jackwanders Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 how's the samsung slimfit? It's got a few issues, but for an $800 HDTV, that's pretty much to be expected. The 4:3 image has a bit of warping at the top and bottom, but I stretch all my 4:3 inputs to 16:9 anyway, so that doesn't affect me. There's also a small purple discoloration in bottom right corner, but I'm fairly certain that it's related to tilting the image too much. After resetting the tilt to just one 'unit' to the left, it's mostly faded away and I don't notice it anymore. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the purchase. Good colors, brightness, contrast, the whole deal. Plenty of inputs for my DVD player and game consoles. And after using the AVIA calibration DVD, the picture's even better :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271229-definitive-home-theatre-setup-thread/page/4/#findComment-587359201 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inertia Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I just took pictures of my home cinema/ xbox 360 setup for the xbox 360 pictures thread as it includes my hoem cinema setup ile postt them here too. I havent dug out the model numbers for everythgin, but i did research most of the components quite a lot, and have repalced ones i wasnt happy with, as a result its a realy enjoyable setup. Click the pictures for bigness. Gamepads, Remotes, Media Center Keyboard, and a view of most stuff. My fairly recent 40" 16:9 Samsung 720P LCD TV (Recently replaced my Pioneer 4:3 40" Plasma) Running Media Center 2005 With no flash 2 Cable recievers feeding my dual tuner media center 2005 computer (on the bottom) and controlled by it, note the cardboard so that the media center can control the boxes independantly, ghetto. My Yamaha 5.1 Rcciever / Amp sits in between. Love this amp. Tannoy MX-10 Subwoofer, pretty loud and pretty low :D. I can see where i miss when dusting now, thanks to the flash. Yeh I knwo the wires are messy. My Main Front Speakers, made by mission, they are bi wired to channels A and B on my amp and sound amazing, I usualy play music in 2.1 through these and the sub woofer for the best sound. I game in 5.1 of course and watch TV in Pro Logic. My Rear surround speakers, also Mission floor standers, these sound spretty good and as they are only rear surrounds dont have to work as much, I think they are a bit ugly though and want to replace them some day. Sony Playstation 2, pretty much retired, i havent played it since i bought my 360, I bet its pretty poo looking on my new TV scaled any way. The xbox 360, with my media center 2005 remote control receiver to the right of it, and my Gale center speaker above it. It took my weeks to find a center speaker that sounded good, and fitted in that slot, it look snice too, bonus. xBox Games, Oblivion Guide, Headset. PS2 Games, cant see these gettign used for a while, if ever. Im very happy with the setup, the only thingg i will change is the rear speakers and the remote control situation. I want that logitech harmony remote that does Media Center 2006 and scripts everything else so its integral. Im strugglign to find a UK supplier for that so if anyone knows of one please let me know. For speakers, im thinking of replacing the front ones with the same model but the 3 woofer version, and putting those ones at the rear.
