I agree that it is a very nice setup. With all of the white furniture, I bet you don't have small children! :D


You are correct! Not a kid friendly apt.

They are Martin Logans. The black and white just happened. My wife is a designer so everything had to match- it kind of just snowballed, everything in that room has to be black and white now. I have a silver RDC 7 on the right that will have to go soon.

Ooops , I guess I should have looked a little closer at the speakers ;) . Well that has to be WAF on a whole other level since she is a designer but then again it must not be too bad since she is ok with the large tower speakers :) .

She's very good about it. She actually wanted an even bigger TV but we couldn't get it to fit in the elevator.

Hey, at least your designer wife is willing to allow for home theater with only a matching request. That's a pretty solid way of getting around the WAF especially for someone who's whole business is in decor. Many of us are not so lucky.

Everything of mine is black with some deep graphite grey on the television and media cabinet. Still, I have a cable box from Comcast that is silver - no way around that and I'm not painting their box. I wound up getting a cabinet for my components with deep tinted glass to hide everything. With the display and everything off the dark screen and tinted glass match nicely although my wife does begrudge the "dominating wall of television and speakers". You can still see the displays and lights but the components themselves including the silver box blend in. Airflow is hurt some but not too bad as there's room up front and you can open up the back.

How do you like the Logans? I was talking to someone about them the other day but the closest dealer to me is a 6-7 hour drive. I'd be curious to hear how the sound. Their center channel looks like something out of Batman.

I know I was always entertained by this thread (nice set-ups everyone) so I thought I'd post mine. The equipment:

Pioneer PDP4360 Plasma
60GB PS3 (bottom shelf, right side)
Old, cheap Onkyo Receiver (bottom shelf, middle, next on the "to upgrade" list)
Sony Wireless Headphones (bottom shelf, left)
Plasma media box (second shelf from bottom)
Comcast HD DVR (third shelf from bottom)
Cheap Pioneer DVD player (top shelf, top unit)
VCR (top shelf, bottom unit, haven't touched that in a few years)
Speakercraft MT-6 in-wall speakers (L,R, and surrounds - white grills up top)
Speakercraft AIM Monitor One Center Channel (under plasma - black box)
JBL Subwoofer (behind Plasma)

Guiding principle...achieve a high WAF.

Oh, and of course note the entire Baby Einstein DVD collection off to the left...really give the home theater a workout!

The prior owner had the speakers installed and built the unit around his old 4:3 rear projection TV. I built the stand that holds the plasma in front of the unit so I could go 16:9.

PSN = IQ22

Really nice!, and very domestic looking still. The earth tones and Oak really add warmth. It would be perfect if you couln't see some of the wires. i'm really inspired by your set up.

The Logans are great. I've had them for a long time - almost 10 years now - they were originally for a smaller room. I need the bigger summits for my current apt. But at that price I may look at the Revel F series.

HDMI 1.3 is backwards compatible to version 1.0 so if the PS3 is not working on your display then it is something with that particular model and not the HDMI spec. ;) .

I purchased a new tv. Samsung HL-S6187W 1080p so here are three new shots. Also, today I picked up a $10 24" grow lamp from walmart and placed it behind my tv. It came out really purple in the picture but doesn't look like that in real life. It's actually on in the 2 casino royale pics but my photography skills lack. I like it. First my old set up.

PS3 on my Panasonic TH50px50u plasma tv

http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/6689/gthd2vo7.jpg

Ninja Blade, I have the same Panasonic and just recently bought a PS3 and I'm wondering if you use the same settings for PS3 that you use for normal viewing? Curious whether I need to calibrate the blue-ray or use my normal calibrated settings? Thanks in advance.

Equipment:
Pioneer 5070 50" 768p plasma
Toshiba XA1 HD DVD player via hdmi and optical
Kenwood VR 4900 receiver
Xbox 360 Premium with Wifi adaptor via monster component and optical
PS3 60GB via hdmi and optical

Klipsch Reference Series
Front 6.5" x 2
L/R 8" x 2
Rear 5.25"
Sub M&K 12"

Computer setup
Custom built in Cooler Master case with a 19" Sony LCD. I will elaborate on components if anyone cares, but this is not my gaming rig. I use it to surf the internet mainly while I am watching tv. I like to look things up as it comes up with whatever I am watching. It is great for keeping track of scores when watching sports too. Or for passing time during commercials.

