Sure I'll give ya some thoughts

1st ... what inputs does your tv have?? vga perhaps?

If your TV/Monitor has vga cable, you will not notice the difference between HDMI and vga. I know from recent personal experience. I tried both connections on my 28" lcd monitor for my puter and could notice no difference....although theoritically it would be better to go HDMI only....so you do not convert a digital signal to analog then back to digital....but I could not notice any difference in High Def.

I just put a digital tuner card in my pc at my warehouse so I could watch FREE OVER AIR HIGH DEF TV.....its freeking awesome

I now get 56 digital channels for FREE ..... on my crappy warehouse puter with a 28" monitor....now I tinker on my toys with CRYSTAL CLEAR TV in the background.

Shoot I watched the Gator game in FREE High Def on my puter till halftime .... then went home....My FREE over air high def picture was better than my cable feed at home.

F' Cable and Dish

 

nice deej.....u know, they make wireless speakers. lol

 

Yea they make wireless but you still have to add another component to the rear and front which adds to all the crap and they do get interference. A friend of mine has them and he says he wishes that he had the hard wired speakers now.

 

aaaaahhhhhhh......figured the technology would be better...

 

Deej likes running wires!

 

And they call me Mr Sparky.

 

A friend of mine came over and rescued me, it seems that I needed a digital optical cable to finish everything up. Here is the project finally done. I got so borrow a Blu-Ray to see what it looks like and all I can say is WOW!!!

 

Actually, if you are using TOSLink (optical) cables, there are several surround formats you cannot use, including: Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD-HR, Dolby True HD, DTS-HD-MA.

They can only support 16bit sound, not 24bit. Most HT junkies either run 6 or 7 channel analog, or run their surround audio over the HDMI in order to take advantage of all the newer and HD sound formats.

Drop me a line if you need pointers or info.

Part of my setup:

Westinghouse 42in 1080i (p looks marginaly better, not worth the extra $)

Klipsch RS-62 rears (not pictured)
Klipsch Synergy Sub-12 650w sub
Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD with 1080 upscaler (makes regular dvds look better than evne Oppo's best upscaler)

Hey I don't know about all that, all I know is that last night we watched Transformers and it makes me not want to go to a theatre ever again, 5.1 all around, there were sounds coming from all different directions and from the right direction. It was DA BOMB..THE SHAZIZZLE, AND THE SHIZNIT ALL ROLLED INTO ONE! We also watched something from Netflix through the X-Box and it was near DVD quality. I am so pumped, its like my old system was an 8 track and I just got my first CD LOL

 

By the way the ceiling is not curved, I don't know why it looks that way in the picture. Oh and we watched a little off a Blu-Ray and I have to say, it makes the picture so clear that its like looking at a brand new salt water fish tank. Dang! Now I need to decide between watching TV and riding my KLX. This is not fair.......oh yea that's why we have the night. Its God's way of saying movie time.
