Graham,
A year ago I moved from a TV, VCR, DVD Player, CD
Player, Set top box and cable nightmare to a Mac
Mini, EyeTV and a 26" Samsung screen. These three
items (if you count the EyeEV as an item)
replaced the previous 5 big boxes, and allows me
to do so much more than before such as HD
viewing, repeating interesting bits, time
shifting, editing, burning CDs and DVDs, and
ordinary computing if I wish.
I will never go back to anything else.
The only thing I am going to add is a good
amplifier for better sound. I already have a pair
of good speakers, and don't much care for 5
speaker setups.
I have a colour calibrator that I use to
calibrate the screen. Visitors comment how good
the colours look on my monitor. Also the high
resolution of the Samsung monitor makes others'
big TV screens look bad,even if you sit some
distance from them
Hi All,
I'm wanting to ditch the old TV and move to a more computer-centred
home audio/video experience. Either, simply buy a moderate size
Monitor that can connect to my laptop (G4 Al. 17") and also accept AV
input from Video Recorder - (for TV). Or perhaps buy a mac mini to
use as dedicated audio/visual unit and connect to monitor as above.
Or move into the Digital TV era, with either powerbook or new mac mini
and some kind of eyeTV device?.
I assume others have recently been down these various paths and would
appreciate any advice that they may have.
I'm in the geraldton area, get really good TV reception on all
available channels with existing on-roof ariel - if this is relevant
for digital reception
Cheers,
Graham
