Pretty quiet forum here. That's OK. I got a lot of help on my favorite astronomy forum. I'm all set to go.

I hope they gave you good advice! $1000 for the flat screen TV with smart streaming. $150 for a Blue Ray player. You may have to get a sound bar with what little remains though.
I'm going to try to get by with about $800 for the TV. I think I can be quite happy with a good unit in the 50" class. Prices on the 1080 sets could drop further in the next couple of months as the 4K stuff makes it to market.
Thanks!
I got sick of the awful sound set-up at my daughter's house and so bought her a sound bar for Christmas. I got her a vizio 5.1 that actually sounds pretty good. this one sells for about $300 and has surprisingly good sound. This one lets you get by without buying a lot of speaker cabling or a receiver, letting you put more of your budget into the TV and Blueray player. I strongly recommend that you spend an additional $60 on a lifatec glass cable to run fro the TV to the Vizio, and a high-quality HDI cable such as the $165 version from Mapleshade.
Good luck.
Everything is going to the dogs
Thanks for the soundbar recommendation. In another post, I've mentioned that I've decided to go with separates unless I can be convinced otherwise.
I think the receiver is important for us because of the microphone based sound level self-tuning that it can do and the dynamic range control to help control extremely loud sound effects and annoying commercials. Actually, I wasn't even aware that I could operate without one.
I'll have to research cables more, but they can be upgraded after the initial install.
Thanks!
