Nothing really bad and at the price I got it at I can't complain too much. The SD looks okay (grainy) but the HD OTA is awesome, which is why I'm canceling cable but mostly due to seeing Mean Girls play 4 times a day every week it was like watching the news. I haven't played any PC games mostly console games, divx, dvd, and quality is great. The only bad parts are that the remote's most used functions are not accessible right away, the thing gets dusty, the speakers are not detachable, the black are not as crisp as I would like but that is inherent in the technology, and there is a lag when using s-video from cable box. I notice that people are getting crazy deals on these after MIR at those prices it's a no brainer.Quote:

Nice set-up man :) I'd post mine but a 10 y/o 27" JVC tube doesn't get many oooo's these days..
I totally agree with this this statement, but i just cant stop visiting to see whats new...I've been nothing but happy with my Velodyne dps-10 (which i paid 199.99 for :D), my Onkyo tx sr 602, and NHT Sb2's but whenever i read what other people are splurging on, I feel like im really missing out. I then proceed to get depressed, and in an attempt to feel better i online window shop for products costing 5x the cost of my current setup. Yes i am 110% satisfied with my setup, but the forums really make me want to spend more.Quote:

You can get the same LCD TV for $700 AR or less at Microcenter or get a PM at CompUSA or anywhere else that sells it. I paid about $1000 for it but I still think it's worth it you could probably get a 37" for that much.
yeah, i didnt realize this at all when i bought my hdtv a while back, but some movies are filmed in 2:35 aspect ratio which still creates bars although they are smaller than on a 4:3 television. every hd tv show i've seen and dvds that are 1:85 all fit nicely on widescreen tvs with no black bars. i really hate 2:35 aspect ratio because it makes you wonder what's the point of a widescreen tv. i mean, they tend to be more expensive than 4:3 hdtvs so it's kind of like throwing your money away. at least most of the shows i watch come in on local hd channels :DQuote:

Congrats man! IIRC I had responded to your HDTV signal questions. Wish I had something like that! :cool:
