There she is. 50" plasma T.V. (Samsung)

I bought it at East Hamiltom Radio and the wife was standing right there. I thought I was going to die.

Because I was a new costomer and I had never bought a T.V. before (all mine have been hand-me-downs) he tossed in the matching samsung theather (499) in for a hundred bucks.



Now I know it's not the "best" stuff, but it's a helluva lot better that what we have!


I'm not a theater guy, we like the odd movie, and I like sports.... A LOT.

We justified the purchase by saying that if we have a baby next year, we'll NEVER be able to swing one.

I go pick it up tomorrow. All I need is a truck :P

Now I just touched on things like HDMI capapbilities, cables and sound.
I was informed that Cogeco (which does not support hdmi right now) offers a free HD box for 8mnths with the recipt of a T.V. from EHR so I'll order that today.

What sort of cables will I need and how much will i need to spend to make this puppy sing? I eyed the monster cables, but wasn't sure what they would do at the moment. I need more info.... the wife knows nothing about this stuff and freaked at 149 dollars for 3 feet of cable :lol: The ones the sales guy "tossed" into the deal I can see are nothing special.

So what should I be looking at now?

By looking at the layout of my basement.... I think I'll need a wall bracket. I'm going to hang the speakers myself.

Shouold be a fun weekend!
