So much better than the old one (though I love her and will certainly keep her as a backup)!!!! The remote is so much better, love love love that I can adjust the clarity from the remote instead of manually doing it. Only thing I would mention is that with the old one you certainly need a speaker to have a good movie night and with the reviews from this one people made it seem like I didn’t need one and the sound quality was great— disagree it sounds the same as the last one and still needs a speaker. Other than that I truly love it and am so so so happy w this purchase!
