At my house, we just finished the room over the garage and are making it a home theater entertainment room. We are planning on buying this[1] tv, but after that it is kind of up in the air. As far as receivers go, we are planning on getting this[2] one, but I learned that can only convert analog to HDMI if the tv can display content at a 480i resolution, and I don't know if the one I choose can.

So, boiled down, I have these questions:
1) Is the TV the best choice, with picture quality as the first concern?

2) Will the receiver work with, or would a better one work better?

3) What speakers should I get?

4) Can I plug a computer, an Xbox 360, a comcast cable box, and maybe a dvd player into the reciever and have everything work with sound and only have one connection to the TV?

1.)The TV is a good choice. There is no such thing as the best when it comes to a lot of goods. The best is subject to the person using the term.

2.)The receiver will work and I believe is a very good receiver.

3.)What is your budget for the speakers?

4.) Yes, all it takes is know-how and by reading all the instruction manuals.
