Your HDTV Setups

[Tarffie]

I'm totally going to crash this HDTV orgy with a nice fishbowl CRT YAY!



I made it in collaboration with Apple and K-Swiss...

My brand new Topfield 250gb TF5800 is sitting on the awesome Asda special £14.99 DVD player. The Toppy is like one of the best gadget I've ever owned ever. Logitech Harmony 525 is the remote next to the Toppy one. 525 should be upgraded to an 885 if Pixmania ever decide to dispatch it. Hopefully getting an LCD TV in August, maybe September.

Just to balance it out, this is where I play Xbox 360.



Usually have Logitech Z5500 set up with them but I can't be bothered sorting them out when I'm only going to be here for another month.

Some very nice systems. I'm going to have to get my HTPC on the go soon

Arrived this morning - just set it up, still can't get used to how much bigger the difference between 32 and 42 inch screens.



Toshiba 42X3030DB 42" 1080p Screen
Toshiba SD-370 upscaling DVD
Virgin Media V+ Drive
Microsoft Xbox360 (when I get it back)

Just got to get a HDDVD surround sound kit when they come down in price a bit

Matt, how does the picture quality compare to the 32WLT66 (IIRC you had one before)? I'm in two minds about upgrading for something bigger like >42". Also how does 720p content look through a 1080p display ? I've always wondered this

[MD]

i haven't had the chance to give ti a proper going over, but considering i found a price error that brought this in under £800 after quidco i just couldnt resist any longer.

Just been looking at HDDVD players, it seems Tosh has some new ones out in october with VERY keen promotional prices so we will see.

When i get the chance to look at the content I will let you know what its like. interface wise its VERY similar to the 32WLT66 it replaced, but improved in all the niggly areas.

Need to get rid of the Samsung i have now though, 106" of TV in one house is just STUPID.

@ Matt : How do you fit your phone in the docking cradle?

@ Nick F : Where did you get your fish tank

It just fits

Tell you what though, im glad I got a 42", any bigger and it would have been too big for the lounge and I would have been sitting too close to it...loved the Grand prix on it, mind you I only just realised yesterday i had set my V+ drive to 720, now its on 1080i it looks much better

I've finally put the PJ up on the ceiling now and rejigged things around the lounge. Looks much tidier

My new toys. The speaker side of things were based around my old recording studio speakers, but the missus didn't want huge speakers as rears on the window sill so we had to come to a comprimise. Pics below on the link

Where to start.. Specs I guess:

TV: Sony Bravia 40" S2530
AV Reciever: Sony STR-DA1200ES
DVD Player: Onn HDMI upscaler
Centre: Paradigm CC-350
Fronts: Spirit Absolute 2's
Rears: Eltax Waves
Sub: REL Strata II

All AV is connected digitally via HDMI or coax, though the eagle eyed will notice a Wii, which is connected directly to the TV for now with composite. (yuk!)

Soundwise, it took a while to balance it all up, since the fronts are very toppy and crisp compared to the centre, which sounded a touch flat in comparison - not to mention far less sensitive. Still, it's all sorted now, but I don't think the neighbours like it one bit.. Might have something to do with the REL...

I got that TV

I cant find my digi cam to take pics of my new setup

[doddsy]

Here's my new setup, just got Sky HD installed this morning and I'm loving it!



Technosonic 32" TV
Sky HD
Dell Laptop
Xbox360
Wii

I'm currently deciding on a new TV (looks like the new 46" samsung F86 is gonna be the winner) and after that I'll be going about sorting the sound system.

[Tarffie]

New house! More of a desk shot for the other forum but I'm not taking another picture just for this place.

[ikonia]

well, finally got my new TV fitted, amp's not turned up yet along with the dvd player as they only came out on the 1st of October so they have not been delivered for setup yet, however the tv is in and the new center speaker is in and working.
