Can you guys post up some pics with your set up? I am painting my room in a few days, so hopefully by nxt weekend I can hang up my new LED TV against the wall. I will post some pics in a few minutes to show you the kind of space I am dealing with.

I absolutely love the picture Samsung gives you. I haven't seen a better picture than the Samsungs yet. That isn't to say there aren't other good quality brands out there either.

The stores mostly don't have an HD source going to them and they always have them in torche mode.

All right fellas, sorry I am a little late but I had some stuff to do.

**rajiv1998** · 07-15-2010, 04:57 PM

As you can see the first pic I have very litte room to work with. I will most likley move that once I paint it and install the TV on the wall. I gave it about 4 inches to breath a bit because the TV gives off some heat and I have a lot of other crap on the table. The TV itself is only 1.2 inches thick. Its a very very low profile TV.

The problem I am stuck with is actually mounting it on the wall. My friend is going to let me borrow his stud finder so I will know for sure where to drill/tap the hole. The only thing I am worred about is drilling the hole for the power cable/box. My HDMI cable is only 6 or 10 ft long. It will be JUST enough. I dont know if it will be enough once I hang it on the wall. I will have to account for a few inches/feet loss while I have to fish it in/out of the wall. Any 1 have any suggestions??

eBay has 25ft hdmi cable for like $12

You can order longer HDMI if needed, fairly cheap online. Stay away from the Monster Hype.

LOL I have a monster. The guy threw it in for quite cheap when I bought my TV from him.

downstairs tv

Does any1 know where to buy an extension for the power cable? Im afraid my power cable will be shorter than my HDMI. Do they sell such a thing? The power cable is JUST enough when it sits on my table so I doubt it will reach once its hung up. Just spent the day painting my room and letting it dry. Second coat goes on tommorow, then the wall mount.
