Cool a thread i can make some decent comments on.

I be part owner of a Custom Home Theater/ Low voltage company

Depending on the model of display standard def shows may look grainy. HD pretty much looks good on anything.

There is actually a huge debate on which cable is better component or HDMI. I think they look the same personally. Only thing is if you run component you will need to also run a toslink or coax dig cable so you can get 5.1.

If any one need little stuff like remotes, cables, ect. I can hook it up. You would be surprised at the mark up for this stuff.

If you are local i can do the big stuff. Not to much savings shipping a big ol display to the east coast..

I am pretty good with most questions, the stuff i cant answer i will find out, have distributors and what not i can dig it out of.

I'll probably be contacting you as the entertainment bug bites me more!

the threat of burn in from video games scared me away.

I have never heard of this Oly...can you explain a little further for me?? I eventually want to get a flat screen...right now i have a 52" big screen...

My parents have one that they got a couple years ago, when burn in was a really big problem. Now, from what I've read, it isn't so bad, but I'm still not sure enough to try. I'm sure Reggie will chime in with some information, he really knows his stuff.

Some of the nicer plasma have screen protection. What they do is shift pixels every so often. If you are going to do some serious gaming LCD or DLP or a good LCOS is the way to go.

nice pics, I just got finished with my basement as well. Haven't got the TV yet for it. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

TDiddy - Like the wall unit. Did you buy it or have it custom built?

thanks - it was custom built.

Here's one pic of ours...

How thick is the back of the cabinet where the display is?

It would look nice on either a articulating or tilt mount.
Look good centered up in the cabinet space there.
