So, after much looking I got the Sony 50" rear projection LCD. Not state of the art, not plasma, but looked best in the eyeball test with regular TV signal. Has some kind of signal doubler that fakes HD. Since we only get 6 HD channels now, and all the sets looked good in HD, this was my pick.
So my buddy sees it and brings me his old Bose surround system that was gathering dust in the garage. Little speakers that sound like big ones. Hook up that puppy, plug in the laptop, and wow. I'm surfing, listening to James Taylor, and in the Stoli. Life is good (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Picture doesn't do it justice. Attached image(s) |

Yay. Congratulations!! We've had HD for a while and totally love it.
The HBO and SHO shows really make good use of the HD, btw - we've particularly enjoyed Six feet under, Carnivale, Rome, Huff, Sleeper Cell. |

Those speakers kick butt! Bose aren't the most efficient transducers on the block, but they rock! |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) I was just at the BOSE factory outlet last weekend drooling and having an aureal orgasm. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif) I need $8000.00 really quick (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif) Their complete setup is really sweet. It comes with a reciever that werks as an am/fm reciever, cd player, dvd player, crossover for the speaker package and can be bought as an upgraded unit that you can store up to 3400(?) hrs of cd's on (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

What concerns me is that you are sitting back drinking Stoli while watching a picture of McMark in bondage. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Actually - Free BOSE stuff is okay - but generally Bose products are extremely well marketed, way over priced and not terribly good quality. I would check out http://liquidtheater.com/editorial_56.html for more info - or do some searches on http://www.avsforum.com Sorry to rain on the parade. HD is awesome and having nice speaker system to back it up is still awesome (esp when it's free!). |

Our setup is front projection - so it's very sensitive to ambient light - we only use it with the shades down during the daytime.
Some of the LCDs and CRT TVs are better though. |
