$1612 worth of stimulation to be exact, and not that kind :bunnythrust: of stimulation either.

Since I pissed off the last digital TV deadline and it look like the gov'ment a'int going to give me another reprieve I figured it was time to suck it up :glare: and get me on of them new fangled digital TVs.

I've had my eye on several models but I didn't end up getting any of them. What I got was a 46in Mitsubishi LT-46244 (http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/mitsubishi-lt-46244/4505-6482_7-32450664.html).

Very nice set and larger than I was really looking for (37-42in) but the price was right, the specs meet my requirements and the picture was gorgeous. I take possession on Saturday.

So, that's where I'm supposed to take this piece of junk!

Thanks!

They're arrogant, criminal scum who like to add rootkits to their products.

Well I did consider a Sony Bravia 40" TV. It was slightly more money than the one I bought, but damn it produced a stunning image.

As for the rabbit ears, I didn't think my $5 (or whatever they cost) pair would be sufficient for reception so I had to pick up an antenna as well.

What's wrong with Sony?They're an international mafia of capitalist running dogs and lackeys of bloodsucking neo-imperial parasites.

That said, most of their products that I've used are pretty good, compared to competing brands I've tried.

Yeah but their tv's really do have the best picture. :giggles:

You going to get a blu-ray next, Z? I highly recommend it!

Probably some time in the near future.

Not sure we could all fit in my tiny 1br apartment, but sure. :popcorn:

At the risk of pissing off all the anti-Sony crusaders, the best Blu-Ray player on the market is the PS3.

A lot of people have said this.

I'm not a rabid Sony hater, but since I have a 360 already I don't really need/want another game system. Especially one that I probably will never play.

The pricing for the lower end (i.e. smaller HDD, no backwards compatibility with PS2 games) PS3 is in the same neighborhood as the comparable Blu-Ray players from Toshiba or Panasonic. I've played exactly one game on mine (to be fair, I would have played more if I hadn't fucked up and bought the non-backwards compatible model, leaving my old games to rot on the shelf since my PS2 died).