Actually I tried calibrating with the Avia SD-DVD on my PS3 through HDMI (previous settings were from a stand-alone SD-DVD player through component). Color and Saturation were just a little different, but Brightness level was much higher, I suppose due to the crushed blacks others have mentioned the PS3 having. When I used those new settings, I noticed a hint of image retention after relatively short periods of anything bright on the screen, so I changed everything back down to my previous settings and played a variety of scenes from BR and DVD movies to make some minor adjustments based on personal preference and now everything seems fine. So I guess to answer your question, I'd recommend using your normal calibrated settings.

I wasn't able to find it on walmart's website either. When I get home in the morning I'll check the packaging for a website and try and get a link for you. If that fails I can snap some pics of what it looks like and tell you who makes it...

haha yeah, i had those through my college years. I actually just recently replaced them with the logitech Z5450's with wireless rear speakers.

As for the twin sticks I had to goto Japan to find those babies. They are quite a rarity in the states and are exclusively for Virtual - on for dreamcast and Saturn. Loved that game so much. But yeah here on ebay you can expect to pay past $100 but I found the saturn one at a used store in akihabara for $12 heh =)

04-14-07, 09:13 PM
Hmmm. The gray "blacks" of the Vizio is a real dealbreaker. I know they're cheap, but there's a reason.

Aren't you worried about having that DVD player on top of the receiver? One place I went to had that and I nearly burned my hand ejecting a disc.

GebLX
04-14-07, 09:48 PM
My TV has a 1000:1 contrast ratio and honestly can't tell the difference between mine and my friend's LG with a 1600:1 ratio...believe me, if I had the money, I probably would of bought a Sony XBR2/3 or Samsung, but was impatient and went with the Vizio. Coming from a CRT which is the king of black levels this TV really isn't that bad, I was expecting worse actually.

As for the DVD player on the receiver, I guess it's a tough one, it's been like that for literally 3 years with no problems, and my reciever doesn't generate as much heat as I thought, my PS3 makes more heat surprisingly.

Sadly, those speakers aren't even hooked up. They were hooked up to this gigantically old crt tv because it had those inputs and when I got my hdtv like... 2 months ago it replaced the old crt. I've been meaning to get a reciever and hook them up along with a sub woofer, center channel, etc. that I have sitting around, but I just don't have the money for the receiver right now.

A prefab?....like they used to make in the war??....no it's a penthouse appartment in England...my partner and I did the whole thing ourselves

In the States we have prefab home developments in some areas. My in-laws live in one. They build the houses off site in a sort of assembly line process and then ship the homes to the home site in 2 or 3 pieces and assemble them there. Some of the homes have a really nice mod feeling to them which the poster might have been thinking about when he saw the picture of your flat.

Anyway, the prefab home building process saves some money and keeps the build time at the home site shorter which is nice for the neighbors.

The S3 TiVo still has price-of-place, and is still my best Home theater purchase ever, although the HDTV and PS3 tie for a somewhat distant second ;)

Uncheck 720p on your XMB and play VF5 more

04-26-07, 05:50 PM
Ahh! But wouldn't unchecking 720p really screw with my other 720p games (Motorstorm 7 Formula 1 - what can I say, I use the PS3 as a BR player more thana s a game console!)

Shouldn't VF5 and the PS3 be picking up on the fact I have 1080P ALSO enabled, and run VF5 at 1080P on my 1080P TV? Heck, everything else (the XMB, BR movies, Folding, GT HD etc) does run at 1080p, so why not VF5?

<edit> I didn't realize that was a box scan from your game case, I thought it was a screenshot. I'm QUITE sure my box only says 720p. Hmm - exchange/refund time? Did they release a bunch of 720p discs (and cases) in the first week?

dvdmike007
04-26-07, 05:55 PM
Its a UK box but the US disc is the same.
If you have them all ticked it will defult to the best res for the game i.e. GTHD at 1080i/p and VF5 at 720p

ashutoshsm
04-26-07, 06:11 PM
Wait - so by 'for the game' you mean for it to be able to render smoothly/natively, instead of doing a software scale?

Ok - that makes sense. I'll double check my case and try the game tonight. I'd ratehr let software scale from 720p to 1080P ON the PS3, because it can't be worse than ther atehr average scaler on my HDTV :)

Thanks mike!

