jmoney's new TV

Well, it's finally happened...

I haved moved into the realm of HDTV.

Over the past few months, I've replaced my very first HTiB with some polk R series speakers and a Onkyo 602 receiver. I wasn't expecting to be able to get an HD until after I graduate. Lucky for me the Sony KD-34XBR960N is being discontinued. So it was now or never...

Congrats dude!

What did you do with the wooden Entertainment Center? More importantly, how do you like HD?

Looks like a fine upgrade to me.

Peace...

The wooden entertainment center got curbed last night. We just didn't have any place to store it. Somebody snagged it before this morning. So I guess we donated it to some needy (probably) college student in the area.

HD is the sweetest. I haven't watched Knight Rider in like 20 years -- so getting to watch it in HD was super sweet. I also find myself watching alot of the Discovery channel -- they seem to have one of the best HD feeds. We only pay for basic basic cable (like $7 a month), so it's kinda cool to pick up some of the unencrypted digital channels from the QAM tuner.

My only complaint is on the video game front. Jaggies are much more apparent now. I guess I'll have to get a 360...

QAM?

You now see the quandary inherent of going this route. Garbage in is exemplified. However, I personally feel it's worth it.

Nice tv I own the 30 inch model. I can't get over own well the enternal scaler upconverts dvd's. I don't think anything beats a Sony Crt for pic quality.
