Theatre upgrade |
January 27, 2008 |
For christmas this year, I decided to buy myself a home theatre upgrade. I've now almost finished the upgrade to a full High Definition experience.
The upgrade has included:
- Playstation 3 (for Blu-Ray movies)
- Sanyo PLV-Z2000 (1080p projector)
- Brightvision 92" screen
- LG 5403P Dual HD tuner, HDD recorder set top box
I'm still investigating options for a High Def receiver to get the most out of the new Blu-Ray audio formats.
Along with the new theatre room, I've also made a few changes to my Movie web page, so go over and check things out there.
The new playstation is also being used to access my media library, which is stored on my 1TB Linus file server. I am using a free media server package to stream to the playstation using DLNA, the product is called Mediatomb.
Connectivity between the projector and video output device is HDMI as this then provides a fully digital connection, so no loss of image quality. Unfortunately my current receiver is not compatible with HDMI, and this is the only interface that provides the new High Def audio formats. So I will be looking to upgrade that last component very soon!
