Bigred7078 11-11-08, 01:10 AM Well guys i finally got a wire cover for the wires hanging below my TV. Works/looks great! much better IMO.

P.S.- here is a fun screenshot from the movie Kung Fu Panda that i watched tonight. Perhaps the best audio visual experience i have had with a movie. The surround mix was just fantastic, and the lows were just great! i highly recommend this to everyone!

mcjasonb 11-17-08, 08:03 PM mcjasonb: custom sub-box? What's the sub?
yea it's a wimpy little custom sub i made. it's a Shiva-X in 3.3 cubes sealed with an O-audio 500 watt bash plate amp. she does good on music and for video games but she gets killed with certain movies.
Currently living in Korea in a dorm room, so I'm limited on space, but for now I upgraded to a 40" 1080p Sony Bravia from a 32" 720p Sony...the difference is amazing, especially the contrast ratio difference.

ISU1648, nice setup. Just a couple questions if you don't mind.
How does the ps3 look on the 750?
Any noticeable lag playing games?
Would you buy a different lcd if you had to do it over again?
Thanks,
Just need to buy a pot for my palm tree.

It seems the TV is larger than the back panel though. Maybe its the camera angle.

Thanks,
Thanks, i definitely enjoy the setup.
I would ABSOLUTELY buy this LCD again, every day of the week. I read/skimmed this entire thread, and saw all of the comments about lag, especially from aquastorm. I think he may just have his equipment setup incorrectly, or he's just creating problems for the hell of it, because i have ZERO lag with this TV. I have played every type of game from Madden, NHL, guitar hero, COD4.....and no lag. I recently got 007 Quantum of Solace, Resistance 2, and COD World at War, and NONE of those three games have any lag whatsoever.
The PS3 looks incredible on this set, btw, truly mindblowing. The blu-ray picture quality is to die for.

Giant Robot 11-28-08, 11:06 PM guys, I have a 50" plasma. Whats the most affordable, most secure, and easiest to install wall mount I should get?
I used this low profile mount from Monoprice:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082807&p_id=4114&seq=1&format=2
My in-law actually manufactures a lot of mounts for a lot of different companies out there and he says its basically all the same quality.
some people complained about the mounting bolts that came with this, but mine were fine.

Which Athena's did you have? And how did you like them compared to Cinema 330 and MA?
derick1105 12-01-08, 01:58 PM Which Athena's did you have? And how did you like them compared to Cinema 330 and MA?
I had the WS-60 (LCR) and WS-15 (surround).....They were great for the money for sound and looks. I would still have them if my friend didn't offer to buy it from me. The MA and Paradigm however had a stronger Mid-range.

Thanks. I am considering either the WS-60 ($100 each) or HTD Flat Panel Speaker ($150 each) for my fronts to be mounted on wall next to Panasonic th58pz800u. I am also considering the Paradigm and MA, but those are at a different price level. Since you have heard 2 of the 3 would you say the Paradigm and MA are worth the extra $200-$300 more each?
Also, do you have any pictures of the ws-60 mounted and where did you get your Paradigms and MA? Sorry for all the questions.

No problem...It really depends on your budget and room layout. I was satisfied with the Athena's, but I would definitely think the MA and paradigms are worth the extra cash (both are purchased from a local Chicago dealer, send me a PM if you want the names). I would definitely go check out your local dealer, they sometimes have a demo that you can audition at your house. Check out the on-wall speaker thread for more details and reviews...

Great use of the space Derick! It looks awesome. I have an area in my unfinished basement with almost the exact same layout with the stairs right there, ceiling height, etc. and I never would have thought to situate it like you have! Great job! :cool:
ExMachina 12-09-08, 07:11 PM We recently built an extension, and my dad and I decided to call dibs on the basement portion for some home theater goodness. :D It's a work in progress, but we've been making good use of it already. We've since added curtains to cover the windows/the stairwell area and are planning to add some sound paneling. (the TV to the right is usually not there, just a temporary extra setup for some Smash)

I love the setup as well!
BTW, it looks like you probably have access to the back of the rack under the stairs. If so, you are a lucky man!
Have you considered doing a Middle Atlantic type rack in that space? It would be perfect for one! I did a sliding/rotating version because I don't really have rear access, but you wouldn't need to do that.
I used Performanceaudio.com, and their prices are excellent. A Slim5 for your app would only be a couple hundred bucks, plus the rackshelves of course, but you don't that many components so it wouldn't be a bank breaker.
I really like the looks of what you have got going on!

