I have an alcove in the wall, as I used to have a CRT TV, but now I have a pretty 42" Sony Bravia. The PS2 is just under the TV, squeezed in their thanks to it being the slimline on. The PS3 is on its end next to the TV, at 45 degrees so that I can see the PlayStation 3 written across it. The Xbox 360 is on its on stand to the side in front of the wall to ensure their is no blockage of air passages

How is the Bravia?

I was thinking of getting one this year, or a Samsung.

 

They are same TVs...Bravia will be more expensive tho but both have screens that are made by Samsung.

^ But Isnt the Bravia engine a good feature?



Not really. Samsung DNIe is better in my opinion.

They are quite similar actually but usually you get higher contrast ratio for less $$ on samsung TVs. Compare the same models side by side...

Also its a toss up which 120 hz stabilizing technology you like more. I preffer the Samsung one by a mile...but some say that it makes movies look like home made videos and they preffer the Sony (or Sharp).



Well I am very happy with my Bravia. It is a W4500 (UK model) so it may be a different model elsewhere. Anyway, I think it looks fantastic and it has an XMB! It also has Bravia sync and DLNA, but I have not worked out how to use these yet



Bravia's are sexy, especially the ones shown at CES 09

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

My PS3 is horizontal on my HDTV downstairs. My brother has the 360 and I believe it's horizontal aswell.
