Nice clean setup! As for the LG btw, love those screens but I still favour Samsung's KS8000. The LG does have insane black levels and very bright colors. But especially for the black levels it also loses a lot of detail in very dark scenes which is too bad.

VERY nice! Love that E6! Got my eye on one to finally replace my 6020 Kuro, just waiting on a possible Black Friday sale from someone. Then again I may wait till CES and see what's coming out.
I didn't realize you could have a projector so close and still get such size out of it. How big is the display area?Here It goes my set up.It's under construction.
Are you just displaying it on a wall or is there a screen that comes down?

Thanks!
Whilst I have concluded that no TV is perfect I have yet to see anyone making that comparison, both on AV forums or reviews.
The very dark scene loss of detail you are talking about is down to 2 factors: the source content and having it professionally calibrated/tweaking settings. I have read hundreds of messages on AV forums alone and the only TV that can compare with the E6 is the Sony ZD9 (which most still would say the E6 trumps including most who have had both in their hands along with calibrators/reviewers) so not sure why you're comparing the KS8000...
Another factor is the panel lottery factor. Some are getting perfect panels (I was a lucky one) and others have received ones with terrible banding and vignetting etc...
I have to admit I do love the cheaper price and slightly better input lag of the Samsung though but as you can see on almost every review/owners threads for the E6, it's as close as a perfect TV you can get. Think if these TVs were half the price it would be a complete no-contest for every other TV manufacturer.
Thank you!
Great to see a Pioneer Kuro owner! Amazing line of TVs they were indeed. I was on the fence for 2 years with OLED as the Pioneer was that good but this E6 blew me away. Not just the reviews but seeing one in person I just found it truly jaw-dropping. There was even a Samsung rep in the store (as I was initially going to go for Samsung) and whilst he tried he admitted in the end the E6 was just in a different league. If you can get a good deal on one then totally go for it, you will not have any regrets. This is the only TV worthy of replacing a Kuro.

I've owned my Kuro since 2008 when I bought it new, yet I never got around to getting it professionally calibrated. I've been thinking about still getting it done as I've noticed elevated black levels along with the reddish tinted blacks. If I do get an E6, the Kuro won't be leaving my house so a calibration still may be worth it. Especially if I decide to wait till next year to get an OLED.
I looked at an E6 in Best Buy a few weeks ago and I just stared in amazement at how slick everything about it looks. Such a beautiful display.

Your curtains look a little short.Excellent setup though!
LOL indeed, can blame the wife for that though
haha.Thank you!
It is incredible, either way you will be happy but if you can get an E6 soon it will be a most worthy investment
Not as fancy as some of you, but here goes.
Living the true student life with an almost exclusively Ikea furnished apartment.
TV: Philips 32PFL3517H/12
Consoles: PS4 (500GB version), Wii U and Xbox 360.
Amplifier: NAD D3020
Speakers: Dali Opticon 2 (on Dali Connect stands)
This is what I use most of the time to play games. Still a work in progress for now. The TV is still from when I lived at my parents when a 32 inch TV was enough. Looking to upgrade to a 49 inch screen next year. The amp is also temporarily. Will be upgraded to one of the new NAD's coming in the next few months. And eventually I want to add a streamer and record player too.
Laptop: MSI GE40 Dragon Eyes
Speakers: Harman/Kardon Soundsticks III
While my laptop is mostly for my study I did choose some extra horsepower to be able to play some PC games. Mostly things like Cities: Skylines and indie games on Steam.
Overview of my Ikea fortress.

Nice and comfy. I like it.
I recently moved and also got quite a bit of stuff from Ikea..
It's weird how it's the only affordable/matching furniture place around. I did a -lot- of shopping, and if you want something to match that isn't Ikea you have to pay out the wazoo. Whatever.
Anyways, I'll post it up soon.
Just finished remodeling my den with new floors and paint.I'm still waiting on furnisher to arrive, but I went ahead and bought some storage. I'm having trouble figuring out what to do. I was thinking about nailing the boxes to the all to have them floating, but they are too heavy and I feel like with the additional weight in them they will just fall off the wall.
This is how I currently have the closet in the den set up. I will be hanging some decor on the bare walls. I just don't know what to throw in the bottom. I'll be finished with the room in about 10 days.

sold my big ass CRT to make way for a streaming setup which consists of a PC (i5 2,9ghz, 4gb ddr3 ram, geforce gt730 2gb), Xbox 360 and ElGato Game Capture HD.
Everything pass through a lagless HDMI-to-DVI adapter. The screen is a 24" Lenovo ThinkVision LT2423 with a rotatable screen. The Speakers are Creative T20's and the webcam, which I use as a controller cam, is a Logitech C270.
It's a work in progress as I'm not done yet. I need to sell the stack of games you see there, hang my minimalistic R2D2 painting and manage the wires behind the desk.

VR/living area rig completed.
i7 4790K with ID Cooling 240L FrostFlow AIO Liquid Cooler, 16GB DDR3-1866, GTX1080FE modded with EVGA Hybrid Kit AIO Liquid Cooler. Case is Phanteks P400S Silent Edition. Padded to dampen sound, a bit particular about this rig making a commotion of itself in the living area. The only audible enough noise being from the VRM air cooler on the GPU shroud, everything else pretty quiet.

Thanks a lot man!
I have since had 3 people PM me regarding where I had bought this entertainment unit from so here it is:
https://dwell.co.uk/104431
Top quality, looks great, floating shelf design with frosted glass top. Perfect for consoles in between so they have full venting and plent of storage space underneath. Comes in black and stone too.
Cheers.

Where does everyone get cable hiders/raceways? I need to run about 25 feet straight across my ceiling with adhesives (its a condo and i cant drill a bunch of holes) without it being super ugly. Ideally it could fit two ethernet cables.
The raceway on amazon is overpriced and I cant find much information about the Ikea Montera
cable hiders.

cable management is a task for me once I get my floors refinished...and I have a lot to manage these days...
Just cleaned up, unless I grab a GTX 1080 my setup is concluded for the remainder of this year

I'm seriously about to take my big vizio 4k tv to a pawn shop and then get a tv that has HDR. I may wait a year, however, when HDR comes standard.

Can you post some details about your setup? I''m assuming you're running two desktops as I see two keyboards. Actually i'm assuming 3 cause of the wireless keyboard maybe thats a HTPC in between your desk and TV?

Mine came in a box, like most ikea stuff I buy..all parts already in the box and I assembled when home. Maybe it's a different TV stand?

That looks so awesome. Cosy too, can imagine it's great with the main lights down and just the blue ones on.
You'll have the Byas probably, that's one box. The one you can choose your shelves and stuff is called Besta and it's completely modular.

One day I'd like to create a "neon 80s room" for my stuff.

Some things may be hard to see in this picture but for systems I have Atari Jaguar, 3DO (model FZ-10), Dreamcast, Xbox 360, PS3 w/ 500GB, PS4 w/ 2TB, Xbox One S 2TB, PSVR on PowerA stand. The TV is a 55" Samsung KU6500 4k curved.
Also ran across an old picture of my setup from 2007, kinda funny looking back

That Sega room brings a tear to this old Sega fan's eye. I've been meaning to get that sweet Space Harrier poster as its my fav game of all time. Its a bit pricey but it looks wonderful when put in a nice frame and hanged. All those Sega posters are great!

I paid good money for this Dynex!
That Sega room is outta control. Awesome collection, and the room just looks like it'd be fun as hell to hang out in.
My setup:
PS4
Sony 930D 55" 4K
