Me too.

I just set up a polk 7.1 system: RTiA7s tower fronts, CSIA6 center, FXiA6s surrounds, RTi4s rear surrounds, HSU VTf12 sub...powered by my Yamaha RX A-2010, and displayed on my 70" LED.

Just got the speakers and wires in wall a few days ago and I'm calibrating.

It makes me drool to finally have a decent rig.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

For basic movie playback, they're all about the same.

If you were into leading edge tech, you'd want to make sure it had the latest codecs (like Dolby Digital plus and True HD), and some fancier options like 24p playback, but it sounds like you need basics. Amazon has an LG for $59.99 that would probably fulfill your needs.

I'm not aware of a BDP that doesn't offer Dolby True-HD/DTS-HD. OP didn't mention a sound system so the Dolby True-HD/DTS-HD is inconsequential, and if OP knew of 24p and what it does (no offense to OP) he probably wouldn't have made this thread in the first place. Just assumptions on my part but probably relevant.

Yeah, I don't know any of that :lol:

.

I picked out the only Panasonic one in Wal*Mart (which had Wi-Fi), but decided to wait to check out other stores if I like the look of another one more. Wasn't bad looking at all, but yeah. No need to rush. I saw inexpensive surround system packages (100 something), but the Panasonic one was 300 something. Wasn't intending to look at them when I got there, nor is it a big deal to me to get.
