Mind if I ask what settings you have for your tv? I have the same panel, and curious what you had setup.

Sure. I use a calibration made from AVS member WPWOODJR. After using many different settings, these were the best in my and the forum's opinion.

I use the standard one. Movie is dark for my taste becuase I love to have "pop."

Note, since you have the 65 series, put Color Space to "Wide." Also, I have my color at '47.' It's just a personal preference since 50 tends to make skin tones a bit unnatural.

Wait, wrong setup! Sorry, I was just getting jealous of these big TV's/collections that outclass mine by a margin of 50. I just had to show something of mine that I find impressive. I also have a '06 WR250F just out of frame, if that helps...

If it helps, I'm insanely jealous of what seems to be some sort of large hill or small mountain in the background.

Sad but true... this was my setup for the longest. It makes me feel so nostalgic. No matter how big the TV gets or how nice the furniture ends up, nothing will ever beat what I owned as a kid... memories!

Here's my setup. Or, as I call it, my den of perpetual virginity. I apologize for the somewhat shitty nature of most of these pics. For as many settings as my mom's digital camera has, none of them ever result in a non-shit-looking image.

Heh, I've been meaning to do some cleanup for some time now. I figured it would be easier to get a second monitor though... ;)

And, for the record, that's an Avid editing keyboard. I alternate between it and an old school IBM clicky keyboard.

Don`t tell me you live with your parents...

If you dont, my hand to you about that room. That wall of digital entertainment is really opressing in a good way :)

Nah, I don't live with my parents. They got a divorce about a year ago so I only really live with my mom. By my estimation, that makes me only half the loser I used to be. Or, maybe not.

Heh i`m just jeallous to people who were not kicked away when they turned 18 and do not have to live in a shitty apartment and eat noodles every day except christmas, when it`s X-mas-noodles.

But i guess i`ll join the "crappiest setup" club when i get a camera at my hands.

I prefer a clean look, so I love being able to put all games and controllers in the drawers. Also, I put all my old consoles in the closet and only pull them out when needed. We just had a baby and that is why there are toys and swings and gliders in the room.

i think the $349 stand below it and hanging the plasma on the wall would look a lot better.

i guess it's good for those that really can't handle running a few wires in their wall.

Also the perfect solution for renters, or folks who want to move rooms around. There are game/dvd shelves on the side too. I saw it in real life yesterday and it's sweet.

Where did you get that desk?

EDIT: I think it's the Mikael from Ikea... How sturdy is it? I'll be using a 22" monitor, but it suggests a 17".

Well, it's actually the w3000 but that being said, I'm satisfied with it. The picture is fantastic and I notice very little if any input lag. At the same time, I can't say I'm satisfied with the motion blur although that really has more to do with issues inherent to LCD technology. I've been planning on selling it to my father and buying one of the 42 inch 1080p Panny plasmas but I think I'm going to end up holding onto it until the new plasmas come out this spring.
