Something to wake up to

Nice set up Yasmin. What make is your TV? All you need now is a home theatre system!



I have a 26" JVC HDTV I bought for uni and now use at home. It’s smaller than I would have liked, but I sit quite close to it. I play my Xbox 360 on it and watch DVD’s there all on my 5.1 surround sound. It’s fucking mint! I love the picture quality, it has more of a movie-colour to it. High contrast, darker bolder colours which is how I always have my set-up.



We have a 37" Phillips HD-TV connected to a HD-DVD player in the main room. We chose that as it looked better than all the other TV’s on display, so what’s the point of paying £300 more for a Sony Bravia when the Phillips has more natural looking colours?! I use it at night when it’s not appropriate to have the surround sound on and when I’m in the mood to watch some great visuals. The HD player has a brilliant upscaling quality, even watching a film as old as Pulp Fiction looks new and fresh. But the TV has shitty sound and so that’s the compromise. My regret is that I can’t watch Sin City on it as it’s R1, and the HD player isn’t region free for DVDs.
