Like the title says, I'm looking at TV's and from what I have read this seems to be the way to go.

I think that's a nice , it's around the same price I got my philips 42"

 

Nice looking TV. The Vizio 42" 1080p was $1k a week ago at Costco/Costco.com. If I had the funds, I would of jumped on it before the deal was over. Next time I guess. If it was a $200 price difference, I'd lean towards the Aquos.

 

The Vizio's are nice. My roomate has a 32" Vizio HD LCD in his room that he got from Costco for $600.

 

+1 the 42 and 47 inch vizio lcds are really great quality under costco's deals, but Aquos is worth the 200

 

6000:1 is kinda weak

u can get the samsung 42 inch for about 1300 and its 10000:1 contrast...

just something to think about

 

dont go by the ratios because they arent always rated by dynamic contrast. That deal sounds good man. Not a bad price.

 

contrast ratio has become a marketing gimic, dont mean much anymore

 

I'm gonna shop around a little more but it looks like I will get this one. Thanks for all the input guys.

 

we do charge a consulting fee. superchargers for everyone except Lek.

 

LISTEN to McMoney Bags, he knows what he's talkin' about....

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA whatever man. you whylin!

 

Sharp's are nice, and I'm sure you've done your AV research, so I hope it isn't plagued by banding...
I've been lucky enough that mine has no bands or clouds. If anything, it just has minor "judder" and black crush...

Here's a pic before I ran the wires behind the wall

 

Nice mount Vic. How did you eventually run the wiring? I haven't mounted mine yet due to that issue. Have one coming for the bedroom too so I figured I'd knock it all out at one time.

 

It's a tilt mount from monoprice - check them out for random gear like mounts and HDMI cables - everyone else is a rip.

As for running the cables behind the wall, just two small holes that are covered up by wall plates. Used an old cable to fish the other cables down between the two holes.
