Oooooh new toy today!

Soooo purdy!

Oh man that looks sweet (no pun intended) !

Is that the change left over from buying it

Ooh and 'DannyW' I would move that skybox off the top of your amp mate that is seriously blocking the hot air flow.

Just moved into my new place so thought I would get a few quick pictures, proper ones will be posted when fully moved in. TV cabinet needs its doors on for example

Si, that looks wicked

Take it the move went ok then.

Move the speakers either side of the TV and connect everything upto the amp.

Seems a shame not to use the hi-fi for TV sound when its so close.

edit... Just noticed the AE satellite speakers in front of the TV. I'm sure they're good, but they're not B&W good

Going to use the AE 5.1 pacakge as the TV/Xbox/Bluray setup and keep the audio stuff separate.

I am still tempted to put the speakers either side of the tv but with the room being so big I want the speakers facing the pool table so the volume does not need to be so loud as to upset the neigbours when I have people over playing pool. I am also not sure that I have enough speaker wire.

The two cushions are set up, one for hifi listening and the other to sit for film watching.

Ah gotya, it does look like a fairly sizeable room. Definitely going to have to pop over at some point, especially as you're so close now.

Well from the wall where the speakers are to the end of the pool table room (all one room) is around 35-40ft.

You're welcome up at any point, just let me know.

Yeah there are two radiators behind the couch, it does look cramped from the pictures but its not cramped in real life. I think if the table wasn't there it would look bigger, may move it if it feels tight.

Good man, awsome awsome. I had a table in my living room and it just made it look crampt so moved it and put a shaggy rug down made a big difference!

Haha, i had a little more change than i was expecting to be honest. Bought it reduced from £799 to £349, which made it the same rpcie as the iq60c,

Picked up this Samsung C530 the other day for the 2nd room for gaming. Its the 37". Picture is great and 1080p MKV playback is a great bonus.

Had to plonk it on the temporary stand until i can get this room sorted.

How on earth are you doing that? :confused:

My sammy ps50c7000 doesn't support .mkv over ethernet. .avi from my dvd rip folder is fine though.

Lovely TV otherwise.

Have you had a look online for updates for your set? My sammy panel had an update that allowed for MKV playback.

Looks nice, but that table reflected in the TV needs tidying
