Your HDTV Setups

[doddsy]

Here's a pic of my setup. Not really in the same league as most of the ones here

I like it though!



Technosonic 32" LCD
Amstrad Sky Box
Bush DVD player (rubbish)
5.1 surround system from above DVD player (the sub is behind the pc)
My future file server/ current DVD player/media centre thing

Oh and excuse the mess.

This thread seems to have died a bit, so thought I'd pimp it up a tad

Will get some pictures up soon, but my setup involves:
Video:
Sony VPL-VW50 1080p SXRD projector
2.2m wide Ikea Tupplor screen (will get a proper screen one day ). So at 16:9 gives around 2.75m diagonal

Audio:
Sony STR-DA7100ES 9.1 digital amplifier (although I use a stereo pair driving speakers in the kitchen).
Monitor Audio R452MD fronts
Monitor Audio Radius R90 surround speakers (4 of them)
Paradigm CC350 centre speaker
Paradigm Servo 15 sub (evil mofo )

Use my PS3 as a bluray source and my PC for standard def DVDs with TheaterTek and HD-DVDs with PowerDVD Ultra.

Audio CDs are played back via a Pioneer DV757 spinner, connected to the amp via firewire / i-link. Knocks the socks off over any other connection

I know. Problem is my install is a bit heath robinson at the moment. I was going to finalise it all and put up the projector on its ceiling mount and tidy it all up but it's still just resting on a load of boxes at the back (works fine though!). I'll get some WIP pictures up then

Main stand. Above the PC in the left hand space, there's the xbox HD-DVD drive for use with the PC. Little black thing in the middle is the receiver for the wireless keyboard (ebuyer cheapie which isn't that good ) and on the right, the control box for the sub. In the middle, it's the amp, and on the right, the DVD player at the bottom with the PS3 above it.


Photo of the sub on the left.

The projector close up


Will get some photos of the pictures it produces on the screen up a bit later.

Nice TV and you have very good wall to wall mount

That is not an excuse for tidy-up cables!

I'll post me kit and get pics up shortly...

Sony 55A2000 SXRD rear-pro
Sky HD
Sony RDR-HX525 DVD/HDD recorder
Xbox 360 (connected to MCE PC upstairs)
Wii
Arcam A85 stereo amp
Rotel RCD-951 CD
Monitor Audio BR5 speakers
Lots of analogue cables that usually start arguments here and some cheap-ish digital ones.

Still looking for a good deal on PS3, and waiting 'til we move into our new house (dining room you say ? I think not !) and the new audio formats settle down before I get my toe back in the multi-channel waters. Missing it badly, and the Panny all in one in the bedroom doesn't really cut it !
