Below are some quick shots of the set. I haven't even had a chance to tune it... but it is working. Please excuse the entertainment center. My dad and I removed the bridge last night b/c our whole first floor is having the hardwoods replaced! So the TV is setup until this weekend... then it will be safely snuggled away in our bedroom until the work is done. ONce that's all taken care of I'll get better pics


Behind the sofa...



Little bit closer...

 

Oh, and the 50" that was down there has been moved to the bonus room. One day this room will be decorated, but for now it will have to stay as is until we finish up outside

Right in front of the couch...




Behind the seating area near the air hockey...

 

I feel so behind, I only have a 50"-er

must make more money LOL

 

WTF Michael Strahan is out this week

 

^ Hehe, see I should have posted a copy of this in the Fantasy Football section

But yeah, he's been out for several weeks now...

 

very nice Junior............!!

 

goes good with teh entertainment center

 

I'm jeolous. It looks great.

I'm buying my DLP today. Hope it gets here soon.

 

Forget the TV, that entertainment centre is awesome.

 

Nice looking set. He needs to breathe though (not a fan of entertainment centers). Are you familiar with the Samsung service menu? It looks like you might be cropping the bottom of your ESPN ticker.

 

Nice JB. I'm a fan of the entertainment center as well.

 

That's a nice entertainment center JB.

The 50 inch is nice, i just upgraded from a 36 inch Sony and it's a world of difference. Making more money does sound nice though.

 

how do you like having your center channel so distant from the focal point of your TV?

i'm struggling with center channel placement and may be forced to do something similar.

 

^^^ at least it's still in the center, and not off to teh side. If you are sitting at an optimal veiwing distance from a tv that large, then the sound wave dispersion will be significant enough that you won't even notice it.

 

Plenty of room to breathe. Has about 5" or so on each side and a good 12"-18" behind, plus there are small vents in the rear veneer... so it gets plenty of air circulation.

The bottom of the ticker was being cropped.. had to do with the output of the cable box. It reset itself b/c it was unplugged for a day... but I reconfigured it and all is well

 

That's how it has always been (it was the same way when the 50" set was in there) and we have never had a problem. I just made sure the center channel was centered over the TV and adjusted the speaker so it points slightly down towards the seating (rear "leg" on the speaker screws in and out to allow for this) and it's been great...

 

Thanks for the compliments on the entertainment center. It's actually not complete in that pic b/c it's missing the bridge.

And those with a keen eye will notice the console the 50" is sitting on in the bonus room is the same console piece as the full entertainment center downstairs . Yes, we like it that much that we bought the same console for upstair.

 

This may be coming from out in left field but has anyone watched any pron in Hi-Def yet? If so, can you see all the imperfections (stretch marks, hickeys, bruises, etc.)?

 

I thought about it before, but the way my TV's positioned, the people across the street can see it...

 

What's wrong with your floors?

Oh and FYI... Best Buy put the TV on sale again this week after taking it off last week. Price now is $2099.99!! Thanks to the 60 day price match guarantee (even though I only bought it 12/3) I got another ~$270 back

So if anyone is pondering this TV... now is the time!!

 

Nice, its always nice to get money back. I just got off the phone with my boss who confirmed my tv will be in tomorrow. It's a 42" LG plasma that I am getting for $800

 

why so cheap?

 

^ Who... me or Audi?

If me, don't know... I think they're trying to make those year end numbers

If Audi... probably b/c he gets them wholesale or gets deals through his company since he's in the biz...

 

 

thought so nice...thats how i picked up my last tv

 

Must be nice..... well that's like me paying $20 bucks for bottle of Remy XO (family owns liquor store) I guess ppl have their own way with things...

Care to do little group buy for us?? I would LOVE little plasma tv mounted on my bathroom wall. Reading magazine can get boring at times...
