I had to tear down my gym while we were putting in the new windows so the crew could put the windows in (which look good, they did a great job!). I’ve put the gym back together now.
A big part of the setup though was a new gym theater. In preparing for some new Christmas gear (for some munkins in our house), I put in a new TV. I got a Philips 42″ LCD 1080p TV. It’s got a nice picture and works in a bright room. My gym has a lot of windows and they are almost always open (the blinds I mean though the windows sometimes are open too) so it is a usually bright in both winter and summer. I also replaced the receiver with Onkyo TX-SR605 which supports HDMI 1.3 and lots of audio formats so is a good receiver for the price. The room also has a Sony upscaling DVD player and a Tivo HD DVR.
It’s a great system for watching my shows and movies while I’m working out. It will also be great for the family with the new gear which I’ll have a post after Christmas – keep a look out.
