Really nice.
Also does your TV have overscan problems at the top & bottom of it?
I notice quite some cropping at the top & bottom of Mc.Murphy´s head.

Good lord man, you have a Playstation 2 in your car?

But what good is that for when you're driving?

Well the subs, amps, head unit and EQ were put in awhile ago. The monitor and Ps2 are new and cost me almost a $1000 installed, but if you feel comfortable doing the install yourself it can be had much cheaper. I would highly reccomend this monitor though because the picture is beautiful and it is much cheaper than similar products made by other companies.

Passengers, stop lights, traffic... for some reason I seem to spend alot of time waiting on people and such. Plus its funny to roll through traffic blasting porn through an 800 watt sound system with the window down

boston george what are they 17 in konig, nice car. I had a 1996 Honda Accord that was lowered 2 inches with 17 Enkei rims, and I had 5 tvs along with a PS2 and a dreamcast, the best is pulling up to a red light playing a fishing game with a fishing reel controller. I also had everything customized, on my care except the windows and the roof everything else was custom, my paint job cost $7,000 dollars alone I had shaved doorhandles, which suck in the winter, but then I lost my license sold I sold my car. But hopefully I will be back on the road soon and can get a 1997 M3 or a 2003 330ci

Cool! How does your Toshiba "mate" with your Mits HDTV?

Peace.....

It mates pretty well but now that I have such a big screen I am in the market for a player without the chroma bug. My Malata however did NOT mate well with my old Hitachi but looks really good with the new Mits. I think there was an issue with it and the Hitachi's upconversion to 540p, which is why when I bought this TV I got one that displayed 480p natively.

HD cable looks AMAZING. I had only ever seen HD on floor model tvs at the store, and it definetly looks better with the picture settings set to my liking. The next thing I need to do is get the AVIA disc to properly calibrate it. At least until I can afford an ISF calibration
