I like a good balance in sound vs picture, just as I like balance in handling and power in cars.

I am an audiophile, I don't care what movie I watch, the movie sound stage is the first thing I pay attention to.

Picture vs Sound
Alot of people focus on how good picture looks in a TV, but neglect that sound plays a very important role to the whole experience. What kind of ratio do you feel for Picture vs Sound. Would you prefer to have a 1080p TV and blu ray player but using cheap old HT in a box sound? Or are you the other way around?

hd is useless w/o at least 5.1 ... I've noticed the diff in sound quality more and more...for instance ever since I've started watching hockey in hd i can hear some of the sounds on the ice...in a recent pens game I heard Ruutu swearing at at the opposing bench...  ...so yah sound is very important

^I know what you mean man. I think the appreciation of sound will go proportional to the size of your screen, for me at the very least. When I have a 27 inch TV, I wouldn't care less where the conversation or sound effect goes off. Its all from that center screen anyways, but as your screen grows, the effect is so much more appreciatable.

balance.. while picture is hugely important, without good sound it not worth much.. and on the contrary...

I actually forgot 2 other options....
Every dollar spend on sound, put 2 dollar in picture
Every dollar spend on picture, put 2 dollar in sound

Personally since I live in a small apartment, my focus and money will be on picture. At the same time, at 6-8 feet viewing distance my 37" 720p is good enough since the 1080p extra pixels will be negligible at that size and distance.

I guess should have gone for sound - I mean I drive a plastic interior car, so i obviously don't have very high visual standards - but the sound is farging insane

Gotta go balance. Quality screen, quality sound. Having one or the other extreme would just piss me off.
The system my roommate put together in our living room is definitely sound over picture. Although we have a 32" 1080i CRT, the sound is just too big from these speakers.
