Home theatre

[Nomad]

This is ridiculous. No one has posted in here for a long time.
Home theatre is becoming a staple. Regular tvs are getting phased out, signals are going all digital. The prices have come down on plasma and LCD sets. You can get a 52" for under a grand now.
The market has settled on Blu Ray. More movies are coming out all the time in high def. Prices are dropping on players.
Audio choices are as integral to viewing as ever.
Id like to see pics of peoples set ups.
What kind of system do you have ?
Anyone gone all the way with a 7.2 set up yet ?
Do you have a room dedicated to movie watching ?
Are you a serious audio buff ?
Its become an event to watch movies at home for many now.
Describe your experience.

Turn the silver thing in the corner called a television on. No flat screen, wide screen all singing dancing model here.
Wait ten minutes for the television to warm up.
Spend five minutes pushing random buttons in vain hope that the television will flicker into life.
Sit for ten minutes whilst just listening and enjoy the 'radio' experience.
If you're patient and don't give into temptation to hit the television with a hammer first, you will be rewarded with a picture, eventually.
Next turn on DVD player, select your choice of film.
If, and thats a big IF, it's your lucky day, the DVD player will decide to work and you will get to see your film of choice.
You always need a back up plan in this house

My movie experiences are a DVD in the computer with headphones on. The kids have their own setup, they can afford it.

I've given up my 1/2 a movie nights-I put my favorite L.A. radio station on the computer with my headphones on, and am crocheting baby layettes....................

46" is just right.
Mine is 37" because we bought when prices were still really high. I could have a 60" for what I paid for the 37".
Luckily another tv is going on the fritz now so my options will be more plentiful next go around.
