Looking forward to the other pix. Me too! As silly as it sounds, its as fun to share the outcome as it is to read others. Come on, someone else start a build thread. My 15 minutes are up! Lol. Where is Strangequark? Matt how 'bout you?

Wow. That looks beautiful. Looking forward to the other pix. Annoyingly beautiful. Can't even say anything smartassed about it. Nice Job. It must be satisfying to see it all come together.

I agree, we need another build started by someone.
Can't wait to see the final photos.

If you saw the state of mess that mine is in. There is nothing like yours so I'd rather tuck tail and hide in shame. I did get my Panasonic working with Netflix. (then proceeded in 4 days to almost max out the bandwith allocation for the month with a some House of Cards 2-3 episode marathons. That 4k tv sure does eat up your bandwidth. The hard part with the 4K TV is it's hard to really say if the picture quality is better than 1080. It's not like I can do a blind test as I have 2 TV's in different rooms, as well as they are different sizes. The picture quality on the new Panasonic puts what we were happy with on the Samsun 46D6450 to shame. But as it upconverts everything a 1080p source us upressed to 4K and looks great. I don't have any video in both 4k and 2k to do an A/B test on the TV. House of Cards season 1 was all in 1080, and season 2 onwards is in 4k. I can't really say that there is a mind-blowing difference between picture quality of the two seasons. The TV can also do HDR when the next or some future firmware comes out. I think they were waiting for the Ultra HD Blu-ray standard to be released and the players to come out. I think that will be in December from what I have read. The panel is 10bit and is has 98% DCI colour space but I don't think it's the quantum dot to reach into the newer REC2020. I have to get some more of the wall covers finished on the back around the TV. I have a panel that I have to install to cover the water meter and shutoff. Figured out how I will do it, just not got around to it. When it starts to look more pretty, I will consider posting some photo's

Just as long as you can figure out how to get this darn ATI card to play nice with the 4k TV. Still trying to figure out how to control the overscan so I can see the missing 1.5" on the left and right side of the screen. Nothing quite like when the start menu and option bar are hidden by a screen overscan to the sides.

Serenity - This is a terrific read, and your room looks like a great place to spend a few thousand nights watching movies and enjoying adult beverages. Well done!

Thanks very much guys! It is as much a relief to be finished as it is enjoyable. Last Saturday I did..... Nothing! It was glorious. Very wierd to have my weekends back. Pics will be a few days I'm guessing, but hang tight. Gonna hand the keys to Matt and he'll take us for a drive on his adventure. . He's already in story mode. Keep going.

Glad you enjoyed the slog, Craig. Hope others enjoyed it too (instead of working, I hope. )
