Recently we purchased a new surround sound system and blue ray player in preparation for our entrance into the 21st century. We got an amazing deal from a friend who had an extra one that came with their new TV but didn't need it. Of course no new system would be complete without also replacing the old TV that I bought in college....the search began.
After much searching, asking questions and reading reviews we decided that "go big or go home" was a fitting mantra to use for this occasion. We decided to splurge a little.
Today was the arrival of the newest member of the Browning Family... a Samsung 46" LED LCD HDTV.
We got it from Amazon at a great price and now have a very sweet home theater setup. These new Samsung TVs are about 1.5 inches thick and look very cool. The video performance is amazing and unlike most LCD TVs the LED backlight technology can provide pure black colors and high contrast ratios. The other cool thing about this LCD TV is that there's almost no image degradation from extreme off-angle viewing.
The TV will live in the alcove above the fireplace like the old one.
As a necessary test I proceeded to watch select scenes from various DVDs on the new system. It wasn't Blue Ray quality of course but the player can up-convert standard DVDs to a higher image resolution. Everything looks fantastic and I'm very pleased.
