You Guys Are Stupid!!!

[Amber Lamps]

Anybody that thinks that picture size or quality "doesn't matter" is completely nuts!!! My new TV fucking rocks!!! You are all delusional and have a serious case of "sour grapes"!!! I can totally tell the difference between this TV and my last TV. The clarity is superb and there is zero "motion blur"! Plus the "red crawlies" are gone. Don't get me started on how good PS3 games and Blu-Ray movies look...:rockwoot:

You know what? I bet you cheap fuckers don't even have a Harmony remote either. That's another must have item! Type in the info on all of your electronics, plug the remote into your computer and tada all set! Man oh man, you tight wads don't know what you are missing!!!

[Trip]

not everyone needs the best TV or a remote that does everything. If you occassionally watch a movie or sports event and just barely watch TV just a sitcom/series here or there. Buying a $2000-3000 TV is not the wisest investment if you do other things more frequently. Plus, blowing all your money on toys is for fools. Like welfare recipients who go out and buy smokes/alcohol instead of food for their kids.

It doesn't matter to a nonaverage TV user. If they don't watch it all that much, it's not something they really give a second thought to when they occasionally do watch it.

[derf]

What is this motion blur or red crawlies thing you speak of? I'm looking at my TV trying to figure it out

Iride ijeep ido , what's a tv?

[HurricaneHeather]

Yeah....if I spent all of my time playing video games or watching tv shows I'd care that much too.

But I just don't.

Hell, we still have the tube tv my husband bought for himself as a teenager as our only tv. It's 11 years old and still cranking. It shows the 2 hours worth of sitcoms that we watch a week just fine. :dthumb:

The bigger you go, the more the picture quality makes a difference. I hate watching regular tv on my 46". I will watch a rerun on HD before I will watch something new on regular tv in most cases.

My gf and I would be rocking my 19" projection thingy from 6 or so years ago if not for space issues. And even if we get an apartment with a decent size living room it'll have a $1000 pool table in it before it has a $3000 tv plus crazy sound system (which I doubt apartment neighbors would enjoy)

But hey, if video games are your thing then more power to you. Me, I'm a cheapy on electronics. I have a $14 4gb MP3 player from Brandsmart that I use for running or even just listening to music. It doesn't have a screen so it's like an Ipod shuffle minus a hundred dollars or so. My downfall is I'm not a cheapy with my main hobbies such as mountain biking, triathlons, etc. Though with those hobbies, cheaping out can cause injuries from bad equipment.

Who said picture quality doesn't matter? The only thing I remember people saying was that 1080 isn't necessary for most people.

I hear ya Tigger.

Especially on the Harmony remote. I will never go back. I have 2 of them in the house. Only way to go.

[Rangerscott]

I'm waiting on 5080P. Losers with their 1080P.


I love how most people think that "high definition" just came out. HD has been around for a long time. My 199X Packerd Bell's monitor was "HD." Any resolution over 720x480 is HD.

[Amber Lamps]

Who said picture quality doesn't matter? The only thing I remember people saying was that 1080 isn't necessary for most people.

Yeaaaaa.... but 1080, 720, 480 is tied to the picture quality...:lol: If you have access to HD programing or Blu-Ray discs and you don't have a HD TV... well, you are a fool!!! :lol:

I'm telling you, the picture on this TV is 100x better than on my old TV.

Yep! Every time I go into a house and I see 4+ remotes on the coffee table I think, "What, don't have $39?"... The 5 device Harmony 510 is $39 at Best Buy and the 12 device 520 was $49 at Radio Shack just recently.:idk:

[marko138]

Tigs, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with you. I don't watch a ton of tv, I dont play video games, but when I do I want the best picture possible. Shit, I dont even have cable or satellite. But the shows in primetime look pretty fucking good on my tv. 1080p Plasma. I know you dick lickers take a shit on whatever it is you dont have, but I like my plasma and it was fucking expensive when I bought it. Yes, it's hot. Yes, it uses a ton of electricity. I dont care.

Now this Harmony remote...I dont have one. But at 39 bucks I can't think of a good reason not to now. THanks for that tip, homie.

Shit, I dont even have cable or satellite. But the shows in primetime look pretty fucking good on my tv. .

I'm assuming you have a powered external antenna of some kind?

[Particle Man]

I still don't have a flat-screen TV - I don't spend enough time watching TV to justify it and I live in one of the few areas where there is no cable and I don't feel like fighting with a dish.

You do know it takes about a 120" TV for the normal human eye to be able to see a real difference between 1080i and 1080p. The differences you think you are seeing between the two comes from other factors like contrast and speed. 720p on a great TV is about all you really need in picture size, having better other factors is more important.

