Post The most ghetto HDTV setup ever.

Went out lastnight and did some shopping at the mall for the Xbox360, I picked up DOA4 and an fiber optic cable so I finally use Dolby Digital. I stopped by Sears to take a look a their TV's and the Sony Wega 34 inch HDTV caught my eye. I have read revews on it before and really hven't noitced anything bad about the TV so I decided to pick one up. When I got home I noticed something quite odd, I had no place to put the damn thing. The TV is so heavy (close to 200 pounds) that it would flip the cabnet that my 19inch Sanyo sits on. My dad told me jus tot leave it in the box until we could find a stand for it. Did I lidsten to him, nope. I decided to go ahead and set it up anyway, so here I am with a brand new $1200+ TV sitting on the floor while I play Xbox360.

The optic cable was only like 10 bucks for a 9 ft. section. What sucks though is that I will end up using my Acoustic Research 3 ft. cable. It is weird though, the 360 cable (made by mad catz) basically feel like an RCA cable. While the AR cable is nothing but foam around glass wire.

No sometimes if I want to keep my door open all the way I need to something to hold it back form closing. I could get all fancy and **** and install a mangetic door holder but the duck works just fine.
