My 70"er is in transit, and I would like to know what, if any thing to anticipate. Thanks

I am looking to buy 6-10 ft wires. Which AWG would be best for that distance?

My set was delivered a couple of weeks ago. So the guys delivered and I forgot to check the box for build date. I told them to take it away (the box). Couldn't tell you my build date but I did hard wire and not sure why the delay but maybe day two a message popped up that said a new version of firmware (or software) was available and do I want to download?

Of course I did. I think I am now current. This is the best TV I have ever owned. Even HD cable looks great but blu-ray is incredible. This is the best set available IMO bar none.

Relax to all and enjoy your set. It seems in the past two weeks since pictures were posted there has been a stream of new comers? I hope I helped but if not relax and put on a blu-ray. Prepare to be blown away...
Seriously...

Just don't want to shell out $6+k and then have to deal with issues. Perhaps I'm unrealistic, but I just can't quite wrap my head around that at this price point, these products should be anything short of flawless. I don't mean in terms of features or specs, those are right there for all to see, you know just what you're getting or not getting; I'm referring to manufacturing issues (defects) those out of the box surprises that no one anticipates. I read the xbr hx929 thread and I just can't believe the high% of issues with those units, it eliminated that set for me. The issue of returns and exchanges are exponentially more difficult here on the outer islands of Hawaii.

I do find your comments encouraging regarding your set and the experiences of others with early build dates. So I'm now going to let it go, cross my fingers and hope for the best (now where did i put those OCD meds??) Thanks for the words of wisdom.

Hello,

I have been reading these posts gratefully and have just bought the 70 inch elite and having it installed Friday. In March there was talk that you should only use sine wave ups device or none? What are current recs if any for surge suppression, ups, etc that will be compatible with the elite?

Thanks!

Whatever you get, just make sure it's pure sinewave.

What's sinewave? I live in a condominium, is a surge protector necessary for the tv? If it is, which protector is good?

Unless I'm missing something, those units are meant for computer networking gear. I suggest you look into a Richard Gray Power Company product, which will protect any product plugged into it and enhance your system. It's actually an audio/videophile product.

And yes some are better than others, better sine wave reproduction, less noise, and so on. Your call whether a high-end brand works better than a mid-brand for your use. As far as a UPS "enhancing" anything, not possible. But some may possibly degrade your system more than others, e.g. square-wave output units .

Anything one ads in the path of our home theater products may or may not help protect or improve the sound or picture. An example would be using a five dollar surge protector will most likely ad floor noise to a nice sounding audio system. Better products will help remove the floor noise. You don't want to add something like a cheap surge protector thinking you're protecting your system while at the same time your introducing a negative. So when considering what product to protect your electronic home theater, best to use a product made for AV products, not for computer products. You may be short changing or introducing unwanted situations. Some products do "enhance" by lowering the floor noise and improving the picture and that's a plus, being we are looking at products that will affect the Elite TV.
