Looks cool!

Cool. I've decided that it is about time to upgrade our TV (which is experiencing some oddities) but that I'll be perfectly happy with a 26" rather than one of the huge ones (I've never lived in a place with a room big enough to sit far enough away from a 56" TV).

But I'm still balking at the $800-$1000 price tag. I came very close when I got a bonus at work a few weeks ago but couldn't pull the trigger.

I am SO glad I got the chance to climb it many years ago. It was sweaty and smelly and like climbing an oven, but it was awesome.

I think I'm going to wait until DLP w/LED catches on and lowers in price. I've always found DLP to have the best picture

rice ratio and if the LED thing catches on it mitigates one of DLP's biggest drawbacks (bulb life and replacement cost).

Even though this TV is big, width-wise, it takes up less space than our old 35" TV, which had a huge 'ass' and stuck out from the wall a great deal. Eric used his bonus to get it, and as much as we watch movies and play video games I figured it was worth it. Does take some getting used to, though, and I haven't figured out all the different viewing screens, etc.

here is the model we got, but since we got it at Costco it was about $800 less than this site is charging, and we got the stand as well.

Oooh, nifty, LCOS (sort of a hybrid between LCD and DLP).

I am clueless as to what it is, beyond it not being a plasma. (I like the look of the plasma TV, but too many disadvantages to it). We ran LOTR's on it last night, and it really looked great!

I'd get a flat screen, but my Winky-Dink sheets won't fit.

I detect a business opportunity

So, anyone know anything about Salem, OR and whether it would suck to live there for at least a year?

Brigitte · 03-02-2007, 02:42 PM

You'd be closer to Disneyland. You'd be a potential stop off point when we do the drive down. You'd be used to the climate already, at least all of what I've seen of Salem.
