If you want to use the HDMI ports for your PS3. This is the one I have and I'm thinking of taking it back because the HDMI ports don't work correctly with the PS3. It's a known issue that neither Sony or Westing House is willing to fix. The screen blinks on and off all the time. The only way to fix the issue is to turn the tv on and off. The tv has the problem when you first turn the PS3 on and again when you load a game. Here's one I'm thinking of trading it for. So what do you think of it?joshphillips

[QUOTE="Jockss2"]any suggestions on a decent one that isnt that expensive? its for my bedroom so its not like i need something overpoweringtrininuyawka

The Pioneer mentioned above is not too shabby, but you lose the PCM sound as it had no HDMI inputs.  The cheapest receiver I could find that has full 1080p inputs and outputs via HDMI cables is this $500 Onkyo:  But if you do some searching you may be able to find it for less. But then you need speakers and such.

I guess you have to decide what's more important: full 1080p resolution or full uncompressed PCM sound. To get both it will cost you. Or you can give up the 1080p and go with a HTIB. Or give up the PCM sound and stay with the original setup you mention (HDMI to TV, optical audio to surround sound)

i want to get a 1080p 40" Samsung or Sony Bravia only prob is they are like 2000 bucks a piece
however, i saw another HDTV for like 1200 720p and 36" so im kinda temped to get that and wait for the samsung or sony to go down

I am ISF certified so I have just experienced it first hand. You can most likely find out more at avsforum.com But since you have already bought it, I recommend just forgetting what I said and enjoying the set. Make sure you run through Avia at least once every couple months and you will be fine.BroweChisox

Hmm that sux for you, must have been some type of connection problem between the ppl you played against. I played online and had no lag and enjoyed being able to communicate with a mic. Its a fun game! Once u learn the controls.SeNyAeKsE
