Am I the only one who seems to care about sound probably more so than picture? I don't have an HD telly (but I will soon )

[suniil]

Not really IMHO! Several AVF guys i know still have CRTs in their cenima setup but with high end AVR / Subs etc etc

Nick, what size is that Sammy?

[Howard]

I have one now

[Jay]

anyone here have the NTL/Telewest HDTV Box?

I have it and there is 1 HD Channel (BBC test), some HD Movies that you can rent and that it! Is there any news of any other HD Channels on NTL/Telewest HD?

I have a 37" Tosh LCD TV (i'll post pics up tonight)

[Howard]

I am absolutely loving it! I've just finished off my HTPC (3GHz Pentium D powered) which now does a superb job of playing HD x264 clips And I'm an HD convert. Roll on NTL HD (will be going for that once it's actually out, and there's a bit more content).

My screen Steve B is the 40inch R7, I got my cabinets from Ikea, only £40 each

[Steve B]

cheers bud, its a really nice telly

does a dell 2405fpw count as being HD, if im playing 720p trailers off of quicktime??

[Nick F]

Yeah, I'm sure you can get away with it. I used to watch HD stuff on my 20inch PC monitor, the difference between 20" and 40" is stupid though

[Steve B]

in that case, as of christmas day:

24" 2405FPW
1 x Denon Av1507 7.1 AV Receiver
2 x KEF Cresta 10's
2 x KEF Q5's (if i can afford them!)
2 x Sides (As yet, unchosen)
1 x Center (ditto)
1 x Sub (ditto)

If anyone could give me any advice on the other 3 speakers and sub, i'd appreciate it

Also got my Wii, a VHS player (using as a tuner until i get the digibox) and the media pc hooked up to it, and it sits at the end of my bed.

Will post some pics once its all set up

20" 2407? Thats a new one

Kef make some good speakers, I would be tempted by Monitor Audios speakers though, mate of mine has them (and a 52" Plasma) and they sound awesome. Got some good reviews too

[Howard]

I have a full compliment of Monitor Audio speakers and the sound is fantastic for movies and music, it's so enveloping and powerful, especially DTS 6.1

[Steve B]

post edited, as im more awake this time

how much are the monitor audios?

Using a Teac system until my Av receiver comes on crimbo day, and my VCR is over by my desktop, as ive not got a long enough coaxial cable

[uchiha_itachi]

Steve B, how have you got your wii connected to the Dell? And whats the image quality like?