Nice pics but its not native 1080p its upscaled, they put it at 720p to lock it to 60fps
its just a demo... the full game could be full 1080p. theres still another month or 2 before it gets released. if they are working for full 1080p but it wasn't smooth at the time they released the demo, they probably wouldn't want to make the demo full 1080p.

as for the scaler, the ps3 does have a scaler, but its not very versatile. the ps3 can do full 1080i/p, but if the game is too demanding, developers can use a resolution of 960x1080i/p then the ps3 scales the 960 to 1920.

Yep those are standard DVD's upscaled with the PS3. As you can see, the PS3's upscaling is outstanding now.

^ yeah I'm wondering the same,those look really good

^^ Those are standard DVDs upscaled?

yes



I actually couldn't believe how good PS3 is at scaling

I thought the 360 was a good upconverter but PS3 blows it away



here's a few comparisons

PS3 in 1080p through HDMI on top
360 in 1080p through VGA on bottom

granted it's not the best comparison shots but you can still clearly see the colours are better and the image is noticable sharper and clearer too

All these pictures are 800x600, of screens even further away?

How are we supposed to be able to tell image quality from these again?

You need to take a picture, full resolution, of a corner of the screen, at best. Anything downsampled is useless.

Could this be a result of the calibration being different for the HDMI input vs. your VGA input? I don't really know. That's why I'm asking. ;)

I don't see a WHOLE lot of detail difference, although I do see some. To me it looks like the contrast and saturation is turned up on the PS3 images vs. the 360 images.

Thanks for posting though. I know that took you some time to take pics, get them on the computer, edit them, upload them and then post them here.

the 360 pics have actually been on my computer for like 5 months now :D

both inputs are using the same contrast/brightness settigns with 75/45

the only difference is the colors. I have my HDMI input set to 35 for color
but I can't adjust colors on my VGA input

I knew the 72 was coming but I couldn't wait anymore due to the delays in my basement HT I had to get something for the upstairs to tide me over till I can get the real HT set up ;)
I'm pretty happy with it honestly I won't beat myself up to much over not waiting for the 72" (I did get an excellent price on it as well as I bought my 46" Sammy LCD at the same time so buying both cash got me a great discount).

Thanks for the props guys.

Not to sound like a playa hater, but those DLP TVs really suck on the corners...

You see a bright image in the center, and the corners are all dim. Very uneven brightness...and distracting as hell.

How do people live with DLP TVs???!

I don't seem to notice the issues your talking about Rieper? I have had most of the technologies out there for displays and they all have strengths and weakness but DLP IMO is one of the better ones if your not susceptible to rainbows.
I don't have uneven brightness in the DLP's in my home but I guess it depends on the quality of the set.

DLP's are great. Really bright and really even................. that is of course until you stand up ;)


Which is why I own a PDP, and not a DLP. I liked the viewing angles better. And prices were comparable for a 40" to 46" set that I was looking for.

My opinion .. the PS3 does a great job upscaling .. I did the best I could with the horrid camera I have to show the difference between upscaling and original in the 1st 2 pics..

Here's some shots from Ocean's Twelve ... I chose this movie because the original source was slightly grainy .. you'll see what I mean when you see the pics below .. or if you have seen the movie on DVD.

All in all .. I can actually get into a movie now on my projector .. hope these pics are of SOME help ..

edit:: .. is any1 having problems playing dual layer burned media on their PS3? .. I backed up a copy of Jay-Z: Fade To Black .. wanted to see how that scaled in the PS3 .. my original works flawlessly.. my straight copy does not. Works fine in every other player; not a scratch on it ... the disc was also finalized ... confused over here....

BBS G35, Does your PS3 get enough ventilation? Just curious because I have a cabinet that is similar and I had to install an fan to help push the hot air away from the PS3. Is the cabinet a Salamander or Studio Tech?

Ouch, that describes my setup to a tee.

06-12-07, 02:45 PM
I'll chime in as well.
BBS G35: Keep an eye on the PS3 and the Wii.
The PS3 vents to the back and to the right - Your setup might be a bit snug for that.
The Wii vents to the bottom. Hence the grey stand they ship with it. I'd say to use the stand or sit it horizontally. Yes... I know it doesn't get THAT hot, but it definitely does get warm.

Just a suggestion.

It's BDI. 77" wide, the HDTV is only a 50 inch. I've thought about getting a fan, but i think it's getting enough ventilation, the stand has holes on the bottom, it's slightly raised off the ground, and i didn't put in the stand's back cover,s to keep thing's a little cooler. If anything it's the Onkyo that gets hot.
