I was a bit disappointed Saturday afternoon turning it on for the first time after Best Buy delivered it. The picture was way off, seemed very pixelized, no where near the picture we saw at Best Buy. After some research on avsforum.com, I adjusted the settings and it looks much, much better. On SD, the image isn't as good as I would like it to be, so I'll still be trying to adjust that a little bit much. On HD, its amazing. The picture is almost, life-like, the sound is crisp and clear.

I tried out Gran Turismo 4 on my PStwo and WOW! Running it at 1080i resolution is insane.

Another piece of hardware that is a must get for any HD setup is a HD DVD Player. Theres a few choices out there from SONY, Samsung, Toshiba and LG. Being the SONY freak that I am, naturally I looked at SONY first. However their DVP-NS975V was getting a lot of bad reviews on cnet.com so I passed for the Samsung instead. Before I was viewing my DVDs on my PStwo at its native 480i resolution. Now I'm running it on my Samsung player at 1080i via the HDMI port and what a difference! The video and audio are simply stunning!

All and all, this setup is worth every penny. Next up... SONY Dream System to complete my home theater setup.
