All in one system

Hi guys,

does anyone know if i can get an all in one dvd system which has a hdmi out, prog scan and some nice surround sound? Saw a phillips HTS3115 but apparently this has reliability problems.

Thanks in advance

thanks for the reply. That system would be way over my budget. The phillips one i saw was £170! anything around that mark would be good. Don't want to fork out too much.

cheers

£800 would be above my wildest dreams. I Only require something with a little bit more definition. A simple all in one system. Apart from the phillips and the aforementioned panasonic are there anymore?

thanks

Squiffy, while you do know your stuff, can you PLEASE stop saying to people, not enough, spend 2k... when the budget is £150.

Give advice, not useless info.

Fair enough, it wont buy you a good system, but it will buy A system, and if he is happy with it, who are you to say its not "good". Its all subjective.

As i said before, if he just watches the odd dvd, and wants sound from behind him, a philips £120 speaker set, and a £60 upscaling tosh DVD player will do the job he requires.

Your methodology is the same as someone asking for a cheap pc to run MS word, and speccing them SLI setups and SCSI hard drives...

If he's bothered enough to need seperates, he KNOWS he wants seperates, not an all in one setup. If this thread was "I have a £1500 budget, recommend me some gear", your advice applies, but not here im afraid

Some people dont want, need or can't afford the best gear, and are happy to settle for a cheap system from the high street. I think it will be single percents of people who spend thousands on hi-fi gear tbh, as most people simply don't get enough use to warrant the massive expenditure.

completely agree. You mentioned the tosh upscaler and some seperate speakers-can i use the tosh as an amp? or will i have to get an amp with it? to be honest one of the reasons i wanted an all in one was to minimize the number of boxes around the house!Please advise...

thanks for all advise so far. OK then so if i get a cheap amp and speakers set can someone recommend some for about £120 that have decent ports at the back. Ill need dvd player, tv maybe room for a 360 too.

cheers

ps sorry about my lack of knowledge
