Jealous Much? I actually got it yesterday. Took a half day at work and went to breast buy. You want to talk about some dumb motherfuckers who make Mark Strong look like Einstein...

A. They said there was no way possible the TV would fit in my Sedan. I proved them wrong very easily.

B. Spikey Hair McDouchebag said the 12% off coupon I had for the Reward Zone wouldn't work. Nothing a little talk with the manager couldn't fix. Spikey Hair McDouchebag wouldn't even punch the TV and coupon in together to try it. Fuck, he wouldn't even go back and get the TV to scan it OR manually punch in the UPC code. The manager rung up the TV via UPC and then scanned the coupon and what do you know?! 12% fucking discount!

C. It was very easy to get in, but I had to have my seat all the way up. As Queen pointed out; I am 5'6-5'7 so I normally drive pretty close, but not right up on the steering wheel. It was a fun experience though. Getting it out was a different story.

D. I watched Beerfest in HD last night and the beer looked like 100x better. In terms of picture, it went from looking like Milwaukee's Best to Stella Artois.

E. Played some Xbox 360 on it and Oh my Fucking god. The game Assassin's Creed looks so remarkably good.

If you're not going to mount it, why didn't you go with DLP? You could have gotten a lot bigger TV for the same $$$.

I have a 42" Sammy HD DLP in the living room because I've never had any intentions of mounting it on a wall. I bought a purty stand and called it a day.

I wouldn't say I'm jealous though. I have an InFocus HD Projector and a 90" screen ;)

What happened to that other projector?

SpartanTS

That's the one. It's HD 720p. InFocus SP5000.

One of these days, I'm gonna come to Spartanburg and get my remote. I use my Harmony in my theater room, so I never really had much use for the stock remote.

46" Sony LCD 1080P. Jealous much?

At this point, I think 1080p is useless. Until it goes mainstream to cable/sat, which will be a while, I don't see much of a point, besides having it for bluray/hd-dvd.

But then, who wants to spend $30 for a DVD movie?

And it's better to match your tv/source with its native resolution for the best picture possible, which is another reason why I haven't bought into 1080p yet.

I'll give you $7 shipped for it, if you throw in some TFL stickers.

Sony is the biggest POS there is BTW, their warranty work sucks and everything breaks. Last time I buy Sony anything.

Well, their customer feedback says otherwise.

You want to dip into your 401k for this?

Nah this was with Fed Tax Refund. 401k withdrawl is probably going to be for my dental work. State Refund is going for the couch.

DLPs were too big for my car and I wasn't looking to wait a week for delivery. I'm very impatient.

What's wrong with Milwaukee's Best?

02-16-2008, 09:35 PM
I drank much of it when I was like 16-18. It used to be 6 bucks for a 12 pack of it including tax and bottle deposit. It's def not my beer of choice though.

Busch Light was king when I was underage...9.99 for a 30 pack. Now it is like 13.99

Where I used to work, a kid called Coor's Light, "Cooler's light," he was a ricer, so... retarded. Anyway, Busch Light is what I drank, in college, to get drunk. Although, it would bubble in my gut too much and I'd have to stop drinking it. Michelobe Amber Bock is the best for getting drunk, so dark, no bubbles, yum.

I've been very happy with them, past and present, and found their products to be of high quality.

I'll tell you this much...

Sony had WAY better Customer Service when my Playstation 2 died as opposed to Microsoft when my Xbox 360 died. I told the Indi-Stani fuckers at Microsoft that too.

I like Sony products, but for the money, I rather have Samsung. Same quality and less $$$.

People and 360 issues have been a hit/miss from the get-go. I have a launch 360 and I've never had any issues at all. My only gripe is that when it gets warm, it sounds like a jet is taking off from my a/v cabinent.

I'd like to mod an old wine fridge and put all my sources in there. Sounds like a spring break project...

I would agree, I have a 51 inch rear projection wide screen that I bought 8 years ago and it is still running strong with no issues, ever.

Surprisingly, most of their panels are the same. It's like a Honda Accord and an Acura TL....
