yea.. its bad azz. it was only 1200 dollars @ best buy i got no interest till January of 09.. i was gonna get something bigger but the tv is perfect just 4 my room.

Yeah total bargain with a great picture. I had it on it's stand for a couple of months and recently put on mounted on the wall. I love it!

[martinp1]

i have it on its stand now.. im lookin 2 get it mounted on the wall.. how much was the installiation on that 1?

[Quinthoopachiefy]

I got the wall mount from bestbuy for 100 dollars. I did it myself. Installation is not difficult, just need to find the stud in the wall for main screw in the middle. I have a small wall that had studs to far apart so the tv would have been really off. I purchase really strong wall anchors and screws and did it without going into stud and it worked really well. Took about an hour with getting cables done and everything. Ran cables up through wall. Hope that info helps.

I saw a wall mount at walmart for 49.99, but was skeptical on quality and sturdiness.

Receivers:

Sony STR-DG910 ($330)

Onkyo TX-SR605 ($400)

Yamaha RX-V661 ($500)


These are some great entry level receivers (HDMI Inputs for 1080p/Lossless Audio!)

Aside from Blue-ish whites (probably isf-able), these are great sets...perfect game tv as well!

That the gaming TV? I have that exact TV in my game room...awesome TV, does 1080P through component...good for the slow start MS 360 system which lacks the HDMI port

If you're handy, angle iron from homedepot does a good job. If not, ebay sells some decent wall mounts. I'm looking at onkyo 605 - it does HDMI-trueHD & DTSMA * PCM. There's a question if players will send the lossless compressed audio via HDMI though, so worst case, you do PCM over HDMI or lossy audio.

(Btw, receivers also need 5.1/7.1 speakers - those things can cost a lot more than everything else you got in your HT if you're not careful --- good speakers can be really expensive)
