Hi all,
I figured that it's time to invest a little on the video side, since everybody makes fun of me (well, my non audio fanatic friends) for having such an elaborate stereo (integrated w/ "H.T.") and an "antique" rear projection CRT TV. OK, it's for my enjoyment as well, I do like the entire movie experience- that's why I try and integrate the 2 channel with H.T. the best I can. Plus, a flat screen will interfere with the sound less when placed in the middle of Magnepans ;-)
My main goals are:
-Around 50"
-1080 resolution preferably
-Reliable
-Under $1000, or high bang for the buck
I plan on getting an Oppo BDP-83 Blu-Ray/ universal player to use with it.
All suggestions and experiences are appreciated.
Cory
