so heres a pic of the elcheaop TV/Home Theater setup I picked up yesterday. I think the total for both was like 500$. Just wanted something, since I havent owned a TV in like 4 years, just have been using a computer with a 19" flat tube monitor as my TV with a Matrox Marvel card in it. The TV is a pretty nice 27" JVC ( best quality for the money that I could find), and the home theater is A Magnovox. Think it cost under 250. It had Component video out and thats mainly what I wanted since the TV has Component video in. Also.. since I am in an apartment I didnt need anything too loud ( I dont like pissing off my neighbors). The quality of the sound is suprising for the cost of the system.
I am cleaning my apt today so most of the stuff around the TV is going away
Also I think my out of pocket on this was under 300$ .. got some nice Gift Certs and such
