post pictures of your setup!

Here's a shot of NBC-HD's coverage on one of my sets. Actually, it's that Sony commercial ... as received in HD on my Samsung tuner.

That's the sweetest focking setup I have ever laid eyes upon!

see attached pic for my setup

You are in severe need of a TV stand dude. I chose the sony over your TV, mostly because the stock stand for your tv was a ridiculous 600$! F that!

I like the built in look, I have thought about doing it with my entertainment center when we remodel our family room. I will probably have a separate built in shells for my components though...

Built in look? That's my queue.

Since this picture was taken, I've replaced that 4900 with a 6000 and the green ethernet cable has been removed.

Nice set up Cyclone.. Was the hole already in the wall or did you construct it for the TV. The TV looks really high above the fireplace. What height is it at? That is a major contrast to mine in terms of TV height placement. Any neck problems? My bother-in-law is thinking about placing his above the fireplace. Any problem with heat?

Here's my little setup.

 

[Cyclone]

It is pretty high up there in the wall. It was included with the house. My 27" looked pretty pathetic in there. The thought of heaving a 205lbs 34" Direct view tube into there wasn't feasible. So I found I could put a 42" plasma n there. Its worked well and temps have never been a problem.

The couch is 14" back from the screen, so our necks are fine. Surprisingly enough, the mantle deflects the heat away from the TV nook. So it doesn't get very hot in there with the fireplace goining.

 

[Unthinkable]

Here is mine.

I assume you meant 14' . WOW that is good distance. That should help those artifact issues. the 42" plasma looks much nicer in that space. With my brother's room he won't be 14' so it could be an issue for sure. Nice seperation on your speakers(Something I wish I could have gotten). Any issues with the fact that the center speaker is so much lower that the right/left fronts?

Thanks Cyclone. The wife and I mainly designed the cabinet and we had a guy that builds cabinets out of is garage build it. We are very happy with the results.

It was my pet project while I was out of work for a couple of months during a forced job transition.

 

[GaryPen]

Ah yes. The best time to make tens of thousands of $$$ of home entertainment purchases is during a period of unemployment. God bless America!

As a matter of fact I do have a whirlpool. Good observation! The vacuum cleaner shaped sub woofer was on clearance so I picked it up cheap. It has great base response!
