I'm interested in their CD player, ERC-1. Anybody have any experience with it? Whats your thoughts?

Ah i see the confusion, i guess you're asking if your AVR will upscale any input signal, be it HDMI or any other input. Most AVR's will upscale the HDMI output to whatever resolution you set it. For example mine is set to through so it doesn't upscale any images but allows the to go through in...

did i mention, i wanted decent stero speakers, at a steal ... budget is an issue.

I know they do accept the old analogue signal still. That won't change for a while.

Oooh let me know when u want to let them go, i'm in the market for some decent stereo speakers. What models are they exactly?

LOL, now now boys play nice. Both valid points. I will be using this pc for gaming and movies, and not for work. I was reading about TN vs IPS, and for sure IPS is far superior in all ways except response times. Also, one deterrent of the TN screens for me is the very shiny/glossy panels, it...

You are right, the main reason i asked for all your opinions is that i wanted  to spend my money on something that would perform, look and last the price. Price is a concern, as it always is, but i will pay for great quality. Still all up in the air, but after reading lotsa reviews and that...

LOL, i was smart, i made my wife sign that i will be allowed to do this in our new house, which we just moved into 2 weeks ago!! I R GENIUS!!

wow thats beautiful!!!

Yup, good advice all around guys, thanks. I'm just pondering these things as it is almost "give myself a present" time of year. But i have tons of things i can spend the money on. And no i have not yet added taken the other steps. Thanks again guys.

Thanks for that windshear. So perhaps i should think about trading up, as eventually i assume i will get a 3d TV, but then again, how much 3d BD's are out there. Tough call i guess. But i guess, i'm somewhat future proofing my AVR, but thats what i thought when i got the 807 just about a year...

So whats all this business about the new gen of AVR's with 3D features. What exactly does that mean? I have the Onkyo 807 and it has the Pro-Logic IIx, which gives the AVR of adding a front height speaker, which i essentially the same thing right? Or am i missing the point?

I've noticed a lot more people are leaning towards creating a dedicated HT room in their houses. I know i'm leading up to doing that soon to. So how bout a piece on pointers on creating a HT room in your own house. Something that includes the do's and don'ts as well as suppliers and the right...

Ye i am, but basing it on build quality and pedigree, not saying that i'm going to buy it for sure. I spent R2900 on my dell 19inch 4 years ago, and they are still as great as they were then. I also have 2 samsung LCD TV's, which i'm very happy with as well. But i sometimes wonder about the...

Ye looking at the dell 24inch now, its R5600, slightly over budget, but i can hold out a month or two and save up for it. And i guess it will be sweet having 3 dells, even tho my 2 are only 19 inch.

I currently have to 19inch dells, and have been very happy with them, unfortunately they are about 3 years old and well, not up to par with resolutions now. Does anybody else think that the 3008WFP SuperView is better than the Sammy? Not sure now .... opinions? Eek, the dell U2711 is R8200...

OK, i'm taking your advice and getting it.

Thanks guys, i see that wootware have this 24inch BX2450 and also the P2770H P2770H for sale. The 24 inch is an LED and looks sleek. what u guys think?

Hey guys, SARS gave me a chance to upgrade, so i'm in the marked for a HD monitor for gaming purposes. I would like something at least 23inch or larger. I've been trying to research but reviews are not really helping. I actually need some advice from people locally. I've looked at some sammy's...

Hey Jaco. As said LAV, most AVR's around the 5 year or less mark will cater for your needs. However i think if you get a 2/3 year one with HDMI, at least it will be future proof for a bit. I know you said that you don't have a flat panel and its not high on your list, but i think it just makes...
