Onkyo HT-RC160 AV receiver - $340 ($350 - $10 code RECEIVER151)

This is an upgrade from my Onkyo TX-SR505 which doesn't support the new BD audio formats and is limited to video only HDMI switching.

I also considered the Onkyo TX-SR607 for $400 (special savings at Newegg) but in the end the $60 difference wasn't enough to justify the few additional features, none of which I really needed.

I also picked up a 2-pack of 3 foot HDMI 1.3b cables at meritline.com for $7.99 shipped.

Cool. I set up an association in NBA 2K10. CPU is too tough for me to defend at this point at default settings. I had to alter the CPU shot sliders to make the CPU shooting fair for me to not rage against the PS3 and eject the disc in disgust. Which I have done once already because I was wasted by 20 points, however after I altered the sliders, the CPU shooting became fair, so I am satisfied.

25.5" Asus vw266h

1920x1200

it looks great! no dead pixels, got it from amazon for $293 shipped, minus $30 MIR

took the time to calibrate it with my xrite i1 display2 colorometer and it looks pretty amazing to my eyes.

the stock settings are a bit garish, but the "normal" white balance setting seemed to be the closest to my calibrated settings. no matter what the brightness needs to be dropped way down the from default 80 to an eye friendly 20.

for the money i'm impressed. it should be a good start to a future eyefinity setup i plan to build.

only downsides are lack of display port and the stand only allows for tilt. a new stand that supports 100x100mm vesa mounts can be had for 40-50 bucks though.

I bought this on a T-shirt.
It's a mixture of the 3 Wolf Moon Shirt on Amazon, which was famous for 'magical' reviews, and good old keyboard cat.

I don't want dem expensive brand name clothes, because is paying for some fat cat, I don't want, I will go without fat cat clothes, I got some shorts, shirts, couple of shoes, quality is just as good as much more expensive fat cat clothes however I doubt someone will steal my shoes if I go walking in the hood
