Show us your set up on what u watch films / game on.

I'm quite into my gaming or film watching very rarly watch normal tv.

I opted for a plasma tv over LCD/LED just because of the amazing picture quality you get and I always watch in a dark room and not a fan of the overly bright picture led tvs give off.

My set up is a Panasonic 65vt50 tv

With lg 5.1 home cinema surround could be done with a better sound system but does for the mean time.

Would love to have a proper cinema room with projector ect.

got an old philips 88cm tv,but an onkyo tx-ds575 receiver with magnat speakers,so my experience is more audial obviously.

you're on the money there, i hate it when the sound experience isn't what it could be. when i got my tv it was a choice between size or what stuff it came with, so i went for a 32" full hd led thing (led backlit tv's are bright and mine gives me eye ache if the brightness isn't turned down) hdmi cables are a must too, sorted out the slightly dodgy picture i was getting from my xbox via a scart lead.

as for audio, the older stuff wins it for me. have an oldskool marantz amp running an 8 speaker setup, including a pair of low-end audiobahn subs into a bodged coffee table that i still haven't finished (a bit boomy for my liking but they're great for pissing off the neighbors)

not exactly a mega setup, but it works for me :)

Hdmi is the way to go I put everything through it. I have a monstor hdmi cable had to make the upgrade for 3d got it free with the tv though £70 for a lead is extorniate. How much difference it makes over just a standard hdmi cable I'm not so sure picture quality wise.

you have to(honestly) put this track(how you like me now pt 2) in any system to check the woofers distortion damping/reaction speed.

not everybodies cup of tea musicwise(8bit) but awesome for bass testing

hahaha defo not my taste in music there :P i find boston acoustics tracks are best for testing with (cant remember the name track i'm thinking of) or the basstronics track immortalized on youtube, or either of those will do if i'm just trying to pissoff the bellend who lives upstairs.

Forgive my ignorance, but that hasn't really got any low end.

Not clued up on my tvs, but the higher end ones you should be able to tune pretty well. Mine adjusts to the rooms lighting, and i imagen allot of them do also. Mine is a low end Toshiba but you still get loads of different modes and settings. Still, a pretty sweet ass tv.

I'll sort a pic out of mine tomorrow, gamers may just like it :-

You're doing it wrong. Plasma is on it's way out, for good reason - LED kicks it's ass.

I have a 42" plasma myself, but would much rather have a newer LED.

Just adjust it to how you like it, out of the box they're usually set up badly.

I'm gonna go out on this one and say your setup is bass heavy because i still can't find it. There's no way that track hits that low of a frequency, i'm certainly no expert too.

That track goes low, that's for sure.

Definitely not go look as most reviews I was looking at the top spec Panasonic vt series plasma vs the top end led es8000 Samsung and plasma won hands down on everything and the picture quality and blacks on its own will put any led tv to shame. Not to mention low input lag for gaming and with the refresh yet so high 3d picture quality practically cross talk free also.

Led tvs are pretty too look at but that was as far as it went for me wasn't interested in all the gimmicks that come with them either.

If your in a light room watching tv yeh led would be the way to go but anything else plasma wins hands down for picture quality.

I'm still toying with the idea of getting set calibrated get a refrence picture quality where nearly everything is as good as it can get for a picture but thx mode is great set up straight out the box.

Sorted some extra pics today as had a few on the computer already. Thinks more people need to contribute to this thread! Though i know most people surf elsewhere with their tech interests.

Toshiba 32xv555d

PS2

PS3 YLOD'd

PSP 1001 with FF7 on, yeah.

MS Wireless 3000 / 4000 (only there for the pic. there's a usb extension used for extra length ;) )

Sony blu-ray which i got with hmv vouchers in the sale, how lucky. Forgot what model. Ain't bad though.

Acer stock mini box. I3, 4gig DDR3, Nvidia 315- 512mb. Snappy little box, cba with a big system/ building at the time

Beresford Bushmaster

Arcam rpac (to the Bose and cable extended under carpet round back of room for phones ;) )

Bose Portable dock

360 80gb

Astro Mixamp

Beyer dt990 premiums with mic/ spoke mod :P

Sennheiser Momemtum

Audio Tech M50

Beyer dt1350

Cowon J3 48gb

Walkman A818, think that's about 6 years old!

Some awesome games on show!

Fork boxes filled with bmx dvds and cds.

DVDs i never use anymore so they're in some frame boxes under the bed. Along with older games i don't use.

As much as i'd like to upgrade the tv, audio, video camera and pc i think it still stands at an above average setup. I also want some vinyl decks for some mixing which means room i haven't got.

Who'd of thought i actually prefer to ride bikes huh?

Now post em up you lazy fuqs

Can I play? I know it's not a telly, but people come round to watch films on it from time to time...

The bits this thread cares about are:

3x 28" Hannspree 1920x1200 monitors

Teufel Concept B speakers/USB amp.

Big ass Pulp Fiction poster.

Mines nothing special but a decent enough setup. Sound system cost me nothing too. There's a centre speaker behind the telly and the two jamo speakers sit behind me on the wall.

If you're wondering what that orange thing is behind the telly it's crash that I painted on the wall and his Mexican friend.
