50' Samsung DLP HDTV
60 gig PS3
HD UVerse
Samsung HT-AS20

What are you resting your center channel on? I have the new Samsung LED DLP with that same thin bezel and there's no way I could just rest a speaker on it.

Scissor,

I put my center speaker in the same spot first, but found the sound was way to low. I had a custom stand made to move it on top of the TV.

i prefer mine where it is. i'm just going to angle it up a bit more.

heres my setup.

Samsung HL-S6187W 61" DLP
Yamaha HTR-5930 Reciever
NES (black)
Wii
Dreamcast (black)
Genesis (gen 2)
PS1 (9 series, covered by keyboard and crap)
Xbox 360 Elite
Xbox 360 HD-DVD Add-On
60GB PS3
300 Spartan Helmet
Halo 3 BR-55 :)

also you can see my PC, DVD collection, most of my games, my epson printer on top of the yamaha sub, and my yamaha front & center channels. i have an XP media cetner USB remote reciever under the right side of the TV next to the PlastX

my grandfather and i made the stand ourselves. its mostly plywood, but the top & sides are a 1/4" with veneer, then we painted and painted until it was nice and black.

the TV is WAY too big for my room. i sit about 9 feet from the TV if i lean back. BUT i got such a good deal on it, i woudl ahve only saved tops $100 by going smaller, and i intend on keeping this TV for quite some time.

mwahahahahaha im too impatient!

Nice Saleen. How old are you? Your room is like super cluttered I couldn't take it If I lived there!

omg tell me about it!! im in the middle of cleaning all teh crap out of it that i have gathered over the years.

im 21, live at home and right now im going to school to become a technology teacher

its a very small room. between my 2 dressers, TV, couch and bed, i dont have a whoel lot of space to live in, but im so busy im relaly only home at night during school.

like i said, for the extra $100 i couldnt not get the 61" over somethign like a 40-46"

nevermind

Just over the TV, it actually stands pretty nice on top, it won't move, the weight distribution of the speaker is perfect, is almost like it was designed to be there...

Looks like it's sitting on there well, but as a word of caution you should be careful with that. My parents had their center channel just sitting on top of their set and it worked pretty well. However if you bump into the tv(or a pet does) it can cause it to fall off. In my parents case the speaker fell off the top of the set, and put a couple scratches in the screen on their DLP. The scratches are very easy to see when the set is off, and if you look for them they're easy to spot when it's on. Not saying you should change it, just make sure to be careful.

Thanks, I will. :cool:

Yeah I would definitley not do that. These bezels were not meant to support speakers like that. I would think that would bow your image as well.

Hey guys... sorry for taking the thread on a tangent with the house pics. As tsang pointed out, someone asked me to post more pics. I should have created a new thread in the appropriate forum and linked it.

Thanks for the compliments though.

You're not leaving much for cooling when you stack your components like that. All three of those need proper ventilation.

Can STR-DG910 accept multi-channel LPCM over HDMI?

Yes... I think so. It accects/displays PCM signal from the PS3 and is 770watt 7.1 receiver. Not sure if the question actually is 'will it decode the 7.1?' If that's the equestion then I'm not sure.

I love this room except for the gold fireplace surround. Im really favorable to brushed nickel though so thats probably why, but I think it would blend with your room so much better. The gold kind of pops too much.

I prefer BN too over PG, PB, or AB. For that room, though, I think the PG BF doors in place fit better than BN would (IMO).

Beautiful room Jason. Congrats on your new home. :)

Jason, how far away is the couch from the screen?

Nice room!

Greg, how is the PQ on that thing?

Thank You , yeah it is a pretty large room (the resize on the pic makes the room look smaller than it actually is) .

I agree with the Gold trim , I don't like it either , the fireplace opening is about to be covered by some form of acoustic treatment to stop any sound reflections (which will also keep away any light reflections from the glass/brass) ;) .

Thank You ,

Thanks , the couch is about 14' from the screen (my resize software is altering the aspect of the original image) . It's a little closer than I would like but the shape of the room does not allow me to have it any further away ( plus it makes for a great excuse to go 1080p and get that extra pixel fill over 720p :D ) .

BTW... nice pad.

I will get better pictures once i clean up my room (everything is getting moved around) I have :
Samsung 46" LCD
Cable Vision Cable Box
Onkyo 605s reciever
Aperion Cinema HD system
a Bush Tv Stand (great stand)
and of course my PS3

I just ordered an LED rope light to mount behind the TV. i will post up pictures when that is installed and everything is organized.

