The New Bedroom System


The New Bedroom System
Originally uploaded by Aaron in Denver.
No car, but a new TV for the bedroom. The bar below is the surround sound thing from Yamaha, associated slimline sub is in the other pics here.

The DVD quality was crap (Zenith 50 buck thing), so that's going back and another one is on the way - Samsung Upconverting majiggy thing so that should fix those issues.

The first thing we watched was the HD version of the Oscars last night, which was kind of apt given the number of movies we watch. I may struggle to go back to normal TV now - the difference in quality is completely ridiculous.

Technical details - TV is a Sony Bravia KDL-V40XBR1 (40 inch LCD screen), surround sound is the Yamaha YSP-800 Digital Sound Projector, and the DVD that should be arriving in the next couple of days is the Samsung DVD-HD950 HD Conversion DVD Player

UPDATE - turns out the quality issue was some dodgy Monster cables. Still getting the new DVD though :-)
