Oh of course.

What i hate is people that buy plasmas because they are cheap, and then after like a year of continued use, they start tearing to all hell and they look like absolute shit.

I have a plasma.

I am of the opinion that you should update your TV once about every five years, give or take, and that's about it. I know people who buy a new TV every year, to get the next "high quality" thing, and I find it's just a waste of money.

I was still using a 32" CRT up until two months ago. >.<

I suppose that's reasonable. I had a tiny 13" thing that I had in my bedroom at my dad's house until last October. I never really had the money or the urge to upgrade to anything extravagant before then. Now I have a 32", 780p for the PS3.

The only reason I upgraded, finally, was because movies were starting to look like absolute crap on it. And I wanted to get rid of my entertainment unit, and figured that getting a TV that wouldn't fit in it would be a good way to force myself to chuck it. When I get home I'm gonna take a hammer to it and throw it out.

Go buy an HD projector and clear out a wall

You know you want to.

Nah, those are pricier.

But a friend and I play Rock Band in one of those. Fucking huge notes are fucking huge. :O

It sounds like you have some PS3 ESP.

Okay, but only if I can greet you with a "Welcome, friend! Hail!" message.

I've just been reading conversations between Ray and Ivolt, and watching enough LPs, for long enough to hone my senses I guess.

Agreed.

The shitty cheap ones man.

Not the cool one you probably have.

I only say it because my school has like.. 30-40 all over the campus showing like news and shit, and they are old enough that they are tearing, and it looks like a computer monitor, if you covered it in yarn...

Well.

Ivolt is actually 95% rage, and 5% man.

HDTV is nice, but I don't understand the obsession with spending extra money for the ultrabestquality that exists, when in reality it's just slightly better than the notsohyped models. Unless you're running a cinema or something.

42" 1080p plasma, with full 1080 lines of motion resolution, brah. I figure I may as well get the one I want most if I'm going to buy one, since it's not something I'll be replacing within the next several years.

As for why plasma, better response times/refresh rates, and better blacks. Shitty contrast in the blacks makes me sad.

oh god :/

Makes me wish i had a source for aftermarket LCD screens for laptops.

This one is shitty when it comes to black contrast, and it makes me angry, cause my $100 Asus does wonders.

I couldn't care less.

I was super excited when I first put in GoWIII and saw the amazingness of HD for the first time in a non-Best Buy type of setting, but I quickly got over it. Now I'm just happy to have a TV that I can see from across the room, if I so choose.

Mine is a... umm...

Samsung 42" Plasma 720p HDTV

I think. Pretty sure it's Samsung. This would be so much easier if I was actually at home right now to look at it.

Biggest bother for me is not being able to see all of the picture.

[Milady]

I don't know. Maybe when I get a job this year I'll be more enthusiastic. But I have more important things to upgrade first. Like our apartment and car.

Rage gauge engaged!

Sounds like a deal.

So much beef jerky. Nom nom nom.
