Just bought a 55" plasma...


It will be installed tomorrow. To say I'm excited would be a grossly understating it. Hope there's no screw ups with the installation. Since it's being mounted on the wall God only knows where the studs are located!

TV in HD... here I come! :-)

I'm sure your installers know what they are doing. I presume you will have a HD source hooked up to this tv?On finding studs-- Each toggle/or recptical box is mounted to a stud. This could be one side of that box,or the other. Just about all studs are 16 in. apart. Once you get close, a tiny drill bit-I do mean tiny- will get you right on the money. Once you 'hit' the stud,drill holes on each side of 'that' hole. This is to find where the stud begins, and ends--so as to get the middle of the stud,and not the edge.The world of HD is exciting;enjoy your new toy!!
Dweller, my Hitachi does 1080i and HDMI. It was installed today and looks great.
There is a detailed stud finding post on avsforum right now in the plasma section in a thread entitled " Oops pissed off the plasma installer" or something similar. It has had posts through to today FYI.
One thing that is getting annoying is toggling between aspect ratios. When I'm on a non-HD channel I stretch the picture to fill the screen, but when I swith over to an HD station it displays it at Zoom 1 I believe. I want it to automatically convert to Normal 1080 on HD channels.

Any suggestions?

PS - I watched a program called "Equator" on Discovery HD. All I can say is OMG!!! It was like watching IMAX in my house!!!
