[Retired] The LCD Thread

I'm definitely going to have to consider the LP2065. I like how the 26" Planar looks, but I've grown very used to separating different tasks between my two monitors and I'd like to maintain that kind of functionality. I have one friend who keeps telling me that dual widescreens are really...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

I'm in the market for two monitors, as my dual 19" 4:3 LCDs are starting to show their age and wear. Ideally, I'd like them to have the following specs: -Same or greater height than 19" 4:3, which means at least 21" or 22" widescreen. -Good color accuracy - preferably a true 8-bit panel, but...

My TV has stereo RCA out - 2.1 Speakers?

An interesting note pertaining to this: My shipping estimate for all the parts together (sub, rec and speakers) was $114. But shipping the speakers in one order and the sub and rec in another? $16 for each package. Thanks for letting me know that. :)

I'll look into it. I'm also considering going with bookshelf speakers, since I don't have a huge amount of space around my system, but those Polks seem like a decent investment.

My TV has stereo RCA out - 2.1 Speakers?

:light: There's a Fry's within about 40 minutes of me, so I was thinking of calling them to see if they have those components - sales tax would be cheaper than shipping for these things. They don't seem to have any Dayton subs, though - do you know who would carry them, including B&M stores...

Yes, the 304 is what I'm looking at. I'm also looking at the Polk R50s (http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4005092) for speakers, and this KLH unit (http://shop2.outpost.com/product/5383558) for a sub. If I route all the audio to the receiver, will I still be able to route things to the TV for...

My TV has stereo RCA out - 2.1 Speakers?

Partially the space issue, and partially because it'd be nice to replace my $40 DVD player with something that has HDMI out. :) And yeah, I read your sticky - that's part of where I got my info. Thanks for that, it's given me some good ideas. I may just go with a relatively inexpensive (Fry's...

My TV has stereo RCA out - 2.1 Speakers?

I've come to the conclusion that it'd be better for me to just get two speakers, a subwoofer and a receiver for $400-500 - I want to be able to listen to music with this setup through my HTPC as well, and I've read that most HTIB setups have cruddy satellite speakers that don't cover the midbass...

My TV has stereo RCA out - 2.1 Speakers?

Most of the ones I'm looking at don't seem to have enough inputs, RCA or otherwise, for my components. In that case, would I be able to plug all those sources into the TV and plug the TV into the aux in on the DVD player/receiver, or would that cause some kind of feedback problem when using the...

My TV has stereo RCA out - 2.1 Speakers?

I recently got a Vizio 32" LCD TV, which has stereo RCA output jacks. Can I directly connect a set of speakers plus subwoofer to these, and if so what are some recommendations as to what to purchase? All my devices (HTPC, DVD player, PS2) are connected to the TV, and I don't care about 5.1...
