Wow... Erm, that's bigger than I thought!
Sadly, that was not the words spoken by a young lady when talking about my manhood 
I got a new TV, and just got it set up;
50" Samsung I mean I knew it was gonna be big, but fuck me, I wasn't prepared for it to be THAT big lol....
Anyway, enough showing off

Stu - I'd have loved a Panny, or better still I pioneer, but this only cost me Ł650, brand new in never opened box, and still with 4.5yrs John Lewis warrenty 
Mike - for perspective - that unit is 150cm long (nearly 5ft!) and the picture above it is a meter wide!
I must admit I think it's slightly over exuberant, and does smack off "ooh, look how big my TV is" when someone walks in the room, but then I think "fuck that" and just watch a movie lol.....
(PS, youporn never looked so good )

The TV's allways look much more bigger in the houe than shop I was surprised how much my 42" was bigger.

More suited for music than movie surround sound, which is why I got them, but they work well for surround sound all the same

nice Thrush. Trouble is you have to weigh up what you primarly use the speakers for. Once i get around to building my set up (wont be for a few months as i need sendible things first 
) i'm on planning on satilites for now.
Looks good mate

I remember when I bought my 32" CRT TV, was ok size in the shop, got it back home and woooahhh..
Although when this 50" was delivered, it was a struggle to get the box in the house
When we move house, I'm having 2 things, a 60" pioneer full hd and a 5-6ft fish tank inthe wall that you can see from 2 rooms

Rhys, I bought them primarily for music, for which the are SUPERB. Fortunately my so let's me adjust frequency cut off and EQ for each input so they are set up differently for surround sound with the DVD player, so they work well for that aswell

That's fecking huge!!!!!
What's the pic quality like? I went for a 36" LCD last year and the picture is rubbish unless your watching HD. Especially for sport.

It's not bad actually! I was expecting at that size, with regular DVD and Freeview for it to be blocky and pixel'ly but it's actually pretty good - get up close to text on screen like BBC news etc and you can see artifacts, but general watching is fine.
Got the DVD (regular, not HD) connected by both component cable and HDMI and there's very little in it - HDMI is a bit sharper, and is reporting 1920x1080i res - and the computer connected by VGA is superb! Was running it at 1920x1080 for 1:1 pixel mapping, but switched that down to 1360x768 just to make the text and icons a bit larger and easier to see. But it's clear as fuck (I was running that PC into a CRT TV using s-video!) and dvd/avi playback through the computer is stunning!

Glen - thats what I've just gone from - a 36" Toshiba CRT, which had such a WICKED picture! And the speakers on that old TV were so much better than the ones in the plasma! Shame to see it go really, but time to move with the times lol....
