I give it a 5.5/10 and all your points come from having the PS3.  Your TV hurts my eyes to look at.  You know you can get a 65" 720P Television for less than $1000. 

No point in having the PS3 if you're gonna play on standard TV.

sorry no pic, but I feel I got a pretty good setup.  62" HD Toshiba DLP with PS3 HDMI- Bose acoustimass surround sound.  Sounds amazing.  Anyone who says high Def is not needed is playing on a 30" screen mounted on a milk crate

all those set ups are terrible. I'm playin on a 51" HDTV with 5.1 surround sound hooked up with fiber optic cables and HDMI.  i dont know what could be better

Dude, a 51, you must be like 8 feet from your TV, it may just be me but i like my 27 where i can sit just three feet away and still be able to see the whole screen without swimming in it (and your 51 is probably rear projection which sucks)...... Yar

BroweChisox

same here, only my tv's a 57". I've got the HDMI audio going to the tv, then the tv audio out it isa fiber optic running up to a Yamaha HTR-5940. then out to my horse manure speakers for now, but im slowly but surely upgrading the 6.1 system to klipsch.

You really should upgrade your receiver as it is fairly low end. Yamaha makes some good options that support uncompressed PCM through HDMI instead of being stuck with compressed audio like you are now.

I never said anything about my setup... just made the observation that he was using very low end sound. It is a fact, not an opinion or comparison. Thanks for the assumption though.

[QUOTE="ssjlv4nappa"]Mines Bigger than yours... Mines bigger than yours. Grow up guys
[/QUOTE AMEN brother. I am SICK and tired of all of this, look what I got crap. For all of those who say you MUST have an HDTV for the PS3, you are full of it. Playing on a SDTV is great. Gameplay, guys, we play games for gameplay. yes, graphics are nice and a great bonus, but we still PLAY games, not just look at them. I am very glad you all have made it financially. You are all very lucky to be able to have the great audio/video setups you do. But please stop putting down people who don't have the financial resources you do. Now, I admit the original poster had it coming since he asked everyone to rate his setup. I also agree the 2Pac is lame, but leave the kid alone. He obviously likes the guy and is pretty happy with his setup. Nothing wrong with saying his setup is bad, but don't bash the guy into feeling like a piece of #%$&.

lol i remember when i was about 17 or 18 and i was obsessed with the HTIAB systems.. Thats where i got my first surround sound!  It really isn't THAT bad...  It really isn't THAT good either, but hey, for $300-400 you get what you pay for.  Sure, it's not digital theater blah blah blah but you know what, it worked for what it was bought for!  But now I'm going the higher end route with the fancy receiver, nice speakers, the whole 9 yards.  I still have that 7 year old system!  I'm still using the speakers until i purchase the good ones, one set at a time.  And the DVD player that came with it.  Oh, and the guy who was askin how far away from the TV we are - I'm about 8-10 feet from my 57".  It's pretty much perfect.  We have a HUGE living room, and the best part about the architecture of my home, is that there is the office right next to the L.R., then the Dining room, THEN the kitchen, so i dont hear the dishwasher when its on, or the bathroom, or nothing.  Basically, its me and my game and no interruptions.  Believe it or not, my wife is usually my second set of eyes, she loves watching when i play games like GOW or DMC.  She sees a lot of sh1t that i dont.

Nice setup...I'm curious, where did you get the cabinet your tv is on? It's pretty much exactly what I've been looking for.

a)  PS3 sucks on SDTV.  I have an SDTV.  I find myself squinting, tilting my head...  I can't read the names of half of the plays on Madden, and Marvel cuts off a lot of stuff on my tv.

b)  Playing on a widescreen HDTV is a Godsend.  To the point that I carry my PS3 over to my buddy's every weekend (ironically, the Wii looks horrid on his TV).

LOL, if you're talking to me, I was replying to the rant art the top of the page saying SDTV is great. My TV is a circuit city special circa 2002; 30some inches of cr*p :( I'm in law school, no $ for a new TV! I'm hoping the Mrs. buys me one for my bday.

It's from Ikea... called the Magiker... I got it on sale for $80. They have a grey one as well. There's also matching coffee tables and such. I love it. Perfect for a gamer with a lot of consoles.

PS3 sucks on SDTVYankee_In_TX
You are so wrong man. I've played on both HDTV and SDTV and have had a great time on both. I can read ALL the plays on Madden, no problem. You may be right about Marvel, I haven't played it, but you are VERY WRONG about Madden. I even have crappy vision with my old eyes and I can read everything on the SDTV. Sorry man, I guess we just disagree.

your 51 is probably rear projection which sucks......

Actually there are some nice LCoS TVs out right now (I don't like DLP). I want this TV: http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?ProductSKU=KDSR60XBR2&Dept=tvvideo&CategoryName=tv_ProjectionTVs_RearProjection_55to80TVs Cheaper at B&H Photo: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=Search&A=details&Q=&sku=425391&is=REG&addedTroughType=search

Just thought you might want to look up the Onkyo fix for the LFE channel through uncompressed PCM. For some reason, every manufacturer but Denon did not include an adjustment to the LFE track when it is sent through HDMI. Therefore all uncompressed tracks will have an LFE track 10db too low. I am unsure on some of the fixes/adjustments but it is something you should look into. You might have to see if the 604 supports individual settings per each input per each level. Avsforum will probably be more helpful as I have not calibrated a setup with that particular model.

Wow that is some nasty english, I am sure english is not your first language so I won't be too critical. Anyway, I have never ever heard of the brand Debin so I have to imagine it is even worse than the average HTIB which seems like it might be unimaginably bad.

I'm well aware of all that.  And i don't really care, my wife is already constantly complaining about the subwoofer being too loud.  Ill upgrade everything once my business takes off and i have a bigger place.

I wasn't trying to make you mad. There is a way to fix it I am sure. It is a budget receiver, but not that low budget.
