      <description>&lt;![CDATA[So the other day, I went to get groceries at the local Sam&#39;s Club with my dad. While we were walking around, I noticed there was a TV on clearance: a 65&#34; Samsung for $210. My dad immediately scooped it up for his bedroom. Well, it ended up not working out for his bedroom, so it&#39;s going in my game room for the time being. !--more--&#xA;&#xA;Holy moly, this TV is huge in that room. It feels like it takes up the entire wall. It&#39;s an upgrade from the 49&#34; TV my mom gifted me. The screen quality is perfectly acceptable for me at this time. The main drawback is it only has 2 HDMI inputs. I have several consoles to hook up, and I really dislike swapping cables around if I want to play something else.&#xA;&#xA;The original solution I came up with was I would need to buy a receiver. I found one that I knew would work without compromising on loss of quality. I was just going to have to save up $600 to get it. I ended up talking with a friend way more familiar with gaming AV stuff, and he suggested I save some money and get a thing called an HDMI matrix. I&#39;d never heard of it, but it&#39;s essentially a receiver without all the bells and whistles to do surround sound and whatnot. So I dropped $50 to get a used one on Ebay that should fit in nicely with my setup.&#xA;&#xA;With the money saved, I think I&#39;ll end up getting an OSSC and another Raspberry Pi. I&#39;ll still wind up under my initial budget, and I&#39;ll have an even better setup. Stay tuned for updates :)&#xA;&#xA;#100daystooffload  #dayfiftythree #gaming]]&gt;</description>
