    Bought HDTV, question about INSTALLATION

    Im not buying the sat box, im going to lease it for $5 a month. Looks like it does in fact have an HDMI slot. So I will need some sort of splitter I guess. Got the tv hooked up last night and regular satellite channels arent the best. In fact probably look better on my old Sony tube tv. But I...

    Any comments on Sony KDF46E2000 46" LCD Projection

    I am really wanting a 46" 1080p LCD tv, but Iv decided to save some money and wait another year or two for the 1080p to become a little more popular. Also I heard the 07 models are supposed to have 1.3 HDMI, no streaking on LCD, 1080p will be 2nd gen, etc etc... just seems like a wise idea to...

    Think I have decided and will buy tv tomorrow

    do you have the 1.0 firmware? Do you know how to tell the difference when its brand new in box? do you have a ps3 or anyway of utilizing the 1080p? Iv read problems about "sparkles" when trying to play ps3 in 1080p with hdmi slots... but supposidly the 1.0 firmware has no issues.

I have less than 45" width to work with and this tv is 44.13" so its going to be CLOSE. I have cut some cardboard and measured 100 times...
