Quick question for people who mount their TVs, how easy is it to remove and re-install? I plan to move in a few months, but don't know if I want to actually mount my TV now or just put it on a stand. How "messy" does it leave the wall when it's been removed?
I dug up some older pics from previous setups.
These were obviously taken in different places.
2004 Michigan apartment (no TV shot, but I'm using a 27" Sony CRT with some Klipsch PC speakers for audio)
2005 Japan apartment:
2006 Cincinnati apartment:
(See? I've been doing PC to TV gaming since 06!)
2007 Cincinnati condo:
2012 House (current):
There were changes throughout, of course (changing TVs, receivers, etc) but that's all I had on hand. Kind of fun to look back!

Is than an HMZ-T1?
This made me chuckle. I know, I'm immature.

yes it is. you'll see there was one on my desk too
you should join us in the HMZ-T1 thread if you're interested about it.http://www.abload.de/img/wp_0002146lo0q.jpg it's just to the left of center.
It's pretty awesome, but is difficult to adjust for ones face (it's uncomfortable until you find the right fit).
Very impressive piece of future tech.
If your wall is drywall with wood studs behind it then it's just 4 wood screws into the studs. If you want to move the TV then it's an easy patch and you'll never know it was there. I had to move my uncle's TV down 4 inches because my aunt wasn't happy with the height so I didn't bother patching the holes since they were still behind the TV. If you know how to use a drill you can have a TV mounted in about 5 minutes without trouble.

I have that surround sound system! First ive seen anyone with it. Shame most of my stuff is black now!

I'm almost positive that's an image we ran in EGM for one of Seanbaby's first feature articles. It would have been sometime in the 2000-2003 range. I'll try to look it up when I get home.
Sorry for the bad pics, had to take it with my iPhone .
Last year I upgraded my TV from a Sony 42 inch A10 to a Panasonic 55 ST30 and also mounted the Panny above my fireplace.
I have a Boxee Box, PS3, Wii (in a drawer underneath which has plenty of ventilation), 360, along with an Antenna and a cheap Sony receiver that does HDMI switching that I bought last year.
My roommate (who's moving out and getting married at the end of January owns the 360).
My setup:
Closer look:
Some PS3/PS2/Wii/360 games with some Blu-Rays thrown in.
Image of my couch (I used to have a huge leather sectional and it didn't fit the small size of the living room).
The furniture I largely got second hand.
I really don't like the colors of my place (I bought it three years ago) and have been thinking of painting but what I really need to do is figure out the sound system. I don't want to have wires all over the place and am unsure how I'd set up the front two speakers without making it look badly.

Nice. Reminds me of my room in terms of the layout you have. I also like the orange/black/white color scheme you have. Very unique.

I've been following these threads on here for years now. Finally decided to snap some pics of my setup and figure out how to work these internets.
Here's my current living room setup:
Panasonic TC-P42G10, Onkyo TX-SR605, Oppo BDP-93, fat PS3 40 gig and launch Wii.
I started out in I think 2003 buying a pair of Ascend Acoustics CBM-170s, and added HTM-200s later for my surrounds and centre. Also just upgraded my old Sony sub to a HSU VTF-2 Mk 3.

I like the black shelves above your desk. Where'd you get those?
Sorry for the slow response. Those are "Lack" shelves from Ikea:
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40103751/
Everything in the desk area is from Ikea actually. The desk is a "Galant", the drawer unit is the "Alex", and the shelving is the "Expedit" with "Lekman" inserts for storage.

Nice to see another Ascend user! I've got CMT-340s in the front and CBM-170s for my rears and I love them. I've got them paired with a Denon AVR2112CI and they get plenty loud while still sounding great. Also, nice sub

I swear to god I look forward to seeing what your basement is going to look like every year. It's my favorite part of these threads. There's like constant staples: your basement, reg's cars, Tabris' view. Glorious. LOL

With the doors open:
2008 Setup:

2012 setup:
White BDI TV Stand
Panasonic p54g25

I'm in Canada so the Ascends come with hefty shipping and import fees but they were worth it to me. Thinking of upgrading to CMT-340s across the front as well. Thanks, I do love that sub... especially great for music but games and movies get a little extra kick too.
Edit: Also I just took another look at your setup. Looks very similar to my future plans including the front speakers and pc-to-tv hdmi. Plus nice sub yourself; I thought that beast was a water heater at first glance!

Holy crap, good spot, Olly Moss' art work is phenomenal.
Olly, your posters are some of the best in decades. Can't say enough how cool they are.
It's not a mount, it's the cintiq 24hd which has a more adjustable stand.
And yeah, I've been on Gaf for a while, but I mostly lurk.
Shhh!!!! We keep that a secret round here.
Hit up Ikea and also got a new 70" TV mounted. Black glass top needs to go on top of cabinets and speakers MAY be reduced to a pair of Klipsh B-20s instead. Wife and i havent decided yet since the floor speakers look kinda nice up there (we didnt expect them too) i just stuck em up there for the time being till our new ones come in tomorrow. All controlled by Hamony Link remote that uses our ipad and iphones as remotes and the network in the house, its pretty damn cool and it turns the ipad into a TV guide basically with the app.
Blu-ray collection is in the shelf above TV, it holds 120 and we almost have it full....wife likes movies and collecting the ones she loves.

It really bothers me that the TV is not centered.
