How the right TV system changes my opinions

[sjordan2]

Even though I've been professionally involved in NASCAR racing for over 30 years (but my favorite is F1), my new Sony 40" TV and home theater system have made all kinds of racing more exciting, with Dolby surround sound following cars from screen left to screen right. I also found that the old "Grand Prix" movie on DVD (originally released in the 60s in Super Panavision Cinerama with multichannel stereo -- yes, it was that advanced that many years ago) provides a similar experience. A new viewing experience for me at home, that opens up more interests.

Well, this is one of the stupidest topic moves I've ever seen. How is this not related to cars, which is the qualification for General? Ridiculous.

Maybe because it's primarily about in-house entertainment systems , rather than about cars specifically.

When I bought a pair of vintage Fuselier 3-way speakers, hot-rodded them with dual-voice-coil woofers and revised crossovers, and added a powered subwoofer to the Dolby 5.1 (with LFE) system, I also experienced a new enthusiasm for some types of visual entertainment...and audio entertainment too. There's stuff there I just never heard before...

Correct, grasshopper...

well, I can tell ya that 60 inches of plasma tv with a good surround sound wakes you up to many sights and sounds never experienced before. I had a 50 inch DLP before that I thought was great, but the plasma is just unreal in picture quality.

I like 84" of screen with Hi-def from a 4200 lumen projector on a 1.1 gain gray screen and 7.1 audio.

it's a real treat when the blu-ray disks kick in the extra channels, mostly it's just HBO in 5.1.

Makes one wonder, and yet others stay. The best part is it gives you something fun to do, "Find the Missing Post" a really fun computer game only found on this board.

My 19" mono TV has rotary knobs. And still works after over thirty years of service.

Was kinda amusing watching the cable guy try to figure out how to hitch up everything.
