Wow they way you say it, its like you are having a Gold Class in your own house. Mind taking some pics of your cinema? 

Its true. An best part is, I can pause when need go toilet, I can stop when feel sleepy and when hungry, the fridge is just 3 steps away. Ha! hA!...

I will make 1 seperate thread once all done. I've been taking pictures and all. Now, left eiling mount bracket. Once that done, I will do cable laying using PVC conduit (cable tray). And may be I will go get my component video and composite video as well.

So, hope can wait...

I see. Sure I will wait for the thread. Anyway any plans for HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player? Then it will be a perfect combo, upscaling DVD and full HD movie experience.

thanks a lot.... will try it at home.

yup, LG is too bright and it has no back light control option on standard menu. i'm yet to try the service menu if there is an option to tune the back light. the grainy picture might due to it inferior XD Engine.... on PC mode XD is inactive and the PQ is just fabulous.....of course depending on the source file.

Nah, think positively my friend, it's an investment and audiophile stuff are men's best friend after your wife or girlfriend. 

It will cost a bomb but if you don't get a decent display and player, then you're missing a lot from the HD era. It will be most costly than buying an average display or player and selling them here or trading them for a better one, you'll loose more money in the long run so if you wanna buy, just get the best that you can get within our budget, get some advice and comments from the forumers here and you won't go wrong. Of course, alternatively, do read a few Hi-Fi magazines as a rough guidance too. 

Well, The player is considered peanuts if compared to other investments on the AV.

But I never regret every single sen on my Home Theater. Everytime I watch a movie in the house, I feel like I need to buy ticket, then when finish, I feel like you go cinema and movie finish time. Ha! HA!...

I get the best seat, I get the best sound effect seat... But of course, my mom says it feels like watching movie in the class kambing (olden times, front rows are cheaper, they call it class kambing).

Just bought the LG 37" LCD TV, the screen is too bright until i can see the actor 's face when he is standing under the sun. Talk to the saleman, he told me asean version is brighter than the europe batch now trying to call the LG people to request changing the Engine inside.   

1 thing i notice is the LCD not clear when watching the Astro program and this monday playing a pirated DVD Children chinese new year movie, the output is s***, don't know is the DVD problem or my LCD problem. can't see the face of the children singer at all. 

Yupe, just hope they can exchange it to other models like 42" 2rr for me which is more fine due to 2 layer screen compare to the 37"

If possible try change to other brand, LG QC really got problem.

Hope so but don't think they allow me to do that.

yup...only the 42" is using S-IPS panel AKA hard panel....

as for the brightness and back light, I believe it can be tuned in the service menu but "DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK".

To get into SM, press n hold the menu button on the remote, then press n hold the menu button on the TV for about 6sec until the menu pops up. i'm yet to have time to tweak this. Try to serch in AVForum and AVS and their model is LC2D (D stand for digtal tuner)

about the DVD, you might want to try it on other TV before concluding. what is the connection of your DVD player to the TV? that might just the disk at fault??

Sharp's panels are horrible, I'd stick with Samsung's panels for minimum banding and dead pixels. I know Sony uses Samsung's panels as well..not sure about the Bravia line. The panel is just one factor affecting the quality anyway - mainly brightness uniformity, I think the image processor and circuit would make a bigger difference. Looking at their Aquos line really makes me

The quality of 42" is better than the 37" alot due to the hard panel design by Haier. B4 i change to the 37", i m using the 42". I change it because it is too wide for me - my chair distance is about 10 feets after change it i feel very regret and now waiting for the vendor to helping me on this. hope i can change the 37" back to 42".

For the DVD part, i have to buy a orin DVD to test it. Currently i m using the component cable for the connection. Have to solve this b4 i setup my own HTPC. 

Thanks for the lead, will try it out tonight.
