I hope I'm not making a duplicate post, but I was browsing some other forums and they had a similar thread. I thought to myself there is no way I'm signing up for yet ANOTHER forum for home theater's alone so I went back to my roots, F150online

I completed mine recently, it's a 50" 1080p Panasonic Plasma, was voted in 08 the best picture plasma! Still wish I had a 120hz+ LCD for gaming.

The PC is a clear acrylic case you build. I'm sure nobody cares about the specs so the important stuf is as follows: Has a Blu-Ray drive & HD-DVD drive. Graphics card is an ATI HD4890 (overclocked). The Samsung LCD and Panasonic Plasma are both on those 6 way pivoting wall mounts that come off the wall about 2-3 Feet. I really wish I could find a solution to get rid of the damn desk altogether. The surround sound sucks, I'm sure once I hear a good surround sound system I'll understand the passion for perfect sound, but I try to stay away from those people, they just cost me money :P I have 2 wireless keyboard/mouse setups (one HTPC keyboard with a trackball built) for my bed, and the other a nice Logitech 3000 at the desk.

In the picture I'm watching a 1080p non-compressed version of Cars (28GB) file. I suck with cameras, but I wish I could capture the clarity of a good plasma. And no offense to LCD owners I know there are equal LCD's in terms of picture quality, I just cannot see the picture being any clearer without going up in resolution. I really hate the refresh rate limit of 60hz I'm limited to with my HTPC.

I'm very interested in your setup for cool ideas, please post!

 

Ive really had my eyes on the new samsung LED tvs, they are sweet!

My roommate is about to leave (and therefore sound setup [as crappy as it is] is gone). I need ideas, so it's time to follow this thread. haha

 

Strictly 2 channel here. I'm far more biased to music, but it does do a very nice job when its time for the dvd, or just HD TV. Honestly, to do a 5, 6, or 7 channel with some junk receiver doesn't intrigue me, and to do it correctly will cost more than I can afford

System:

-Panasonic plasma 50" TH-50PX600U
-Magnepan MG-1.6 loudspeakers
-OPPO DV-980H DVD player (Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray coming soon)
-Smart Devices 2X150VT 150 watt hybrid amplifier
-Wright Sound WLA12A vacuum tube preamp
-Jolida JD-100A vacuum tube CD player
-HH Scott 350 tube stereo FM tuner (ya, it's 47 years old and it sounds incredible)
-ACI Force 10" active subwoofer
-Blue Jeans LC-1 interconnects
-Blue Jeans 7787A component
-12" inner tubes under all components
-Homemade shelf/rack

 

I don't have any pictures but I have a 42" Sanyo LCD 1080p HDTV with a Sony surround sound that is 1100 watts and a 5 disc DVD changer.

And I love every bit of it!

 

In the main rec-room which we hardly use, we have this set up:



It's one of the new Samsung's with 120 hz.Nothing fancy with the sound, have it going through an old JVC
stereo which is prob as old as I am.

Most of our tv watching takes place on the opposite side of the wall from the previous photo:
