In Reply to: Yes, it is important and you should go with an HDMI 1.3-compliant receiver NT posted by Jazz Inmate on May 16, 2008 at 09:47:32:
It has the HDMI and preamp outs that I require. $429 at Amazon
Its not the end all, but i don't require much since I'm more a vinyl fanatic (which is much simpler).
FWIW, I bought the TV mostly to make the living room look better since I don't have the $$$ to build my "man cave". My wife doesn't like surround but I do. We don't watch many movies because its such a hassle to find movies that we both like. The stuff she likes would bore a mannequin.
Hopefully we can come to terms with this new toy. I think that my old surround was never setup correctly and was too aggressive for her. Maybe with new features that adjust dynamics, she'll be happy.
Comments are welcome..............but keep it to the AV receiver
