    Re: Perfect home threater setup

    Oh, I'm not even considering the $$$$$$$$$$$ OLED panels, which you can't even get in computer monitor sizes yet, IIRC. I was thinking about the full array of LED backlighting, like Jake said...but now I'm thinking maybe the right LCD with LED edge lighting would be as good or close enough to the color and black depth of a plasma, while using a lot less energy. Physical depth isn't an issue, as it'll be wall-mounted (on an articulating arm, so viewing angle isn't as big a deal either) above a console/credenza.

    Anyway, I'm waiting for a draft from the guy about our furniture and mantel and such, so while I'd like to go a little bigger at 60-65", I might wind up going a little smaller depending on what the room plan looks like.

      Hi Max:
      I think your only choice for the most accurate picture at 60 to 65 inches would be a Panasonic plasma. LCD panels above 60 inches usually are much more expensive than a plasma panel. The Panasonic TC - P65S1 is about 130 pounds and retails for approx $2300. The Sharp Aquos LC65D64U 65-Inch 1080p is 146 pounds - listing at Amazon for $3000. Shop around.

      For either panel, at that size, you will need a very sturdy articulating arm. I've been pretty happy with my Mits 65 inch DLP sinc 2006, and was even thinking about the new 82 inch Mits...but with the advances in anti-glare coatings, the new Panasonic plasmas are looking very attractive. Let us know how you make out. Thanks.

      Check out my modest rig:

        Thanks, myoda. I was leaning towards a Panny or two in the 60-65" range, so it's nice to see a recommendation like that.

          You want something nice with a price; Go and buy a mit 75" laservue.It has cinema view that go hand in hand with the studio film color. If you want something to talk about all day long, go and watch a Vudu movie HDX on Cinema with the Mit lasevue.(YUu know lasevue come with Vudu in it). and To watch 3D with that big screen, at night with all the light off, let me tell you, it take you to the moon and back.

            Re: Perfect home threater setup

            Ok so tonight I ended up watching a couple of Vudu streaming movies and all I can say is I've never experienced anything like it!

            My LG LV5500 42" HDTV is amazing in HDX! The picture is perfect!

            I have an old school AIWA sound receiver, nothing special, but has always been a solid low cost performer (radio, old VCR sound, Old DVD player, old TV sound, tapes, CD's, etc.) and I love it now more than ever that I have the audio hooked up to the HDTV. I finally got the Dolby digital plus sound to go through a digital audio converter I bought, made by Gefen, and I am just totally impressed! I can't imagine a TRUE complete digital audio signal could possibly sound better, but it likely does?

            Fast Five and Transformers 3 was amazing! Better than any movie experience I've ever had in my 35 years! I really don't even want to watch HD Cable programming, or regular DVD's or Netflix or the other streaming applications I've tried so far. With the exception of Blu Ray, nothing compares to video in HDX.

            Great job Vudu! You have my money this winter!

              Re: Perfect home threater setup

              I am a newbie to the Vudu forum but have had an account for watching movies for a while. I already have the perfect Home Theater but am not sure i can activate my HTPC without a setup box. I can watch movies now through my Samsung blueray player but would like to have a second account enabled through my HTPC. I have good sound through my Bluray but have outstanding sound with my HTPC. Do I need a setup box or other device before I can watch movies on my HTPC. I can get other Movies like Netflix without a setbox or anything other than the internet. I prefer watching Netflix with my HTPC because I can get closed captions that is not available on my Blu-ray.

              If someone could give me the info I need for activation it would be greatly appreciated.
              thanks

                You can watch Vudu via computer, but your resolution is limited to SD. To me, that's a non-starter.
