Well that's creepy.
Sleazy passed away in his sleep at about 10am this morning, under my desk where he used to always like to nap and hang out while I worked. So I buried him up neat the bird feeder in the garden which was his 2nd favourite spot, waiting to maul the local pigeons.
Don't think we'll get any more pets for a while :(
Well, aside from the 2 budgies and several hundred goldfish but they're not quite the same. |
That ing sucks.. :(
Awesome he got to go in his favourite spots tho, nobody can get better than that! :) |

i could care less about power consumption. i want a TV that looks great, and has actual BLACK on it. i don't want to see grays, i want pitch black darkness. i want sharp/clarity.
i don't want to see grayed/motion blurring, which i've noticed on all plasmas/lcd's but never on LED's. |
Not to crap all over your parade, but plasmas have much better blacks, handle motion better (unless you're a huge soap opera fan, or buy a Sunbrite), and are cheaper.
Hope you enjoy the set, but...yeah... |

Yeah, he doesn't deserve a plasma--just for that. |

I bought a Panasonic plasma back in about 2004 for what was then a veritable fortune, it died and got replaced with a high end HD Samsung LCD for my office and a HD Sony LCD Bravia for the living room.
There is no difference.
The only people that notice the difference are probably wearing anoraks and get inordinately overexcited by the prospect of boring anyone who will listen about technical things.
"Aww gee, you should have bought the Wang 5000 model with eleventy megafluxes of lumens if you really want a good picture looking at it crosseyed at a 120 degree angle" |

Truth is that most people really don't care. However, why buy something that experts [however frivolous that title may be in this case] consider inferior?
I don't care about what type of oil is in my car, but if all of you car nuts say there's a clearly superior choice for a negligible premium, I'm not going to pick something else. |

It the sound a broken plasma TV makes when you drop it on someone.

Im all for an educated opinion on something, but my goodness the amount of sheer crap surrounding the whole LCD/Plasma TV thing when I went shopping around for them was literally, layers of abject technical crap and then buried under even more layers of advertising crap. To the point, go to the store and see what works best next to one another was really the only valid comparison I could literally see. |

Yeah, the lcd/led/plasma debate might have more unfiltered BS than just about anything in electronics. Hell, HDTVs, as a whole, are full of more smoke & mirrors than I can even address. The first time I saw a Samsung TV boasting a "4,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio," I literally laughed.
In a perfect world, looking at two sets side-by-side is the best way to judge them. The problem is, salespeople & manufacturers jack with settings, source material is sub-par, lighting conditions vary across a large store, and what looks best at quick glance might not be what looks best for extended viewing at home. The guys who evaluate picture quality (not TV quality) are the ones with the worthwhile info.
I typed up a whole run-down of the differences, but realized it was futile and would be met with 'here's an article that says LEDs actually do [x] better' responses or [even more] tl;dr.
c0r version: Plasmas are better and cheaper. Ignore all numbers, acronyms, reviewers who discuss pedestals or remotes, and salespeople. |
