1) Monster power center. A power center should be in every home theater setup. Not only will it protect your equipment from surges and spikes, it also cleans the power and cleans almost everything else, cable, Internet, phone etc.
Upconverting DVD player. If you can not afford Blu-ray at least use one of these. Upconverting DVD players upconvert the resolution of DVD’s (480p) to near HD quality. I say near HD because although these players can output in 1080p all they are doing is expanding upon the standard def. source material. Will they look better than a regular DVD player? Yes. Do they look as good as Blu-ray? No. But if you can not afford Blu-ray at least use one of these low cost players.
2) PS3. If you like gaming and have an HDTV a PS3 is perfect. Not only will you have a nice library of games to choose from but the PS3 adds Blu-ray which will really show off what your HDTV can do, especially if it’s a 1080p TV.
3) 5. 1 or 7. 1 surround sound system. “Sound is 50% of the experience. ” -George Lucas on home theaters. You are not truly experiencing movies unless you upgrade your sound. With the right system it will feel like you are actually in the movie.
4) XBOX 360. If you want a system just for gaming you can not beat the XBOX 360. Bonus points for Netflix streaming.
5) WII. If you have children then your going to need one of these. Just make sure they wear their wrist straps.
6) Western Digital T. V. (HD Media Player). If you have a HD camcorder, digital camera or want a way to play almost any type of movie, picture or audio file on your HDTV, look no further than the Western Digital T. V. box.
7) Blu-Ray player. If you want to really see what your HDTV is capable of, your going to need one of these. Blu-ray is currently the only device that plays back in 1080p and if your HDTV supports it 1080/24p.
you should get a home theatre processing unit. . to decode dts and dolby digital signals, and 8 seperate amps for all your speakers and subs. maybe 9 amps if you want 2 subs. a blu ray player, high def cable box, monster power box, ps3, harmony remote, maybe a computer to store music and browse the internet on your tv.
Once you have a TVG, receiver and speakers/sub you can move on to other devices. A PS3 would be good for Blu-ray playback and games. A Harmony universal remote is a pretty cool peripheral device. You could also check out the APC H15 voltage regulator.
Home theatre PC with a good looking case, wireless keyboard and pc remote control.
LCD message display.
3 or more mini plasma balls, the really small USB powered ones.
Knight rider LED light set.
Harmony Universal Remote with docking station, Niles or Monstor impediance box (speaker selector), DLO HD ipod dock.