*yes the tv is on wood, i needed to raise it up above the center speaker until i make a better riser.
Thanks

CommanderCool, does your PS3 block the TV at all, or is it only on the bezel? I have problems with pop cans in front of my monitor and was just wondering if it bothered others as much as it bothers me.

no it doesnt block it,the chair i sit in is at an angle and thats why i angled the tv like so its in a good line of sight for me

i believe those are paradigm studio somethings if im not mistaken

Paradigm for sure, I think the mains are studio 100s v4? and the center Im not sure but I want it :D

Oh and fwiw I HATE audio racks, but man that is making me think twice about them, very very clean!

oi-punx, GODDAMN that is a nice setup! Those Paradigm's bookend your system perfect!

Looking at this thread and seeing all the flat panels and projectors I'm here representin' the CRT RPTV crew! :cool: As a note, I need to move the DVDs and games somewhere else to space things out on the wall a little better.

Tilt that center channel up a bit in the front and be amazed at the difference in your sound stage ;) . Those are way too nice of speakers to not have them directed properly (the towers look to be aimed) .

What speakers are those?

They look like AV123's X-Series.

I've been putting it off telling myself I'll get good pics eventually, well I decided that good pics/bad pics Im getting something up on the site. I know most ppl here arent big fans of Bose but I got a good deal on it.

^^nice man i like it,no offense or anything but the white on your bose system does stick out..but it matches ur ps3 controller though lol

Nice work so's your face! I have always loved the sound of Def Tech speakers.

And, nice clean set-up Conspiracy*.

What speakers are those?

his speakers are avs123 x-series. he has the x-cs center, x-sub , and x-sls left and right

Thanks for answering guys. The finish on those really looks nice! I'm back and forth over those or Aperion's, wife hates the finish on the av123's, but they look good in those shots.

Check out the finish on AV123's Rocket series. IMO, they look even better than the already handsome x-series.

Hopefully, I'll be picking up a set of these in the near future!

Matzira,

Are you using a "phantom" center channel?

heres mine :)

i kinda rearrange it a a bit my receiver and PS3 is on top,center speaker on the middle, and pc at the bottom..will try to post a pic later:D

Dude, you have to fix those nasty-looking exposed wires coming down from your tv.

I don't know the name, but there's a strip you can get at Home Depot that will fix that up in a sec and isn't hard to install.

For some reason, the colors on your TV look muted (lacking pop).

I don't know if its the camera settings or if you just have your TV calibrated like that.

Anyway, your setup looks cool. I like it! :)

I disagree. Do you think the colors in this screenshot of his look "muted?"

Looks pretty good to me. And personally, I much prefer *realistic* color reproduction rather than the overly-saturated, garish settings some people use in a misguided attempt to achieve "pop." His shots don't look like cartoons. ;)

I agree. Besides when you have the sun glaring down at an angle like that in real life, colors will be muted a bit.

actually i have 4 bolts with expansions on the wall. and 4 regular dry wall screws. its pretty strong.

Thanks guys. I have a Samsung HPT-5054 Plasma.

Oh and the reason the colours look mute in that screen was because it was made to look like that in that angle.

great screen shots jeffy. I also have the Samsung 5054 and the games look great on it but it seemes that your picture is a little sharper. I was wondering if you could post your screen settings for the 5054. Also how do you take your pictures, I have tried but they don't look anything close to as good as yours.

Did you turn your brightness up a little with using RGB FULL or did you keep it the same untouched?

i didn't mess with mine yet

I kept it at 51. I used the DMC 4 trailer to compare the FULL and Limited and I found out that 50-51 is the sweet spot between getting the most out of contrast and not missing any details.

so that's about the middle setting on your tv huh?

your pics look great! i'm pretty happy where i have my settings now too,i tried before turning up the brightness a bit with using RGB FULL but then realised it wasn't necessary since it totally ruined blu-ray and PS1 playback, they were to high in black level. so i go back and forth between FULL and LIMITED depending on what game i play.

I'm sure sony will make the RGB function better in the next update.

Beautiful shots jeffyjaixx.

Thanks :D. I found out that my blacks were crushed before because of the HDMI black adjust function in Setup. After setting that to Normal, I found out that adjusting the Black Adjust function in the Picture section helps give blacker blacks but not at the expense of losing detail. So I put the PS3 on FULL and switched back and forth between the Black Adjust in Picture section (Off, Low, Medium, High) and found out that LOW was the best in maintaining very black levels while giving plenty of detail in the picture. Medium and High had pretty much the same black levels but loses detail.

Yeah, that's the middle of my TV but I don't think you should use that as a reference for your TV since it's a different model. What's your TV btw?