Thanks for the suggestion, I was actually looking to change my rack since the depth of my current shelf is not enough for me to add banana plugs on my receiver. I'll definitely add the slim5 on my list....however I prefer something wider like the Salamander unit (forgot the model #).

Chairman7w 12-23-08, 04:38 PM I will apologize in advance for my TOTAL noobisity, but uh... How do you get those cool icons on the XMB??? (Not kidding, and I've had my PS3 almost a year now)

I know if you apply a PS3 theme it will usually come with unique icons. If there is a way to change them individually, then I don't have an answer for you. Try here, you can go straight from your PS3 browser:

What kind of Speakers are those? Picture was kind of fuzzy. If you like the audio in GH 3. Wait until you pick up GH WT. Much better recording and audio reproduction, and you can control the loudness of the Bass or Guitar track playback

Hey there!!
i got couple of questions for you, I'm planning on hanging my tv to the wall as well and your setup looks great. acn i get your insight on how you did it. did you run the cables through a hole on the wall or did you actually installed an electrical outlet and HDMI plate. One other proiblem i'm running into is that the selected wall is on outside wall and I'm pretty sure it's insulated even for the basemant...
Do I have to take the insulation out or is it safe to go overtop the plastic and run the cable. if this is the case I dont think I'll be actually laying out the electrical...
anything would help
thank you

You just need to learn how to white balance and you'd be fine. Those faux wood blinds would be a perfect place to white balance. Just a thought. :)

Hey thanks, the towers are Reference RF25s and the center is a Reference RC35. I have 4 more RF15s for surrounds that have not been in use since I got married (lol) so I'm looking to sell them and purchase either 4 in-ceiling Reference speakers or 4 outdoor in white to match the ceiling. I also use a Velodyne CT-150 as my sub but am looking to sell that as well for something more compact with better defined low-end and more WAF(i.e. 1 or 2 10" mini-vees). We'll see.

DaGamePimp 01-12-09, 03:20 AM natrone06 ,
Very nice apartment set-up but I have one suggestion ... remove the movies from the tv stand , it cheapens the look of your system (just my opinion of course) ;) .
- Jason
natrone06 01-12-09, 01:38 PM Thanks I agree I just need to find something to put there. I used to have two rows of dvds until I came up with the picture frame Idea. The only problem is that I have all my networking stuff behind the blu-rays and hddvds so whatever I replace it with has to fill the space.

Yep Nice setup I agree.
I never saw it that way but you are right, having all the movies showing up do "cheapens" a little. Mine are hidden in cabinet because of the kids mainly and some time when people come over start putting hands on the Blu rays and PS3 games so I hid them.
Finally got a new plasma this week, so I'm posting the pics of my set up for the first time...
Panasonic 46PZ85U
Limited Edition (well, not THAT limited, but still awesome) soon to be 320gb MGS4 PS3
Yamaha RX-V663 AVR
DirecTV HD/DVR
PolkAudio TSi200s, CS10 & PSW110 (TSi100s in the back of the room for surround)
I'm about to beat Metal Gear, so I didn't post pics of the final act to make sure I don't spoil it for those who aren't that far. When I'm done I'll have to post some pics of Act 1. BTW, this is 720p at the moment. HDMI cables coming in the mail next week so I'll have 1080p MGS4 pics if anyone cares to see them.

