This one is temporary since I'm living on base. It's an Acer H213H. Not a TV, but watch movie, use my laptop, and 360 on it.

LG 47" 120Hz 1080p (47LG70)
Onkyo Stage
Onkyo 6-disc DVD player(never use it anymore)
Infiniti Tower speakers (RS5)
Comcast HDTV box (suck they only broadcast at 1080i at 60Hz on HD stations)

Logitech Harmony 880 controls all (best universal remote ever, unless you have $400 to buy their higher end remote)

PC connects from the office with a 100ft DVI-to-HDMI cable. With the GTX260 I get X-Fi sound and 1080p video, it was way cheaper to buy a PC blu-ray player($80 craigslist) than a stand-alone.

Took a break from PC gaming to focus on another hobby, finishing up our mini home theater setup. Here's what we have:

Pioneer Kuro PDP-5020
Harman-Kardon AVR 254
Polk CSi3
Polk R50 (2)
Polk R150 (2)
Samsung BDP-2550
Ideal-lume panel lights (bias lighting)
Harmony One
Bush audio cabinet


My Macbook streams XBMC/Plex via HDMI & mini toslink for my x264 movie collection and HDTV content is pulled down automatically via Usenet RSS feeds by SABnzb+. I'll post some pics later.

i live in campus housing, so this is all in my room, which isnt very big. i stole that table from the common area lol. a real TV stand/ entertainment center isnt really feasible in there.

plus, i already have $2100 in hardware sitting there, isnt that enough? :lol:

combined with my computer, it's about $3500-$4000 in hardware in my room alone. :o

Well I just picked up my very first HD TV. Got a Samsung LN40A650. After being stuck on my 10 year old 32 inch Trinitron for so long this is like an insane upgrade and got a PS3 recently so I have a Blu-Ray player now as well.

Very nice. PS3 is one of the best things I have bought this year.

[crainger]

Every bags out the PS3 till they try one.

Funny thing is I thought I'd be the same with the Wii, but I'm still meh about it. 360, PS3 and PC have just spoiled me.

[WeReWoLf]

I haven't bagged out the PS3. I haven't bought one yet either. I have better things to spend $750 on.

[crainger]

Yeah, probably because it's 650 now...

Yea, I never understood why someone would buy an HDTV and settle for 720P.

I have a samsung hlp5085w and use it is my primary pc display. It is 720p and that works perfect for me. Everything is as clear as any standard lcd monitor, everything runs great because of 720p, I can max AA and in game settings in every game to compensate for the lower res so jaggies are not a problem and in fact supersampling with Nhancer is what I use most of the time which really makes it look as if it is running in a higher res.

I thought about a 1080p set and since a friend has a brand new high end 120hz Samsung I took my pc over to see what to expect.

Desktop text at 8 to 9 feet (recommended distance for 50 inch sets) was way too small at 1080p and I have perfect vision, the increase in resolution was not as obvious as one would think. We both have 50 in screens and I have heard that 1080p isnt a huge deal until you get around the 60 inch range. Honestly, the resolution increase was nothing to write home about so I stayed at 720p. I could go out and get one as I have had the cash for a while but I just dont see enough difference to justify it.

Here is my set.
