got a HDTV today

[RichieZ]

Samsung HLP5063W, was thinking about the pedastal ones but I don't really like how they look.

I'm so in love with this TV, its so beautiful.

And it has a VGA input (dunno if the DVI input is PC compatable) and I running it at 1280x760 and its crazy sharp. Very readable from the couch.

I'm definelty going to get a HTPC now, if you loiok in my picutre u can see my laptop sitting on the top right.

Now all i need to go is call up comcast and get the HD box, or I might go dish

pic, not 56K friendly i didn't resize it at all should have

DVI is ALWAYS (read: ALWAYS) PC compatible. You merely have to run video type resolution/refresh rates.

BTW, those Atlantic Technology 370 THX speakers?

Yea the DVI thing is annoying. My brother bought a phillips HDTV projection tv and he is ubber annoyed. The manual says it has a DVI port but it isnt pc compatible. Don't have DVI graphics card yet so I couldnt tell by plugginherin.

Is your Samsung DLP? If so won't it have a burn in? I want an HDTV but the burn in sounds soooo evil. LCD is ridiculousely expensive also.

Cool. Try running a wide screen resolution though so you aren't stretching the PC image.

The 373C works surprisingly well on the ground, though it's definitely not ideal. The feet allow the speaker to be pointed whatever angle you need:

Baseboard

And the Boundary Compensation control allows you to flatten the response curve to reduce the dialog (and other mid range sounds) coloration with the front channel right in front of the TV.
