Lets talk TV's and Home theater systems!
 

Discuss what you have, model number, price and where you found them. Looking for a 42" Flat panel screen and a nice system. Thanks.

I don't have a decent surround sound on my tv yet. Its a old sony turner, 6 disc changer. I do have a 61" Samsung DLP. Bad ass tv.

TVs: I have an Apex 27" CRT that's probably 5-8 years old, and a Panasonic 30" CRT that's probably 15 years old. Oh, and a Zenith that's probably 14" or so and probably 20 years old.

On top of the Apex, there is a Panasonic stereo VCR. On top of that, an Emerson DVD player. On top of that is a messy pile of miscellaneous DVDs, a couple VHS tapes, and a Star Trek: Enterprise box set. Next to that pile is a Nosquito electric bug trap. Next to that there's a small digital cable box, on top of which is an alarm clock since the stupid box doesn't have a display.

Next to the TV there's a 20 year old Panasonic faux-component stereo, a 20 year old Sony CD player, and I can't remember what else.

Below the TV there's a random collection of old-ass game consoles, NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. We don't use those. In fact, we don't use most of the crap I described...just the TV, clock, bug thingy, cable box, and occasionally the DVD player.

Oh, and on top of the Panasonic tv: Hitachi VCR, Apex DVD player, miscellaneous collection of DVDs mostly not in their box.

I was going to post a funny picture that I would get from doing a google iamge search for "white trash", but the search produced some hooters, so I'll post those instead.

I've got a full-hd 50" Panasonic plasma tv, just enough to game with xD
but I want it bigger & better though, I'm gonna buy myself a nice projector with a resolution of 1920×1080 (costs 'round the 3000€ (Sony one), but it lasts a lifetime! :D)

I've got a 37" HD Samsung TV. It's awesome. I bought it from www.laskeys.com , (a few years back) it cost £600 but the leading high street retailer (Argos if you've ever heard of it) had it for a price of £890!

I do have a 5.1 surround sound system, if I can ever be bothered to get the leads and plug it into my TV haha!

Living room :

Samsung 68 Inch 1080P DLP TV, Dennon 777 Reciever, Yamaha Fronts, Center and Rears, MTX 12 Inch Subwoofer, Samsung Blueray player, and of course the 360

The bed room just has a Samsung 50 Inch Plasma

Edit: Went home and noticed the bedroom tv is 50 inches, not 42 lol


Later,
Will

living room: 13" Emerson with built in VHS tape, custom bunny ears, and I broke the side panel to get to the speaker so I could wire in a new one, the old one broked.

haha, I have an atari that would work well with your system...

Seriously Atari Frogger FTW

haha I have an atari in the closet somewhre with a shitload of games (pitfall ftwwww)

The old ski game was BAD ASS ....

Or the 2 player tank game, where you use the paddles to shoot the other persons tank!

Ha Ha :waytogo:

Nice set-up, I think a 68" is out of my range but a 42" is do able, also i want to get me a kickass sorround sound system, is it better to piece it togheter than buying a kit? because some of them are priecy.

When I get home tonight Ill post up some pictures of my 50 inch.... Its really the perfect size for movie watching/gaming ect.... the 68 inch requires you to have a large living room because you need to be sitting about 15ft away from the TV if you plan on watching it for a long time.


Honestly for me to piece together my surround sound cost a lot more then most kits out there.

Dennon 777 - $700.00
MTX 12 Inch - $200.00
Yamaha speakers - $400.00
Blueray - $250.00

So I have like 1650.00 just in parts for my surround sound... Not including the 360,game cube and other crap thats plugged into that TV.


However you dont need such a high end reciever for every set up, I just really wanted HDMI switching and MULTI room controll... My kitchen has two 8 inch 3 way Yamaha speakers flush mounted in the roof that I wanted to controll from it aswell.


Is this set up going in your living room? bed room?
Mainly watch movies, Mainly game?
As far as surround sound, mainly for watching movies? Mainly for listening to music?
How nice of a set up do you want, do you care if its 720,1080?
Are you going to use HDMI cables, or just component?
Whats your budget?

Tell us a little more and Im sure I can post up some ideas for you...

Im watching a inmate's TV its a 7 inch what what im balling son.

Well for here it goes Living Room

TV Sony KD46Z4100 1479.00 At American TV

+1 for having GM toys all over the fucking living room

I know I know, Gotta make the wifey happy.

I can finally join this thread. I just got a 42" LG 1080p. I'm kind of new to the tv world so is there any way to get the picture to look like it was in best buy or is that only HD channels?

HD channels. Non-HD will look kinda blurry, kinda weird. Hook an antenna up to it and grab some HD channels from the air and see how they look.

oh ya and your a whore

Yeah I have DTV but I have to get a new box for the HDchannels. It sucks that normal channels look shitty. :| Yeah, I'm a whore.

I'm rocking a 32" RCA from like 2002, I need to upgrade

srsly though, your tv most likely has a built in tuner so throw a cheap antenna on there and as long as you are near some signals, your probably get more channels than you thought and the quality amazed me when i saw it compared to OG antenna reception

I'm not sure I follow what kind of antenna you're talking about lol.
