[tinman related] Post your A/V set up, once and for all

100 inch phillips hdtv









i wish...

 

I did consider painting it (the black out cloth is really a very light grayish white). But thought better of it. So I left it alone. Anyway, most digital projectors these days are bright enough that a gray screen isn't a problem. In some cases, a gray screen is preferred since it does increase perceived contrast.

 

Nah, I'd rather have one of these

 

but is it hdtv??

panasonic is putting into the market real soon or already a 103' 1080p plasma
that will retail for 80,000

 

Currently the largest in the world. (although the miami dolphins have one that they claim is larger.. depends on how you measure it)

 

Plasmas are known for running pretty hot. Wonder if you can heat your house with that thing ....

 

Wrong...check Toshiba's at a Japanese Race Track

 

I heard about this thing, didn't realize they finished building it. So I guess the japanese win again when it comes to extravagant electronics...

 

Samsung 46" 1080p LCD
Samsung Upconvert DVD
Harmon Cardon Receiver
KEF 5.1 Speaker System
X3 Modded Xbox with 400GB HD
Xbox 360
Time Warner HD DVR

 

You're all wrong! Las Vegas kicks everybody's ass (it aint the city of lights for nothing: The Fremont Street Experience



In case yall argue that it's not HD: "The 2004 upgrade features a 12.5-million LED display..."

 

UHDTV isn't bad either...

nice setup, big screen especially for only 1600 bucks, most LCDs don't sell that low.

that UHD thing looks awesome, can you imagine watching a Rockets game on that thing??? Life-Like???



but still, this is pretty nice also

WTF?!? .... They shoulda sampled some PrOn.

 

of course, i've seen both of these!

at the north texas game they said they are working on getting full 16:9 hd replays, but now they have it split screen for action and commericials/ads

 

very nice baiter,

where did u put your speakers?

 

Damn, that's pretty cheap for a 103-foot tv. But I don't know where I'd put it...

 

After reading this thread I feel so inadequate!

29" Panasonic tube tv, vcr, dvd
100 watt Panasonic reciever
Harmon Kardon 5.1 setup
New Zealand version of Tivo called MySky (which is my favorite thing ever)

One good thing about my situation is that I had the speakers mounted on the ceiling and the wires are invisible. We also built an alcove in the room, so it basically is an unobtrusive media setup. I desperately want the badass LCD, but we just built a new house and we want to travel to Europe, so money is a bit tight. I keep telling myself that the longer I wait, the cheaper and better all of this home theater stuff will be. My dream is to have all of my music and film media on hard drives ready to go and be used by wi-fi connections all over the house, inside and out. Does anybody see that on the tech horizon?

 

google "crappy tv" and pick something at random for me.

 

The speakers are mounted on the ceiling with the center channel on the wall above the TV. I have the sub in a corner. I'm on the top floor so I had the maintenence guy run wires for me for $20. I hate wires everywhere.
