looks like a nice tv!

 

Awesome, I really wanted the RX-V1800, but I waited so long that the 1900 came out. And with that eBay Cash back deal, I couldn't resist!

 

The problem with these TVs is they're still Rear Projection TVs -- So viewing angle blows. I have an SXRD Rear Projection and I think the image quality is great when you're viewing it right on -- but the vertical viewing angle is horrible. If I stand up the TV gets brighter at the top and darker at the bottom -- granted I'm probably sitting too close to the TV, but if you have a room full of people, somebody can't see the TV perfectly.

The Mitsubishi Laser TV suffers from the same problem -- although the image quality, color reproduction and black levels are said to be insane at optimal viewing angles.

 

I'm with you!

I just put together a system that includes a Denon 989P, I'm still trying to figure this thing out. Things have come a long was since I bought my last receiver.

LCD is straight forward and the computer is good now that I got the sound over HDMI.

 

Hmmm.... sounds like a perfect fit for my viewing room.

 

Whatcha think?

Just watched Apocalypto... EXCELLENT sound!

 

If you want upscaling to 1080p, Audessy2, better sound decoding, and 4 HDMI inputs, you should actually stick with Onkyo. The Onkyo TX-SR706 is an excellent receiver that has had nearly universally good reviews and is in a similar price range. I just bought one a couple weeks ago and have had nothing but a positive experience so far.

 

I do not see where that receiver decodes the lossless codecs. It allows for them to be played "as is" from the player as is the case for my Denon(I misspoke earlier).