A Sony 34" CRT HDTV 34HS420. it's a great tv for gaming! on my tv though most of my settings were done via the service menu with all the user settings in their default positions. that way if i bump the reset button by mistake on the remote it won't screw up my picture settings.:)

pretty clever i dear say.lol.

my tv is ISF calibrated.

Great pictures jeffyjaixx, they make the Samsung 71 shots seem dull by comparison.

(Maybe you should post a few of these in the 360 pictures thread as well)

Not my best pic, I was getting ready to sit down and tweak my set up for best image quality but just found out my job is transferring me so that will have to wait until I see what room (lighting, etc..) that the set up ends up in...

I'll try to post some pictures later without me in it and try to get some decent screenshots. It might be a little difficult with a cheap digital camera, but I'll try.

Nice settup! i dig the smiley face on your face! lol.:D

IIRC it's a TechCraft, think I got it at HH Gregg. Actually a little tired of it, but haven't found a 4 shelf I really like yet.

Haha, thanks. Actually the only reason I covered my face is because I happened to blink when the timer went off, so my eyes make me look absurdly stupid.

Jeffy, I'm in love with your TV. I think I may buy one of those now, do you think the 720P 42" would produce similar results?

GT5 really looks awesome. Man I can't wait for April 17th, which just happens to be my birthday and the day GT5 hits N.A. :)

Brandon

Exlink, of course ;). I find that the Samsung xx54 series is one of the best bang for buck sets out there. You should still go in-store though and check it out in person first.

Just watch out for IR, I had the 4254 for about 3 weeks before I had to return it due to burn in from changing the channels and adjusting the picture in the menu. I now have a 42px75 panasonic that is much better about IR but the PQ is worse than my old 20inch Emerson CRT. :mad: I am now looking at LCDs for gaming because of this.

It's gotta get pretty hot back there, no? It looks great otherwise. I'm guessing you put the shelf up after the TV got there.

Thanks,

The picture looks like it's right up against the wall but it has a nice size space on each side. It stays pretty cool in the back. This tv doesn't get very hot anyways. believe it or not I installed that shelf to fit my old tv a few years ago and this tv just fit perfect, I think it was a tiny miracle.

^ebay lol when i saw it for 38 i just had to jump on it,yeah its used but in mint condition so yeah it wasnt bad

Thanks guys. :D

Btw, the Samsung is a 720p native, do you recommend doing 480i/p, 720p and 1080i or just 480i/p and 720p for the PS3? Which would give a better PQ or it doesn't matter?

why would you want games to be in 480 i/p, if their native resolution is 720p or 1080p?

I would set your ps3 to 720p, 1080i, 1080p.

I would set your ps3 to 720p, 1080i, 1080p.

I never thought about the 480i/p stuff. I just thought since games already auto-run in their native resolution, it doesn't matter if I have them on or off. I was just thinking would putting everything to 720p be better for the TV and if Blu-ray will look better at 1080i/p or 720p TV native.

Here's a pic of my cave in the basement. The TV is a 60" Sony SXRD and the sound system utilizes my 20 year old speakers that are too big for the living room. The race frame is mainly used for PC sims and F1:CE on the PS3.

I've got a few ideas for changing the decor that include darker colors and a racing theme in the corner but I can't stop playing long enough to get any work done.

In November I purchased a Sony KDL-46W3000 for the bedroom which came with a free Blu-Ray player. I had been waiting eight weeks for the BDPS300 to arrive and finally asked that they give me a PS3 instead. Well, my brother is now the owner of a 80GB model. :)

^^nice i love it,when i move out soon i too hope to build my own man cave

The race frame is mainly used for PC sims and F1:CE on the PS3.

Now that's a damn nice race seat , awesome !

Pardon the junk camera. Thinking of upgrading to a 1080p set. Picture is of my Sammy 50" S5053. Has a great picture at 720p, but you can't tell from the photos.

I would set your ps3 to 720p, 1080i, 1080p.

First off, i dont believe you can turn off the 480i/p setting on the PS3. Second most PS3 games dont even have a native 1080p resolution at this point in time. Second he should not set his TV to 1080p if his TV does not support it, the PS3 wont even display a picture on his TV. I would just put checks on all the resolutions but 1080p, and your picture will be just fine

It is true. You can't uncheck 480i/p in the settings so I just unchecked 1080i/p since I've read around that 720p is better than 1080i since it's a progressive picture.

