You may also want to have him run empty conduit and a ceiling power recepticle in case you decide to go with a projector down the road? It's very inexpensive now, and you may regret not doing it later. Besides, it's a great selling feature.

bump?

Sorry Michael...I thought I replied...thank you again!! Coincidentally, you named the exact 2 projectors I was leaning towards - pearl and JVC :-)

Hi Michael.... Would you mind giving your LCD / LCOS recommendation? DLP rainbows kill me, and I enjoy taking things apart. :-) My "agreed" budget is $3000 for projector only, but I'm still working the wife over to let me spend $6000. Sorry, I should mention my room is 15x13. Viewing...

Excellent thread George. I couldn't agree more. Thank you!

I'm no expert, but if this is the XSRD set I've been looking at (I think it is), then I can't imagine a better picture. My only hesitation with purchase is my new house isn't finished yet. :-)

I am looking to purchase the same TV, or a smaller size, but same model line. I have Adelphia cable (Macedonia, Ohio). Does anyone know if I would have the same luck in receiving the HD chanels without a cable set top box? Also, rumor has it Adelphia is selling to Time Warner. If that...

yes, thanks!

I agree. The resolution of the HS-50 looks to be lower but the other specs might make up for it. I think this is what I'll be getting myself.

Update, I just verified (google search) that Sony does in fact still make the DB series, but for non-US sales. You might look around the net or call some dealers. Maybe somebody can hook you up with one? The latest model appears to be the STR-DB795? It's received some really good reviews.

Sorry, never mind. I just found out, Sony did in fact stop making the DB or QS (at least in the US). At this point, if I went Sony, I'd go used DB/QS or only ES.

I'd look around also. I had a DE (THOUGHT it was pretty decent). I sold it and bought a Sony STR-DB930 (some ES components). It may be replaced in my main HT room, but I quite possibly may never sell it!! You might consider if Sony still makes the DB series (now called the QS, I think)? Try...

Digital Coax gave my system much more clarity over optical.

I still LOVE my DB930 Marty!!
