I am working as well today.

 

I heard it was going to snow again, yet when I woke up this morning, I thought were going to get more than we did. Either way, my commute was a good one. Almost nobody on the road = funtimes

 

holy crap thats cheap...

i has a not want to be at work today...

 

I wish I had some booze for mai coffee this mornin...

 

I'd be careful with the "recertified" refurbished tv's that usually go on woot.

I personally wouldn't buy a Phillips 47" when for a few hundred more you can find a 46" Sony W series or Samsung new.

Phillips hasn't been known to make the best LCD's in terms of picture quality & reliability.

 

i just noticed the recertified condition. i wouldnt go there. i still intend on going samsung 32 or 37 lcd. im torn as to 720p vs 1080p tho...

 

Mornin all!!

Add me to the list of a$$holes having to work.

Oh, and how about them Steelers!!!!! I get to see my boys in the Super Bowl yet AGAIN!!!! Woo-Hoo!!!!!!

This is going to be a long two weeks of waiting...

Oh ya...and the turbo kit is still for sale...naturally I had someone back out..like a typical forum b!tch.

 

davids, i d/l like 4 thrice albums last nite. you may have worn me down... hahaha

 

I agree...stay away from recert/refurb! And Paul, as far as 720p vs 1080p, are you serious??? WTF would be the point of buying a 720p TV? If you are going to be spending the money anyways, man up and get the real deal! Don't be a puss!

 

for anything <40" there is absolutely no need for 1080p. I can tell you on my current 27" HD CRT TV 1080i looks like crap - i always run it in 480p instead (no 720 option)

 

1080p is like twice the price of 720p (500 vs 900 for a 32/37"), plus on a smaller tv the res doesnt matter as much. also, i dont even have any hd stuff to hook up to it yet...

EDIT: turcos beat me to the punch

 

ZOMG... ididnt even read yet im so excited...

Morning all!! Anyone not working today??

 

I bought Bella's parents the LN40A550 for $799 shipped! You should still be able to get it around that price...It only has a 20,000:1 contrast ratio and only 2 HDMI (plus only 60hz), but it is a great tv for the money. I love my 650 series though

But, as far as 720p vs 1080p, first off, you need an HD box for even 720p. Second, I have a 36" (I think!) CRT 1080i, and it looks 10 times better in 1080i vs 480p. Granted there is not much difference in picture quality between 720p and 1080i. I agree that you should definitely not spend $900 on that small of a tv. But if you are going 37" or larger, I should think 1080p would make quite the difference...

 

I'm not. Bored as hell at the house, think it's time to go out.