Btw, nice rooms above posters.

not necessarily. 1080i has more lines of resolution, so despite being interlaced, for mainly static images, 1080i can look better. but for scenes with a lot of motion, 720p is better.

most 720p native LCD's/Plasma's aren't 1280x720p, but rather 1366x768 (most LCD's) or 1024x768 (a lot of Plasma's) so some scaling needs to be done regardless.

video games that are rendered at 1080p will play at 1080i if you have it checked and you have a 720p native display that supports 1080i. because the game is rendered at 1080p, it will probably look better running at 1080i vs 720p even if your display is 720p native.

furthermore, it also depends on how good the scaler is in your TV. so with all that said, i'd recommend you check all the resolutions your TV supports. if a game is rendered at 720p and that is the optimal resolution, developers will (99% of the time) default it to 720p even if you have 1080i checked (for PS3 games anyway, 360 games scale to the highest resolution, which in reality, makes little to no difference).

Vaytan, nice room, love the brother of wolf poster!

exactly what i was thinking. you own date movie. and bring it on.

allocate your funds towards equipment and you'd have a hell of a setup. those dvd's would probably pay for a 120hz lcd and a 5.1 surround.

It was custom built by my boss. I gave him the specs on what I wanted and voila.

whats that Playstation 3 Blu-Ray case on top of your Star Wars & Heros boxsets?

It might be a demo disc. I've heard of them...

those discs come with the PS3, it has previews and updates on it i think. I got one in with my PS3 i bout about a week ago.

Well, I bought cheap and small because I was living in a tiny dorm room for a semester. Price got too steep so I went to live with my sis. She had extra room so... I plan on getting a better setup by year's end.
Plus the lower half of my DVD shelf is mostly migrated media that I ended up with one way or another including Date Movie, Bring It On, etc.

Dark basaement had to use a flash so pictures kinda blow.

Here is a couple more. The Plasma looks small but is is a Panasonic 58" 1080p. All of the components are behind the wall and I have an infrared repeater built in the rca outlet on the wall by the sub. All of the speakers are in wall/cieling klipsche. The subs are both 12" klipsche synergy........they make BIG boom noise!

14' total distance between the front in-wall speakers. Because of the door placement.

That sure is one lonely mother-fer! I guess he/she only has 1 or 2 people over to actually watch movies with such a small sitting space. Whats up with the wasted space to begin with anyways, this is nothing more then a "my (insert vulgar term here) is bigger then yours" and is utterly pointless. I love seeing everyones setups, even the extravagant and borderline "cheeky" home theaters but this is just too over the top for me. He/she has great equipment and almost everything "it" owns is out of my budget but that doesn't stop it from being ubsurdley ugly!

Insanely ugly. Get some comfy chairs. Jeeze.

All of that equipment and hardwood floors. :(

How do you like the sony DAV-IS10? Been looking at these for how small they are and how great they sound, are they really nice?

well, "nice" is a subjective thing, although not the BEST I've heard, but considering how these speakers are the size of golf balls and 50w each, it bumps out enough juice for my living room and surprising loud and deep bass.

I personally LOVE it and will recommend it to people not so picky and don't like big speakers. The IPOD dock is a great addtion, Bravia Sync is also nice. For the price, I have zero complaints :)

also, the crazy home theater in the 2 above posts, that room costs 6 million dollars.

80GB PS3 on a Toshiba 65" DLP, standard stereo sound... for now. Wonderful watching Blu-Rays or playing 1080p games like COD4 and Ridge Racer 7. Speaking of which... What is the best-looking game that is made for the PS3? Most games look good, but they seem like they severely lack AA. Any ideas?

Nice setup!

IMO Uncharted is the best looking next gen console game so far. I wouldn't recomend buying Gengi but looks very good. Download its demo as well as Devil May Cry 4, Ratchet and Clank (note the demo isn't as smooth as the final version and has tearing as it is an earlier build) and a bunch of others on the PSN. Gran Turismo Prologue looks very smooth for the car models. Burnout has a good looking demo as well.

COD4, really? It looks horrible compared to on my computer with its 20" monitor. Could be the size difference, but on the TV it looks like AA is off. Is there some tweaking or calibrating I should be doing??? God, I hate being a n00b in the AV world!

EDIT: nvm...

P.S. Can't wait for Metal Gear Solid! Finally, a game written for the Cell!

Console versions simply don't match high end PC games in resolution and clarity.

Why are you so presumptuous? Maybe he enjoys the set-up with his wife/spouse and has one child. Even if he didn't and it was only him, so what? As long as he enjoys it, and from the looks of it, I bet he does. Though I wonder about the acoustics and hardwood floors.

Some of you seem to be missing the point of this amazing theater. This is essentially a full-scale tech demo of a product he hopes to market to wealthy individuals. It's not about creating the most acoustically insert atmosphere (though he was a sound engineer, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt).

