Upgrade complete.... for now.

My latest series of home theater upgrades, which started November 2008, finally came to an end for me this past weekend with a couple of purchases. The purpose of this mission was to minimize cable clutter by doing away with component and optical cables for HDMI cables. So here goes.

BEFORE: My previous home theater signs that welcome visitors upon entering my living room.

NOW: My new sign. I no longer have HD-DVDs but I did for awhile and will keep the sign as is.

First thing you may notice is that the walls were pink. Maria deals with my home theater gear spending, I deal with her insane color choices. :)

BEFORE: Toshiba 50" RPTV showing a high-definition feed from DirecTV. Surrounding the monitor are Definitive Technology Pro-Cinema 80 front and center speakers

NOW: My new monitor is the Samsung 61" DLP HDTV. The front and center speakers remain the same, as does the sub. Notice the newer insane color choice.
