the cables etc when you do decide what to get.


Its not that hard for home cinema. The only thing you need on the wall
is the screen and the centre speaker. You then use HDMI to connect to an
AV amp and some T&E for the speaker and a mains lead.


Far too simple. It is generally easier to route all your sources through
the TV and then feed to the AV amp.


You must be joking.

Most displays require the audio to be
delayed and a decent TV will do this for you.


So will a good AV amp, and there is data in the HDMI data put out by the TV
to suggest how much to do it by.

In any case the audio wont be coming from the TV, it will be the master
audio from the blueray player or the DD from other sources, it need
(should!) never go anywhere near the TV.
