I won't really know until Saturday once I get my Digital cable and HD programming. Also I should get my 360 some time soon saturday or monday.

I saw the HD on the TV at the store and it was stunning. I can't wait till Saturday. oNly thing is that it's very exspensive. Going price is 3500$. I'll give more deatial come monday when I get time to screw around with it.

Only real draw back with it is the regular cable looks bad becasue the TV res is so high and really shwos the imperfection of the normal cable, and DVD only run in 420p I think so the pic isn't as good as 720 or 1080i. But once the cable companies and DVD can get higher rez and contrast it will be even Better. This isn't just for mine but I think All LCD HDTV have this.

Go buy the thing I liked above. It's like night and day for DVD's. IF you have a DVI connector, that is.

The difference between my old sony player and that is just... amazing. Darks are 1000x more detailed, you can SEE things where you couldn't before. The difference is all in the small details, and in the color, but it brings the movie to LIFE. And the sound quality out of that player is just... OMG drool. Small details, small things, just the extra detail is amazing.

Actually, it's a best buy brand. Sometimes it's LG, sometimes it's something else. You have no idea what you get when you buy an Insignia.

EDIT: sometimes they're great deals too.

Trust me, it's worth it. I questioned spending $200 on a DVD player, my last one cost me $40... But I did, and I love it!

Heh, forgot to remove the remnants of the chinese takeout (hell, I have been living off the stuff for the past week... been in a moo-shu mood).

The TV was $5500 MSRP when I bought it, got it for $3200 or so plus some change at cost back when I worked for CC, it was out top of the line set at the time.
 
Wow, nice deal you got then...

Yeah, chinese is freakin' nice... So filling too.

Ever since I got my X360, i've been pretty much living off of Chinese too. Had a large order of Hunan Beef with Hot and Sour soup tonight. I honestly wish I had a nice big TV like that!

Thanks for the wall/TV comments guys =)

The wall is bare, it's actually the recessed lighting giving off that effect.

TV soon to be replaced!

How well does the 360 Play on the Panasonic? I am about to buy the same model that you have. How well does it display SD content?
 
Just got my system yesterday at Costco. 120 units sold out in four and a half hours.
$479 with PGR3, extra wireless controller, play and charge kit, and the XBOX premium kit.

What size is that 40" If it is right on bro. Bought the same one last week.

These things are like 3500$ and no one can keep them in stock. It's crazy!

So costco did get in some units?
Click to expand...
The El Camino Costco in South San Francisco received some.
There are more on the way to other Costcos in the US.
You just have to call and they will check the inventory and tell you which werehouse will be receiving 360s. Some are receiving 40 units. Lucky ones will receive about 160 units.

That's the 50" model. I bought it for $2000 on sale at Frys.
 
2 pics - not the greatest with the camera, but you get the picture.
Info:
65" Samsung HDTV

From the top of the stack:
Xbox 360 Core w. HDD and wireless networking (I went with wired controllers because I don't want to screw around with batteries all the time)
upscaling DVD player connected via DVI to the HDTV
Amp for my ported subwoofer box / endtable (actually it's an old receiver, but it puts out 250w @ 4 ohms)
6.1 receiver that runs the show

On top of the right speaker - Ms Pacman :cool:

Hey, that's the same TV I have! I got mine for $1900 flat, out the door :) AWESOME TV, best I've ever owned. Gorgeous picture, LOADS of features and inputs, etc. Samsung DLP's are bar-none the *best* HDTV's on the market, IMO.

You are absolutely correct. Well, there are some $13,000 Plasmas out there that compare nicely... but I spent over 11 months researching the technology behind LCD, Plasma and DLP. I also disected each company, their quality, their ups and their downs.

I knew what TV I wanted when I walked into the store. The sales guy, was like, "Oh this one ? ya this one sells by word of mouth." I wrote a check 5 minutes later.

Sorry Jason, I have to disagree. Hitachi makes the best HDTVs to date.

They are good, but I'm sorry... spend a year researching actual data and you will see that Samsung is bar none the leader in HDTVs. But, not to say Hitachi is bad.. they're no where near the top.

It actually depends on what type of HDTV you get. My Opinion:
LCD = Sony, Sharp
Plasma = Panasonic, Pioneer
DLP = Samsung
RPTV = Hitachi

It depends. I have a CRT RPTV and it is awesome for games, movies, and TV. Personally, I still haven't seen a DLP set in person that can compare to the image quality of a good CRT RP or FP setup. For watching TV, especially channels than aren't in native HD and need to be upconverted to the sets native res, CRT blows everything else out of the water. Of course, they are a lot bigger, heavier, and bulkier... but that is a price I am willing to pay.

Any yes, Sammy DLPs are great bang for the buck, but nowhere near the best HD sets bar none of the market. Compare a Sony Qualia, top of the line Hitachi CRT RPTV set, Mitsubishi Diamond Plus, Pioneer Elite (RP CRT or Plasma), HP 1080p DLP, or Runco 9" FP CRT setup and they will kill the Sammy, of course, you will pay a lot more for each of those...

DLP is well rounded, light, and inexpensive, but it isn't the be all end all for image quality.
