Fixed... put wrong hrz down...

I have my LCD on the wall... and let me tell you... that way is hands down awesome. It was real nice to get rid of that big tv unit on the floor....

It's different now... The PC faces the right way and resides on an old end table that I hacked the legs off of and painted black... The TV sits on it and it sets on the center section of the entertainment center. Plus I have an Xbox 360 now...

Specs:

Samsung 1080p 46" TV
Sony 800W 5-disc DVD changer w/ surround
custom PC w/ wireless keyboard and mouse
Xbox 360 Elite
modded Xbox
PS2
old EQ mostly cause it's got flashing lights and fills a shelf
plus the cable modem and wireless router for cool flashing lights

52" Toshiba Regza 52RV535U
Sony BDPS550 Blu ray player
Pioneer 7.1 HDMI Home Theatre Receiver-VSX-9130TXH-K Ordered, in this week or next..
I need to buy speakers (there are sony's here for it, but I want something better quality) and a ps3.

I have a 65" Mitsubishi DLP.

In my old house I could view it from just about any angle becasue there was no direct sunlight to affect it.

In the current set up, the daytime view-ability is less than the 42" LCD it replaced because the DLP is near the windows. Once beyond about 60* from center, it is harder to see things like the game clock during sporting events.

Nighttime there is no noticeable difference.

Every time i've seen one both in store (okay so that's not a great example) or in someone's home (okay so i've only seen like 3 in peoples homes) I always saw a very large difference in viewing angles.

I guess Your Viewing Angle May Very *shrugs*