Don't I know it. The 100s in the back are sitting up about 4 feet and I need to do the same with the 200s. I blew all my spending money on the TV so I'll have to save up for some stands. Anyone have a recommendation for where to find some? Or, anybody want to make some cash and build me some?! :D

Yep...Aperion 5t's and a 5c in the front and aperion dipole/bipole sides and series 4 for the rear. For subs I have hsu's... 2-mbm12 and one vtf 3.3. Gonna get another 3.3 for the rear part of the room.

Then copy and paste the direct url of the photo using the

Thanks....Finally just got warhawk working on the ps3. It has been a nightmare. Finally after reconfiguring the connection and deleting some stuff, was able to get started. Having a very hard time learning this game with the controls. Had to invert some controls. Need to use alot of buttons...hopefully it will become second nature, like cod4, which I can play pretty well. One thing I like is the sound...excellent and enveloping!
imdjenk 01-16-09, 02:55 AM Some really nice setups here. I have a special situation where I have no room for a tv stand and the only place I can hang the TV in my 700 sf condo is over a loveseat. Not too bad because I sit right across from the TV on the couch. If I have company over, the love seat is on sliders and I arrange it perpendicular to the couch. Too lazy to move and take pics.
My 42" Panny 1080P plasma. Speakers are good enough for such a small place. Polk CS2 for center and Monitor 30's for fronts, M10's for rear and PSW10 for sub. The wife wasn't down with the espresso HT friendly paint at first but I talked her into it by mixing in a little glitter. You can hardly tell from the pic though.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj115/imdjenk/IMG_0647.jpg
My components are simple. Onkyo 605, UC Onkyo DVD, PS3 streaming from
P4 (hard wired of course) in the bedroom with 1TB worth of VOB's, DirecTV HD DVR and an old school Sony 200 CD changer. Yes, that hole is getting covered up.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj115/imdjenk/IMG_0655.jpg
TV is on an articulating mount that extends up to 2 feet from the wall and pivots in either direction. This is great because my wife and I can watch TV from the Kitchen. Be warned, do not buy a mount from eBay. Notice the pin for the pivot joint is bent, scary.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj115/imdjenk/IMG_0658.jpg
I rigged in a couple brackets for my center channel. This way if I'm in the kitchen watching the news, I don't have a soundstage but I have a direct line of sound to the center for dialogue.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj115/imdjenk/IMG_0659.jpg
Still suck at screen shots.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj115/imdjenk/IMG_0345.jpg
The good news is my neighbors are all old and hard of hearing so I can crank it up during blurays.

Is your center directly attached to the tv and it's mount? If so that'd be a prime candidate for the bent pin, especially with a single pivot arm mount for that big a tv(unless the pin was bent before that which would make that attached speaker an even bigger issue). Ever think of getting a double swing arm for more stability? That's a lot of weight pulling down that arm.

The center is mounted to the TV. I didn't think it would be a problem because my TV's specified weight(don't remember it off hand) was 60% of the capacity of the mount, so I thought there was plenty of tolerance there. I should have known not to get the cheap crap off ebay. I am forced to get a new mount so I will definitely look into the double swing arm. Do you know a good source? I'm going to browse monoprice in the meantime, thanks for the advice.

didn't want to sound like a party pooper but that mount really looks crooked! (on the pic that is...)

mtbdudex 01-19-09, 05:52 PM Very nice looking Mike!! It is always nice to see a subwoofer that is almost as big as the seating area. :D
Thx, the IB sub is kinda unusual for most Home Theaters.
The Star Wars lego game has some LFE and background "rumble" going on, enough to keep the EP2500 amp kicking the bass now and then.
When I did the HT gaming was not really on my design parameter list, I'm happy to say the can lights I put overhead on a dimmer are perfect for gaming.
Putting them on low dim makes it easy to see people and still the screen is bright enough for viewing.

Fantastic setup! i love the curved DIY screen! very nice. What equipment are you using throughout your setup?

