I have a Sony BX300 - 32"
I use this with a WDTV Live which I connect my external HDD and my laptop and view the media files on my TV. This has to be the best device ever.
Now I'm on the look out for sound. Since i want to do something once and for all, i will go for an AV receiver etc.

Now, Mr Watson my advice,
If you are going to get an LCD or Plasma or LED or those others and its going to be 32" or less... Go for a relatively affordable model. 720p or 1080p doesnt make a difference on this screen size.
If you have the big buck, go all out. Get a 42" upwards of Good LCD. Make sure it is FULL HD and not HD Ready
Something that is important to me is the TV Menu, thats why I love the Sony Bravia brand.

Hey,
Using a LG Scarlet 42" and a standard LG DVD machine plugged into a Harman Kardon amplifier and 5.1 JBL speaker system. The amp and speakers are almost 10years old but still kickass. Not intending to change them for another 10 years..ahhaha!! The LCD is beautiful with proper motion flow for fast action sequences (this used to be a problem with LCD's till about '06 or so). The scarlet has the trumotion feature that fixes this and also there is no image burn that used to be common with LCD's. I bought mine at the end of 2008 so that is close to 2 years come this Dec and absolutely love it. Only downside is that it does not have a internal HD to record output but otherwise has most of the standard features for an LCD of its time:
- 1080p HD
- 4 HDMi
- Hidden speakers
- Specific modes for various effects and also allows you to customize them to your taste (e.g: Cinema, Game, Sports mode etc)
Have a great day!

Guys,
The other day I saw really good advice from people on this list concerning Home theaters Audio systems and AVs ... I have been on the verge of swapping my home system, which is really outdated now, for the last 18 months or so, problem is each time I get to the Sony/ Samsung outlet or check online I find out they have better new technology, For example last year HD, HDMI .. LCD hit the market, then am like Ok its too new let me wait a bit the prices will get to the Mwananchi Level. Later I see this super slim LED back lit Samsung and its wow .. then 3D hits the market, Now there is HDBaseT... Guys I would like to see your views on what you use Plasma LCD etc, what models, size of the Screens whats the experience etc anyone using a project for your house ? At least now I know what to go for in terms of a AV receiver ... I want to know the TV side now, DVD players etc
