Make it a part of a basic home theater system with the following extras:

For the Samsung options:

Samsung BP1500 Blue Ray Player
Dolby Digital Receiver
5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 speaker kit
HDMI Cables
Fiber Optic Cables

For the Sony options:

Sony BDP350 Blue Ray Player
Dolby Digital Receiver
5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 speaker kit
HDMI Cables
Fiber Optic Cables

Both Samsung and Sony also offer a theater in a box option that includes all the components necessary, however, the DVD player is integrated into the receiver. If the DVD becomes inoperable, you may have to invest in a whole new system.


Special note from the expert: “HDTVs have fantastic picture quality capabilities; however, they are only as good as the signal which is supplied. You could have the best television in the world, but if you connect it to a VCR or a non-HD source, you will be disappointed.”
