Mits 73" DLP calibrated
PS3

HTPC (i7/12GB/5870) - killer gaming rig too
Onkyo 606B blew up a second time and just got tired of it (HDMI boards are defective in all of them since they put them over the heat)
HDMI-CEC worked flawlessly on the ONkyo, switching inputs etc. Made using the harmony a no brainer - sicne volume, on off, etc you just had to hit the TV.
Samsung complete disaster
HDMI-CEC did not work. It states "Anynet only (HDMI-CEC" but it should state - DOES NOT SUPPORT NON SAMSUNG PRODUCTS
HDMI 1.4 does NOT have Audio Return - I was looking for this
NOT 1.4a (like Onkyo)
No GUI
PS3 7.1 setup - constant "drop outs in battlestar blu-rays and a few others". can't explain it. It is best heard with long periods of no sound. Like say flipping throug the PS3 guide or your computer. Some sounds seem "lost" and then return!!!
It is so pretty to look at and runs VERY VERY COOL with 7.1 hooked up (Paradigm system)
Going to wait for Onkyo. Pre-ordered the 608 with 1.4a due in next week for $369 from a major place in chicago.... PM me if you want the sales guys name - was best price by far even after tax for me and free shipping.
Took Samsung back to Fry's today. They said "well, this is the 3rd one we have seen come back in 1 week".
Nice.
