Morning SpiffyTVBD.

Good morning Dave(s).....   And yes, I've been playing with the tv.  I've been watching a few movies.  I borrowed a Blu-ray from my son and have compared it to some of my old regular dvds.  I was surprised to see that my old dvds look pretty darn good compared to the Blu-ray dvd.  Both the tv and the Blu-ray player have upconvert.  The Blu-ray upconverts to 4k, so I guess it's doing it's job.  So far I've watched The Dar Knight Rises (Blu-ray), and regular dvds, Tombstone, The Wild Bunch, and the new Vacation.  I haven't make any adjustmest to the picture yet, just straight out of the box, and without knowing all the bells and whistles yet, I've been pretty happy.  Now, do I want to try 3D...?  I'd need glasses and a movie.  If I try 3D, I'm thinking about Titanic or Pacific Rim.  Anyway, that's on the back burner at the moment.

That was for the Sis.  Current FS at CI is only with Jam items (probably due to the 20% promo)

when I built the media room in the new finished basement, I went with 7.1 sound and ran 25 foot hdmi and component cables to the new 42in LG 1080p set.  did not think of running straight rg58 cable.  I was more concerned with the high def qualities of the set.  did run a 25 audio cable though, so I can run the tv without the stereo just from the cable box, or I can switch to HDMI inputs for either the receiver (blue-ray, cable box-hdmi, Wii) or HDMI2 Google chromecast for netflix.  movies look & sound awesome.  Wiring before putting up the flat screen.

right, but there were a bunch of $2 gurkha cigars with $20 MSRP's  also bought some 3 count boxes of Tabantilla's, which were the bulk of the cigars I gave out when the first two kids were born.  Also hadn't seen the Gurkha Archive with the Cameroon wrapper in a while, now if only the Grand Age would show up again cheap, I would be very happy.

Nice.....  My old dvd player had optical out.  So I took that wire and hooked it to the tv optical out, and now have 5.1 when watching Netflix.  My new dvd player only had coax audio, so I bought a coax audio cable and hooked that to my Onkyo surround sound.  It sounds great.  I hope the neighbors can't hear it...