Tell me about it. I felt pretty good about my 42" until I started coming to AVS :p
Kevin12586 01-20-09, 12:25 AM Tell me about it. I felt pretty good about my 42" until I started coming to AVS :p
This place will do that to you. Before coming here I was about to get a 50 RPTV, now I am on my 2nd projector with a 106" screen, and don't get me started on the audio side :D
But I have no regrets ;)
Fanaticalism 01-20-09, 02:45 AM Figured I'd post a pic of my bedroom setup, although it isn't completed, and never will be, seeing as I am selling it. :p
Truth of the matter is, it just doesn't get any kind of use, so I figured I may as well sell it, and put it torwards upgrading the living room setup, which gets loads of use.
My intentions were to run the wires inside the walls, and put all of the equipment in the closet. Also, I was going to wall mount the front left and right speakers.

Living room setup, which is also up for grabs on Ebay. I have been going in circles with offers on this setup, but just finally made the move, and decided to put it up on a site with much more traffic, other than AVS. They are great, but I am looking to go with floorstanders.

Nice setup BTW. :cool:

Sham WOW! You have balls to throw a 52 inch on there. Good to know I can go that big. I was going with a 46 in but I have to sit close to the screen so a 42 was the perfect size. I think my plasma is more flush because its thinner. I know those XBR's are super thick. You shud check out the new Neo Plasmas from Panasonic coming out this spring. Samsung has a nice line coming out too that is really thin. Good to know others out there have great taste.

Black_Hawk 02-01-09, 10:58 PM Here is my humble set up. Thanks to AVS for prompting me to get my first AVR this holiday season! Fortunately for me, my special lady friend lets me drill holes in the house to hide all the surround speaker wires without complaint.
We are looking forward to our next house with a dedicated theater room and a nice big projector. :)

I like ISIS, just not nearly as i like Pelican, Rosetta, Neurosis, Cult of Luna, etc... and yes im a fan of Red Sparowes and Russian Circles. Saw them play at a crepe restaraunt last year :)
good to see other people into the same stuff :)
Bigred- thx, cable management is always a pain. It's still not as clean as i want it. It'll get cleaner once i make my own custom lengths and try to find a smarter way to manage it.

I have the 67" Sammy, though your layout is ridiculously beautiful. I have to say, your cave looks like a prime candidate for a front projector setup. If only I had a cave, I'd move the 67" into the bedroom. I'll post pics later.

Thanks man ive been here since 01, the original intention was FP, but i figured if i was going to do it i wanted 1080P but the prices were still over $3000 when i bought the tv. And the size per dollar ratio was the best with this set, i also wanted the 67" but wasnt out an dgot a phenominal deal on the 61". But the next upgrade will definitely be a 1080P Projector.
mcjasonb 02-10-09, 09:41 PM where do people get that lighting to go behind the tv?
BertBert 02-11-09, 04:02 PM where do people get that lighting to go behind the tv?
There are couple of ways you can get ambient light:
1) Ikea - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20119932
2) Rope Lighting (which I use myself)

Poolshark69 02-15-09, 01:22 PM Thanks. I am really looking forward to gaming and BD'ing on the PS3. My next game purchase is going to be Uncharted I think. I bought Resistance 1 but was very underwhelmed.
I use:
Fronts: Paradigm Monitor 7's
Rears: Paradigm Titans
Center: Paradigm CC-370
Sub Paradigm PDR-10
Yamaha RX-V1500 for my AVR.
My setup is a few years old.
mrdems83 02-15-09, 03:39 PM Ah yes. Para's are nice. It is a nice set up you have. I have had my ps3 for about two months now and I hardly use it. I own a standalone BD player so I use that for movies and was going to use the PS just for gaming. I own Metal Gear only but like I said I hardly play. It is a cool piece of equipment though. Does your yahmaha offer the new audio formats??

This is my first real setup. Previously I had a HTIB.This is a rental for us so I am not able to have a dedicated home theater yet. I plan to add some backlighting next and a subwoofer upgrade in the next 6 months. I also plan to change my TV stand. The 806 is a deep receiver.

ludawg23 02-16-09, 11:27 AM hey juggy, have you ever thought about mounting your LCD? Would make your setup look a lot better. The center speaker looks like it's in the way, sort of distracting if I was watching tv.

