HooDooMan Wrote:Well, since I turned 40 on Friday, I decided to treat myself and buy a big-screen TV. I didn't end up getting the 73 inch like I posted earlier. After taking another look at my living room setup, a 73 inch screen would have been just too much for such a little room. So I bought a Mitsubishi WD-60738 60-inch DLP HDTV. It was an open box item on TigerDirect for $599, so I couldn't pass it up. I also bought a Panasonic SC-BTT350 3D Blu-ray 5.1 Home Theater System for $319. I bought two pair of the Optoma BG-ZD101DLP Link 3D glasses for $69 each. And I also bought 2 pairs of Atlantic Satellite speaker stands for $29 each. So hopefully, I can transform my little apartment living room into my own personal theater. Coming from my little 19-inch tube television, I'm sure it will be a dramatic transition for me! LOL! Once everything comes in and I get it all set up, I'll take pictures and post them on here. I can't wait to watch TRON and TRON: Legacy in all their 60-inch, 1080p, 3D, 5.1 surround sound glory! LOL!

Look forward to seeing you setup! This thread is not getting the "love" it deserves...

very interested in hearing about your plans.

Hey everyone, the TV finally got delivered! It came in on Tuesday, June 28th. The only problem was, since it was an open box, it didn't have a remote. So I ordered one and am waiting for it to be delivered. For the time being, I have been relegated to changing the channel and the settings using the buttons on the TV itself, which is somewhat complicated at times. But, other than that, I am absolutely loving this TV!

Here are some before and after pictures. (No hating on the floral sofa! My mama gave that to me and if you say anything bad about it, I'll beat your @$$!! LOL!) Here is the "before" picture with my old hand-me-down 19-inch tube TV:



And here is the "after" picture with my new Mitsubishi WD-60738 60-inch 3D DLP HDTV:



Pretty ridiculous, huh? LOL! My "TV stand" is an old stereo that my grandparents had and is something I'd like to restore eventually. Since it's brown wood, it doesn't match the black TV, plus it's a little too tall to serve as a TV stand. I'm eventually going to buy a proper TV stand for the TV but the stereo works okay for now. The whole setup is pretty ugly at this point, but it's functional. Over time, I'll get new matching furniture to make it look nice.

I got the 3D Blu-ray player and the 5.1 surround sound system set up, and it works great, especially here in my little apartment. (I'm probably bothering my neighbors late at night now! LOL!) I had to buy some speaker wire to extend the speaker cables. I did some really basic splices, so I'll have to redo them in a more permanent fashion using some crimp connectors. I also realized my Digital Audio and HDMI cables are too short, so I'll have to get some longer cables for that. Basically, it's pretty ugly right now with wires going everywhere, but again, it's functional. With some wire management, it will probably look a lot better.

So the first thing I watched was TRON: Legacy in 3D on Blu-ray. It took a few minutes to finally get it setup, since I didn't have a remote. But once I got it working...WOW! The 3D is INCREDIBLE!! It was on par with, possibly even better than, the 3D I saw at the theater. And since I'm about 6 to 6.5 feet from the screen, it's a very immersive experience!

People have mentioned about eye strain being so close to the screen. To be honest, I've been watching this TV for almost a week now and I have had NO eye strain whatsoever. I feel like I have my own personal movie theater in my apartment! In a nutshell, IT'S AWESOME!!

Once I get the remote in, I can go into the advanced menus where I can see how many hours the bulb has, and really start tweaking the settings. Once the bulb is past the break-in period, I want to calibrate it, so the picture will be even more stunning. All in all, I am VERY happy with my 40th birthday present to myself! Happy birthday to me! LOL!

quite a contrast from the previous setup! I love it when someone gets to experience a tremendous upgrade. and pay no mind to any haters of the sofa abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

lookin' good DrP. I've been thinking about installing some rope lines in the raised seating area. We want people to enjoy their theater experience and not sue us for hurting themselves.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Rope lines are an interesting idea. I have a carpet down on hardwood floor so it wouldn't work well for me but I have seen it used in places and it definitely gives that "theater" look.

DrP Wrote:I put in some Blue cold cathode back-lighting behind the screen. I am able to turn it on and off with a wireless remote control which is convenient. It's a nice way to have a little light while people are getting seated and going through the previews and also at the end when people are getting up but don't want to be hit with bright lights. Also, if somebody needs a bathroom break it gives enough light not to trip in the dark room while it doesn't disturb others still watching the movie. The photos were taken with my iphone so they really don't do justice to the effect as it fills the front of the room with a nice low level glow. Currently I have two 12 inch cathodes installed but I bought 2 more so it should have even more light in the near future. Two would have been fine for a regular size screen but my 150" screen is quite large and I think it would look even better with a little more lighting. To check out more pictures of my setup, go to: http://www.blu-ray.com/community/gallery.php?member=invenio-

Update:
I got the two extra cathodes in the mail. I hooked them up but unfortunately the AC power to molex adapter can't handle th power requirements of 4 tubes at once. It can do 3 but when all 4 are hooked up it blinks on and off. The adapter is only rated at 500 mA so I bought another AC adapter and will have 2 tubes on each. Hopefully by the end of this week I will have them all hooked up and working. I will post some pics when done.

I'm stuck watching it on your basic tv. My PS3 doubles as the Blu-Ray player. *sigh* I wish a had a nice setup like you guys.

The great thing about Tron is that you can enjoy it on any setup. I remember watching it on an old crappy 19" TV in the 80's and still enjoying it. Sure, I wouldn't go back to that now, but nonetheless it was fun back then, and it's fun now!

As for setups, keep posting what you got,.... humble or extravagant. It's all about different experiences.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online
