1080 amp. Cambridge Audio minx speakers - the min 12s (five of em) and the 201 sub. That is a killer sound setup, I have it twice over in our house. Loud, tons of bass but very well balanced. Great amp, the best for under £450.
Get some good cabling and you will have enough for a good TV, at least a grandsworth. Philips do some corkers for under a grand, seriously good value.
A lot of the very high end amps really are snake oil, they just shove in bigger transformers and big capacitors (not in value but in physical size) with the same circuit as a smaller cheaper hi-fi amp.
And of course a nice snazzy metal box.
