One of the best purchases in my life: 65" Plasma TV
 

Watched the "Predators" blu-ray torrent last night.

Life is good :glugglug

Well, while I really enjoy my 60" Sony I hardly think it would rank anywhere close to one of the top purchases of my life. It must be the additional 5".

white trash

Fascinating

I only have a 42" and a 32" tv. They are the LAST things I care about. I use the 42 to watch the Leafs, the Phillies (go Doc!) and I play Red Dead Redemption on it every now and then.

I'd be just as happy with a little 20" crt. Big screen doesn't help my teams win!

I bought a full hd projector for $2k, and a screen for $200. 240inch screen and looks damned good too

I don't think they make 240 inch screens for home use. Mine is 120'' and its already one of the biggest. From what I know, the biggest which uses a motor.

Don't rain on his parade.

A friend of mine had a projector and simply used a blank wall as a screen...worked pretty decently.

I love my samsung bluray player that streams netflix. for $130 I would say dollar for dollar best invest I ever made.

i've been stuck at 42" for many years, and don't even watch TV all that often so its in the OFF mode more often than not :)

I prefer movies on the 500" screen at the theatre :D

Congrats on getting the blue-ray torrent.

Got a 40 inch LCD, use it only for Modern Warfare 2 (PS3) and watching HD movies and series.
As I sit only 1.5 meters from the TV, it is more than enough...
By the way I think I will cancel my TV subscription...

I had though about buying the projector, but they are only good in very dark rooms.

Amazing how some people in this business bitch about piracy then torrent movies. You couldn't afford $26?

ACTA has me scurrrred. I've been torrenting 5-10GB a day for the last week or so. Anything and everything I can get my hands on. Mostly TV episodes and movies. Stockpiling for the piracy apocalypse.. :1orglaugh

The movie was shit.

What you didn't like Doctor Eric Forman wandering through the forest with a scalpel?

50" is quite enough for me. Unless my apartment would be WAY bigger I'd need bigger then too :D

I thought predators was actually a half decent movie :-)

plasmas aren't as good as LCDs and they consume much more power.

Errr sorry, 240cm not inch

yup.. got a 65 plama. great investment for me. no torrents though

Hey guys, whats the best quality blu rays out there?, ive ordered many on amazon and some are done in a very cheap way, the best picture quality i've gotten so far its with the Earth documental and the blue man group blu ray, the rest is all shit, what do you suggest?

So you could afford a 65" plasma, but not a $30 movie?

eh...my 50 incher is getting old...but still does the job

I have a full hd projector and I love it! In AZ I had a 106" fixed screen but my apartment is smaller so I have a custom made 92" that is very nice for the size of the living room.

love mine as well

:thumbsup SAME HERE!!! :)

Now This Is A Good Post!!! :pimp

I love my 52" LCD HDTV. DirecTV high definition tv channels look great on it. I don't like plamsas though. They are like looking at tv through a glass window rather than looking directly at the picture elements on an LCD, which looks so much crisper to me. Plus my HDTV also works great as a monitor for my P4 media server when playing local video files or streaming internet videos.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh...

42" here but don't really need any bigger. TV is shit anyway so i hardly watch anything as it is, usually only sports...

I have a projector and after seeing it in 1080p blu ray i will never go back to a TV again.

Projectors are where it is at. They smoke TVs.

Imax only for me. I can watch any other 'romance' or series on my 37" palsma, still regret I spent $700 for it, should have stayed with "21 LCD.

'Little' things that make our life more enjoyable :)

Plasmas are much better for watching movies.

On LCDs, motion blur is really bad (sports and fast paced movie scenes)

led all the way.

I watch almost all tv /movies on my iMac now. Although its only 27in i'm sitting pretty damn close haha. I might need to pick up some external speakers for it.

my e-penis is 15"

Mitsubishi 73" Diamond series, Bose Lifestyles 35 and a Blue Ray mail delivery movie subscription to Blockbusters 3 at a time Blue Rays for $19 a month.



No need to steal or download Torrents. Get all the Blue rays i want at a reasonable price every month.

blew all his money on the tv but can't afford a bluray or even the rental cost


congrats though...people who say "oh thats too big, never watch it anyway" just have TV envy

it's not about money or rental costs. it's just so much less hassle to fire up torrent client and have the movies auto-loaded to your NAS.

I still have a 27" tv. The big ones, not a flat panel.

I don't watch that much tv.

did you stop the train? :)

My Sharp Aquos LCD doesn't even have top of the line specs and I still don't notice any motion blur. True, I don't watch a lot of sports except for MMA, but everything in movies and regular tv shows looks good to me.

no on demand in your area?

Also know as one of the worst movies ever attempted to be ported over to bluray

I've got a plasma and and an LED, the LED just looks a little fake because it's almost too clear looking. I prefer the look of plasma, it looks sharp but still natural. It's a personal preference though.

156 torrents in queue...

72" TV's are like $2,300 now, priced less than the 65" used to be.

Catch up man, catch up.

Anyway, back to my console with rabbit ears.

You have me beat by 10 inches.


I can not imagine being even remotely excited about buying a tv.
It must be the extra 16 inches
