I got my 811 installed yesterday. Monitor is a Samsung DLP HLN507W.
Everything looks great. I put an antenna in my attic (radioshack boom (about 8 feet long) and I can receive 15 OTA digital channels. Signal strength on most are over 85% and I haven't tried to rotate the antenna to improve this. Picture seems great at this signal level. What do most of you get on your OTA signals?
I can notice some fan noise but it isn't loud enough to be annoying. I didn't have a 6000 so I can't comment on the difference.
One question - when I set to 720p there is about a 1/2 inch black box around the whole screen when watching HDTV. Is this normal? This is the first time I've ever watched anything in HD. I switched to 1080i which looks great but if that is how 720p is supposed to look I'll switch to that.
I highly recommend DVI connection. I had a spare cable from a PC monitor and you can definitely notice a difference.
Looking forward to zoom update. It's hard to watch the old format with the black bars.
Overall I'm really happy. Now, bring on the 921!!!!
