    Default My TV came in today! v. 65" of pure joy

    Mitsubishi 65" DLP 1080p WD-65731

    The HD Satellite connection will be set up tomorrow. College football is going to be great!

    I haven't even had a chance to set anything, adust, etc, so pardon the mess. I still need to get a backlight for the TV (looking at setting up something like this) and hook up my receiver, speakers, etc.

    How to make a backlight guide (Thanks to Rican219):

    I saw it lined up next to one of the Samsungs and the picture quality was about the same, but the gloss black front of the Samsung 1080ps really turned me off. I wanted a matte-black finish. Plus, I know that the Mitsi will do true 1080p when it becomes available. Will the Samsungs? I know that a lot do not do native 1080p, uncompressed signals just yet. Many do, but some don't.

    I still think Im going to end up with the 55HDT79 from Hitachi even though its not 1080P.

    I like the new JVC and Sony 46'' 1080P LCD's but I still want something bigger =/

    I agree about the glossy black on the Samsungs, thats what I have now and Im tired of it.

    version

    It's an old way of doing things from another forum that I am on.

    Sorta like...

    "Some new pics for today! v. jailbait girls"

    or

    "Did some new mods to my car! v. it sounds incredible now"

    etc

    Depends on the level of eye strain, honestly. It helps to reduce the strain. I have to see how much myself or my g/f get when watching this in a completely dark room all the time.

    Why? I am getting Dish tomorrow and opted not to go with Direct TV. What's the problem with them?

    looks good man, that backlight is a very good idea. I'm going to forward that link to my mom concerning what we were talking about in the other forum when it comes to eyestrain. I like how you put the CD in the corner of the screen, pictures never do justice on how big 65 inches actually is.

    The 3-yr service was another $340 I think, so take that into consideration.

    TV: $2900 ($3200 normally 'til I talked him down)
    Stand: $345 I think ($450 normally)
    3-yr service: $340
    Tax...

    That's really not bad at all, my friend's bro paid 6900 for his 61" Sony w/o a stand.

    i just ordered my own 1080p tv.... whats some of the upcoming signals we can come to expect in this resolution?

    I know blu-ray is out there but $1k is way to much!!!
    Is the xbox 360 output 1080?

    Right now im just waiting on the ps3 to come out, that should be some good stuff.

    LOOKING up the dimensions of the tv and seeing it from all angles, it would be too much work (to your walls) to mount that bitch in the wall. i retract my previous question.....
