Hi Dennis,

Working hard to make a decent setup and yes, I am taking my own sweet time to set up everything. I have lived without a TV for 2 years now :eek:

Yes, I managed it. And I lived...

Thats a great job on your first project. Congrats! It looks awesome - very professional.

Makes me wanna give something like this a try as well ;). I have some extra wood lying around my place...

Hi Dennis,

The 55inch Sony KDF-55WF655 is a tabletop TV. It does not have a pedestal of its own. Here is the link for it:

Thanks for the suggestions and insights. I was aware of the rule of keeping the speakers at least a foot or two from any object to get the best sound.

I guess I have one option left in this...

Hello,

I have the R50 floorstanding speakers. Currently, they are placed on a big stand that is about 20" tall (picture attached).

I am going to be buying a big screen tv, most likely the...

Fireshoes, thanks for mentioning the positives and the negatives for most of the newer TV technologies there.

I had been shopping for the "right" TV myself too and I was on the verge of getting...

It would be a good idea to keep the receiver and DVD player inside a small and enclosed audio/video storage.

Also, you could use silica gel (or any other drying agent) pouches and keep those...

I don't think the enhanced mode would make a difference. If the grainy picture is present while watching DVDs, then try the following (if possible):

- Remove your connections, clean them up, and...

Hello Shell,

Ideas such as ebay and ubid are good, but again when it comes to large transactions, please exercise some caution. Sellers with 1000 plus +ve feedbacks does not necessarily mean so. ...

A friend of mine got an RCA Scenium 65" DLP. It's pretty neat - the PQ is as good as Samsung DLPs on DVDs. On cable TV channels, the PQ was alright.

Samsung has a 61" DLP TV also. I think so...

yes certainly a DLP is the best choice today. Well perhaps if I wait another 2-3 months, I'd save up some extra cash for it. I might just do that.

I use my laptop to watch DVDs usually and I...

Mike,

What DVD player do u currently own? To prevent dvds from skipping, the better ones come with larger disc stabilizers that absorb shocks and also dual shock absorbing covers.

I read that article .. the link that you sent me. I'm going to go look at those LCD tvs again and watch some fast action on it. The ice hockey game did not produce any kind of blur on the LCD...

I was looking out for the artifact factor on the LCD display. They had a Sony Plasma, Sony LCD and a Samsung DLP side by side. Comparing them all, I noticed that issue on the plasma while all three...

Arrgghh!!! Sorry about the math! Don't know what I was thinking at the time. Posted that when I just woke up. Or turkey does strange things overnight in your stomach. Bleh!!!

Anyways, I went...

I believe so as in its usual for it to do that...I thought you had asked if it was a usual time delay.

I believe so. My Denon DVD900 takes about the same time to begin playing a disc. The reason seems to be the fact that it needs to performs the following operations before playing a disc:

An afterthought...

Suppose you use a DLP HDTV that has a requirement to replace the lamp every 8000 hours to get back the exceptional PQ just as though it was a new TV...Consider you use this TV...

Thanks for the replies. These are the TVs I'm considering for now:

I have been looking at some info on TVs - Analog, HDTV Monitors, HDTV Monitors (with tuners), DLP HDTVs, Plasma and LCD HDTVs.

This is what I am really wanting to get: a widescreen monitor is a...

Standby mode for me...just out of habit both receiver and dvd player...

theres H2S if you want your teevee smelling neat too :p

Ah thanks a lot for that explanation. I read about this Sony TV not having an internal HD receiver or what some call a HD tuner. Now suppose I do buy this TV, how much would I have to pay for...

Haha. yeah one day I'll get married and then all this thing will play are nursery rhymes for my kiddo...hope the kiddo likes listening to some rock, pop and jazz at a loud volume early on :)

Yup ur right. after 10pm is quiet time here. Means no blaring music after 10pm.