When we purchase a house next year I will. Right now we are renting so it is not an option. I definitely agree that it will be better mounted.

I rent as well and i mounted my TV. The lag bolt holes are not that large and can easily be covered up. Also you dont have to run wires through the wall yet. Just get a wall paintable wire cover. I have done this at the last two places i rented and i've never been called out for it.

Bigred7078 02-16-09, 01:32 PM there are no plasmas that are 120Hz? not even in a few months? Awww snap! it'll be an LCD then
Plasmas dont suffer from motion blur, its not a feature to look for on them. In order to reduce motion blur on LCD's you need to increase the refresh rate, so premium LCD's process at 120hz instead of 60hz.
Panasonic rates some of their plasmas at like 400ish hz, but thats just marketing hype. Remeber they are two different technologies so you look for different things.
Mcklein 02-16-09, 02:15 PM MarkH very cool setup...

Hey lukedog, who makes that stand you have in that picture? I really like the look of that stand. That stand would fit all of my components in it nicely. Does the stand have a back piece on it or is it all open in the back?
damn some of you guys got setups that if I had it like that, I wouldn't even go outside lol.

The Dynavector P75 is a phono pre-amp for the turntable. I just recently got into vinyl.
Simon1921 02-20-09, 08:58 PM what model TV is that? It almost looks like the 4661, but it's got a high contrast panel on it.
It is a PN50A400. It is one of those cheap plasmas they were selling for the black Friday deals. I figure I can stick with this until I have enough money to get a projector. I am hoping to get a Sony VPL-VW60.

Big Brad 02-21-09, 05:23 AM kaotikr1, that looks similar to how I used to have my room setup in my old place. How far are you from the screen/wall and how big of an image are you throwing? From the looks of it you have a Panasonic projector. AE2000 perhaps?

pgatour 02-21-09, 11:38 PM Whats with all the candles
Well, its a living room setup so I do have to give a little to the wife. If she wants those candles there, then fine. She is about to let me throw a 100" screen up on the wall for a projector so I'm not complaining about some candles.

Seriously. I pre-ordered mine at EB games and they said it'll come out by the end of the month.
Where did you get yours?

Well if he's like me he's playing the KZ2 demo you could get at Gamestop for preordering the game. I think Europe received the same demo. If that's the full game then I don't know where he got it.
MaxDam77 02-23-09, 09:49 AM From those screenshots, this ain't the demo.
And they sure look nice!
pcweber111 02-23-09, 09:50 AM Yeah now that you mention it I don't remember seeing those in the demo. Guess it's the full game.

Yes, i did. :D
Already beat the game once, it's pretty awesome.
I can tell you, KZ2 hands down the best FPS (SP part) out right now. It's unbelievable how action packed is, AI is one of the best, graphics are gorgeous and the sound/music is intense. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. Solid 9.5/10.
There are soo many good things are in the game that would worth mentioning, but due to the fact that the game is not out yet, i'll keep it to myself. I really don't want to spoil anything.

Really? Judging from the demo I thought the AI was extremely mediocre. Not totally brain dead mind you but far from what I expected. It's too easy to just hide and never have the enemy try to actually find you. Other than throwing grenades at you and the occasional flank I could hide behind a door and have 4 or 5 of them just stand there and not try to actually flush me out of my hiding spot. Maybe it gets better later in the game.

You really need to remember that you have essentially only played the training level. Judging the AI from that alone is not really fair. All of the reviews I've read so far have mentioned the enemy AI as one of the high points of the game.

I played wipeout Fusion on my ps2 and wasn't really impressed at all. Considering the name I was expecting insane crashes, but they were pretty lame. Your shields go down if you so much as bump into the wall or another racer, pretty annoying. At least you could disable weapons, I can't tell you how annoying it is to be suddenly forced to a crawl because someone hit you with a rocket.
At least I still have Burnout.

Wipeout Fusion was the worst game of the franchise. Wipeout HD is much better. It's a great game, especially for 20 bucks. And it's 1080p 60 fps, which is very rare.
