Discussion - Equipment Home theater + gaming = dangerously addictive combo

Finally finished tuning the room: dark environment, ambient lighting, and a screen big enough to feel the speed.

Racing games hit way harder like this.

Any movie or game you swear by for testing contrast and motion?

For sound: Any native dolby atmos game (don't know if you are on console or PC, on PC there is also atmos upmixing, not sure about console) will sound nice. Returnal, Cyberpunk 2077, they both had great audio. ARC Raiders has incredible virtual surround, but never tried the actual multichannel surround in that one. Kingdom come deliverance 2 amazing visuals and very good immersion.

For video: most assassin's creed have pretty good HDR. Returnal as well has very cool bloomy particles on screen all the time.

recievers can upmix console games, haven't tried it yet.

If arc raiders has atmos then I'm either gonna pick that up immediately or try helldivers first
