Umm,,,, I don't know?

Worth getting if already have on DVD? How much did you pay?

Very nice and clean setup! I love the rack, and may move this way when we move into our new place, not sure yet. Enjoy the new TV, I love my GT but I know the VT is even better!

Thanks cviper! I love my Mac setup! It's a huge improvement over the old Yamaha! The cables don't really show as much in person vs the pic!

I am using a d7000, it really is an awesome machine! The flash I just got does have a few different diffusers that came with it. I have a basic understanding of bouncing the light, if I had more time I'm sure I would of gotten a better picture. It's just a learning curve!

Thanks Mike, I think its the best I can do in this house. I can't wait until we move into our own house! I need to play around with this camera more, maybe we can meet up one day and you can give me a crash course in dslr's? I think I have the basics, but that's not saying much when I don't know what half the settings do!

I feel that in the future when son moves out with this setup, it will also include the 15...???

I love these speakers, so sexy!

Thats why when I got this unit from Best Buy, I haggled them into tossing in 4 of the 3D glasses by Panasonic for $45 each! The best way to negotiate prices is when you buy everything at once! I must say I love this TV! First, the blacks are just that, BLACK! The top and bottom bars when watching Blu-Rays are as black as the trim, (no flashlighting as well) it is amazing. I can not see any motion blurs with this TV, and the whites are amazing as well. I just love the pq with this TV, and will never recommend a LED over a Plasma again[Y] Just watched the new batman movie , Dark Knight Rises last night as well and just love this movie. I forgot how great this movie really is, the sound quality, oh man when the brass sections come on, wow! And the picture is really amazing, especially when the parts in imax are filmed.

Well here she is! I finally got around to taking a pic of the setup! I just need to play around with my new flash for my nikon, so far it makes taking pics way easier!

There is a forum member selling a Yamaha rx-v1700 for a great price, look him up. I have a Yamaha rx-v1500 I'm not using anymore, let me know brother.

Well just watched men in black 3, in 3d and it was awesome! The active shutters are an amazing improvement over the passive glasses, makes the picture clear. I haven't had much time with the tv yet, but plan on watching the new batman this weekend. Will get pics up soon!

Just got it hooked up last nite, and am now going to test her! We are watching MIB 3 3D! Should be fun!

Funny, for some reason this site does not show any love to chrome, anyone else have the same problems? I am now using I.E.

Damn chrome, I just used the guys at cnets settings, I am sure its very close to what some guy would do in home (the guy who does this at cnet is isf cert), and its free and easy to do. http://forums.cnet.com/7723-19410_102-566046/panasonic-tc-p55gt50-picture-settings/?tag=contentBody;threadListing I used this link for my tv, and so far it looks great! Mind you my plasma is not broke in yet, but for free and how this guy does his testing I think its great!

Here is some porn!

Well its done and should be here on weds! I got a killer deal on it and 4 glasses to boot! I just saw that I can have the geeks come out for free and do a calibration, since I am a silver level member at Best Buy! Will be posting pics soon!

Oh boy! Um.....in my opinion, I think you are going to be disappointed. I think since you have such awesome speakers, you need to go with components (pre/pro/amps/etc). I just went to an all McIntosh setup from my old Yamaha and there is no comparison, period. You get what you pay for. That being said, this AVR could be a good start for now, and then at some later time buy an 5 or 7 channel amp down the road when money permits. I think you can do better, but then again that's my opinion, and its just like a-holes, everybody has one!

Very nice unit. I have the V1500, and has done well for me for years. This 1700 has HDMI inputs, a feature mine didn't have. Good luck with sale on a very good AVR.

Think we are getting the Panasonic gt50,65". My view is get the best you can now and enjoy it! Will be doing the switch next week Monday.

I will have to check the fat old PS3 out and see if that can be done! Thanks for the info!

Nice! On the PS3 it can not send audio out both cables, either one or the other . Also my pre does not have HDMI inputs, which when I picked it up was not a big deal.

I do not think it will sound better by any means, its just another connection (resistance) in the signal. I just hope that when I do use that way, that I can still somehow turn on/off the TV speakers. Will try and see!

On a connection setup question, I see that there is an digital audio output I could use to send the signal to my pre. Currently I have it setup as to where the PS3 has the audio sent out to the digital out, that goes to the pre. Now that leaves the HDMI with just the video, and also leaves the TV with no audio. It would be nice to have the TV play the sound at times when I don't want to use my pre. So would the sound quality be affected by not using the direct way I have been, by way of using the TV's digital out to the pre, or should I just keep it from the PS3 to the pre?
