Hello all, first post on this forum but have been reading and following for a while.
I'm receiving my Samsung LNS4695D today (2hdmi). I also have intentions on signing up to Dish network HD'S Platinum service in which I would connect receiver directly to TV (1 hdmi), and lastly I will be purchasing a playstation 3 the day it comes out (1 hdmi).
Right now, I have VERY little need for a receiver as I live in my parents townhome still and I can't enjoy a nice loud movie and as I read I see that receivers are not completely up to par with full HD in terms of passing through 1080p or bluray discs.
With my upcoming setup should I just wait till I move out early next year and give the receiver market a chance to catchup to the HD market (ie: 1080p, hdmi 1.3), or is it still recommended anyways to get a receiver and have it connected in the meantime. I was thinking in terms of the yamaha 2700...or the new STR-DA5200ES which Im seeing supports 1080p. I think I might be confused in terms of what I need the receiver to do for me, because I think the issue is upscaling which im not sure on. But I do intend to have the ps3 play blu-ray dvd's hopefully as they come down in price. (I'm looking more into future and worried less about the present right now, thats why I bought/buying th equipment I did)
any tips and advice would be appreciated.
