The higher they are the clearer they will sound.  The only reason I went nuts is because of a long over due insurance settlement.  Otherwise it would of been back ole the old 27"er. which I gave to the in laws and they think they have a movie screen ;D

But if Anyone in the New England area is looking to invest PM me and I'll give you the phone to the dude who does the Pats.  Costly, but quality.

I'm not sure what a HDMI input is as yet  :-[ I have my ps2 and dvd plugged into it atm though?

It has a plug for my monitor as well, built in digital box...all the bells and whistles. The surround has 4 tall speakers a sub twice the size of my pc box...its off tha hook!

Be cool to see some pics of other getbiggers entertainment setups

That description almost made me hard.

Using professionals is nice but not needed and it can be very expensive. With some research and some shopping around someone could save themselves thousands and still build an excellent system.

I'll post some pics next week when I figure out how I want it for the room

Sub...maybe under the bed? suggestions....I'm thinking to have two of the tall speakers each side of the set and two in the two back corners of the room

Put the Sub in the corner, don't be afraid to move the sub around though, because different locations can really affect the sound and feel. Buy a really good centre channel. If you are gong to watch lots of movies. The center channel speaker carries most of the dialogue and sound. Only get towers if you plan on playing music separate from your video.

I have a 7.1 set-up with mirage nanoset speakers and Yamaha Amp for sound. Also I have 50" LCD Projection TV, my TV is a few years old so I only have 1080i, Oh well.

Sounds like you have a killer system. I want to buy one of those TV's for Upstairs.

I almost forgot. Make sure you get an HD Receiver. It is the best purchase you can make. Sports are absolutely amazing in HD. If you like Soccer, it helps because you can see the defenders and wingers in the play an this helps tp see how the plays are set up.

nice, I spent only 1g for a 42" lcd (has a pretty good review on cnet.com), and I got a $200 gift card.  So i bought a surge protector and stand. 

and all i payed was $1075 with tax, with $43 left on my gift card.  :o

Sounds like a good deal to me. Did you hook it up? It has a system she bought for me. I do not know the model name. It is also a Sony. I will try to hunt down the receipt. The tv is being deliever on the 23rd.

They say it takes a long time to set up? I am having them do it, lol.

I got a 50 inch TOSHIBA rear projection lcd and a jvc 37 inch lcd in my bedroom.  Once you go HDTV you cant go back!! 

Anyone own a Vizio??  You can get a 42 lcd for like 1200 bucks.
