Maybe a lot of you hated my layout, so help me with some new ideas!

I've been slowly updating this little media corner and wanted to see what people think.

The main upgrades were the wood media console, the record player, small speakers, some baskets for storage, a few plants, and a 65" Canvas S7 above everything. I wanted this corner to feel warm and useful, but not too much like a standard TV setup. I've had the Canvas S7 for about a month now and it's been great so far, no issues. The biggest thing for me is that it really feels like art when I'm not watching anything. The matte screen helps a lot.

I still use it as a normal TV, but most of the time it just blends in like a large framed piece, which is exactly what I wanted.

Would you change anything here? Maybe different wall decor, less stuff on the console, or more plants?

Finally upgraded the TV in my living room theater setup and went with a 65” Hisense U7.

I know 65” is not huge by home theater standards, but for my room size and seating distance it feels like a pretty solid fit. I mostly wanted something that could handle movies, sports, and some console gaming without pushing the budget too far.

First impressions are good. HDR content has more punch than my old TV, and the color looks cleaner without needing a ton of tweaking right away. I tested a few darker movie scenes and some fast sports clips, and motion was better than I expected, especially with camera pans and quick action.

I still need to spend more time dialing in the picture settings. I’m also planning to hook up my console later this week and test the higher refresh rate and gaming features.

Next step is probably improving the audio side. Right now I’m still using my current basic setup, but this TV upgrade made me want to start building the room out a little more properly.
