1. What is the best method of signal input, I see they have hdmi, component, etc.
2. Do I need a home theater package?
3. Do I need a power conditioner?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!
Answer:
To protect your tv from any power surge, I recommend you get some type of surge protector to plug your tv in. Home theater package is an option. If you want to get a blu ray disc player then if would be good in getting yourself a receiver instead of a home theater in a box. They are not very flexible in adding other equipment to it or for upgrading. When one item break down the whole system goes. The best cable to use is the HDMI cable, it will carry the video and audio signal in one cable. Cable or disc network provider can be upgraded to HD. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on all equipments that might interest you. Hope this will help you out.

1. You will def. want to put your new t.v. on a surge protector in order to protect it from overvoltages.
2. You don't need a home theatre package, it isn't necessary.
3. The best signal is probably from a hdmi cable (they are expensive, especially the very nice hdmi cables). Component is very good as well. The best though is through a dvi cable through your computer and or a vga cable. Computers offer the best resolution and highest pixel rating out of any.
Congrats on getting a nice new t.v.
1. HDMI
2. You need Bluray DVD only way to get high quality video. Surround sound adds to the enjoyment.
3. No. State power is very well controlled. In the event of a disaster such that you get a mains power surge that causes damage the power company is liable. (In Australia) I am aware of an incident when a 4.4Kv line fell onto the 240V line people’s equipment was damaged/destroyed claims were taken care off by the power company
yup always use surge protection, I have my tv plugged into a phillips power bar/surge protector
and have my antenna grounded with a spacelab surge protector for my coax as a backup.
HDMI. And your source must also be high definition (HD). You can now buy HD media players and play HD movies or shows that can be purchased online.