The show-y nature of the setup with its exposed circle of mega-amps and dramatic lighting are part of his marketing technique.. You can't deny that this is an ultra-chic setup, even if it doesn't fit your personal taste. The lack of seating simply puts more emphasis on the amount of speakers in the room and, more importantly, with a circular setup like this, there is really only one true sweet-spot.

It's beautifully done, IMO.

Well, a PC that can run COD4 @60fps at that resolution probably has a video card which *alone* cost almost as much as the PS3 (along with RAM, CPU, etc).

And what about hi-rez audio? It's a no-can-do for now on a PC. Don't get me wrong I play all my games (except NHL 08) on my PC but you can't diss a 400$ very capable machine for playing a game at 600p.

Has nothing to do with the PS3. It's a multi-platform game, and that resolution plays nice with the 360 hardware.

probably both. off screen shots with a good camera can make the game look a little better than it actually does. but i'm sure it looks good. :)

i have a canon a560 which i consider to be a decent camera. however, i can't get any decent shots. i always see these weird red wavy lines. mind you, i use the auto setting with the flash off.

jeffy your pics are really incredible, does your Samsung plasma really look that good in real life or is your camera that makes them look so good?
I can attest to the fact that the Samsung really looks that good. I'm lucky enough to have the same tv that jeffy has and the picture is incredible. I on the other hand can't even come close to taking as good a picture of the screen shots as Jeffy. This is the best I can do. I've posted other shots before but none that does this tv justice. I'm glad Jeffy's pictures actually show the true quality of this tv and also the playstation.

Hey guys,

Just about to buy a new hdtv and I love some of the pics posted here. Jeffy, you have the 5064 right? Looks great but I'm worried abouts eeing the pixels at too close so I'm leaning to the 5084, yeah I can see a slight difference at BB, but has anyone else been in this same spot and had to pick? The difference on amazon is about $500. $500 so you can see the pixels a little less? I dunno... Also Viper, love your pics too but I am trying to stay away from the DLP. The main things the TV is for is blu ray and PS3. Any thoughts and recommendations on people that have considered the 2 sammies? Thanks x 1 billion all

Good lord I suck at taking pictures :( Looks much better than the pics make it out to be. Well aside from the wire mess. I'll get it cleaned up eventually, just moved recently and haven't finalized plans.

Display: Sony 60" 1080p 120hz SXRD (60A3000)
Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR805 130x7 HDMI THX yada yada
Speakers: Energy Reference Connoisseur RC-30's amd RC-10's in cherry
Subwoofer: shopping around, probably get an SVS, HSU or Epik

Viper: That is beautiful! Anybody else have the Galapagos Blu ray. Im thinking about picking it up in the B2G1 at Amazon right now. Any other good documentaries to show off the sets?

Heh--didn't take long to exceed your bandwidth, did it? :D

I took these late last night, after playing several hours of COD4 and Drake's Fortune so the pictures are a little crappy. This is on my Panny AE900. I posted pics of my 58" Panny Plasma earlier in the thread. BTW, this is our family/game/theater room so it has to be very multi-functional.

Anonymouscuban, That looks incredible!
Where did you get the ideas for everything?

About your setup, what size is that screen, and how far back is the PJ?

Thanks,
JayMan

OH NO!

BDI Axis furniture! That thing is 1000$-a-piece! I have been looking for those for a while but when I found out about the price it dropped my b*ner.

Jeffy must have a nice camera (not that the TV isn't great) but the picture on my Samsung HLT6187S is also phenominal, I just have a camera that can't come close to capturing it. It goes for $50 new on ebay!

What is a good free site that will not have bandwidth issues for sharing pics?

Ok, well here is one, which doesn't do the game or display justice. I'll post more when I figure out how to take a reasonable picture.

Good lord I suck at taking pictures

I'm sure it's mostly your camera, like me. Your's almost looks like a cell phone camera! Mine just can not handle all the light from my TV. There are no ISO features or options to mess with and when I try to take a picture of something as big and bright as my screen without using a flash, it's just a big blur, no matter how still I have the camera. Or if it's not blurry, it's all way overexposed.

lol, its a 7 megapixel with 3x Optical lens (Carl Zeiss and all) but yeah I rarely take pictures as well. I did put it on a low megapixel for easy transfer but still.

I get much better results with family pictures in the day.

How does your TV handle bright scenes on Playstation 3 video games.

I have the KDS-50a3000 same TV as yours and when I play games like oblivion on the PS3 the bright scenes don't look to great. It is weird though because I used to have oblivion on my Xbox and on the same TV the scenes never looked as bad as the Playstation, so I don't think It is my TV, maybe how the Playstation renders graphics or what not.