[z06boy]

Nice TV no doubt...I must have missed the thread that spurned this one though. :?:

We enjoy and have zero issues with our Samsung 46" LCD...no it's not an LED but it sure rocks. We have BluRay as well and enjoy it.

I even like my little 20" in the garage...it's also hooked up to DirecTV. Tig do you have a TV in your garage...I mean you do have a garage right ? :nee: :lol:

Oh yeah...I don't have a Harmony remote so I may have to look into that...there is 4 or 5 remotes on my table right about now. :rofl:

[goof2]

A quick note on the Harmony remotes. Yes they work well and remove a lot of remote clutter but if you are using a PS3 for your bluray player it will not work without an additional adapter (MSRP $59).

[the chi]

Where are you finding this remote for $39? Im looking and the lowest I found was $59 so far...including Best Buy Website.

[Homeslice]

To me the Harmony thing makes sense only if you just bought all your gear. But if you've had your shit for quite some time and you're already familiar with your remotes, why waste time learning & setting up something new.

i was debating between that sumsung and the LG 55" LED, and went with the LG for the matte screen, and back lit (over edge lit) technology. it is fucking beautiful.

Before I married I didn't have a TV and my dad bought me a little 17". I put it in the closet. :lol:

He just bought me a 40" Samsung flat screen something or other because I wasn't going to have a TV in my new place now either. This TV is for my son to watch, otherwise it would be in the closet too. I'm not sure why people that don't like or watch TV make other people uncomfortable.

Dude, go to your screen settings on your computer and change them between 720 and 1080 and tell me there isn't a difference. As far as 1080i and 1080p goes, I never mentioned any difference between them and agree that most programming is CURRENTLY not supporting 1080p BUT supposedly, a TV is a purchase that you make only every few years. Why not buy with the future in mind?:idk:

Did I mention that I can watch YouTube videos on my tube without a computer (LAN or wireless-with adapter)? +Flicker. +a bunch of other shit!:lol: Okay did I mention that it has USB ports so I can hook up card readers, thumb drives, portible HDs, cameras, camcorders, cell phones, etc....:lol:

You all know that I'm just fucking with you and trolling right?:lol: Seriously, the picture is much better than on my 46'' LCD.

Okay, I just got off the phone with a manager from Radio Shack and he says that you can get a Harmony 520 for $50 but you'll have to go into a store and have it shipped in. The thing is that it's a 2006 model but all you have to do is go to Logictech's website and download the new software and you'll have a 510 that controls 12 devices. If you want me too, I'll get it for you, program it and send it to you and you can pay me back, Rae-Rae.

Mine works great and any function that doesn't automatically come on the remote can easily be programmed. Like how I had to program a button for "Internet TV". Let me know, pumpkin.

I spend alot of my time with a Sony Bravia fanatic. He has 9 in his main house. Man the things are fantastic....

One button press turns on your TV and sets the correct input, turns on your receiver and the correct input, and turns on your satellite/dvd player. Even replaces the remote for your thermostat, ceiling fan, lighting...

It's intuitive enough to use it doesn't take much (any, really) time to learn how to use it.

Thank you! Think about it... You want to watch a DVD, so you pick up your TV remote and turn the TV on and put it on "Input 1". Then you pick up your receiver remote, turn it on and put it on "input 1". Then you pick up your DVD remote and turn it on and press play.

I hit "Play a DVD" and BOOM, I'm watching a movie!

What, the movie is over and you want to watch cable? Okay, so you pick up the DVD remote and turn it off. Pick up the TV remote and put it on "Input 2". Pick up the receiver remote and put it on "Video 2". Pick up the Cable remote, turn it on and watch TV.

I hit "Watch TV" and BOOM, I'm watching TV...ETC, ETC, ETC....:lol:

Fuck, if it were up to you, we wouldn't have wheels! Most every invention was conceived to eliminate work to some degree. Shit, why have remotes at all? If you're trying to not be lazy, get off your fat ass and change the channel. If you're going to use a remote anyway, why not have one that does everything you need it to?:lol:

Yeah, every piece I have came with a "universal remote". Only problem is none of them are truly universal. And when people come by to house-sit or the in-laws drop by and want to do something simple like watch TV, I'd have to watch their eyes glaze over by the time I got to "use this remote to...".

And none of the remotes that came with A/V pieces control ceiling fans, lighting, and thermostats.

A guy at work just had the training for it and he couldn't believe the difference when they showed him two tvs. One was done the other was just out of the box. He couldn't believe it. He said the thought it was bs but he said it would be something he would pay for now to have done (if he wasn't going to be able to do it himself after the training). He couldn't believe it. I have yet to see one that has been done.

Search the Net for the optimum settings for your particular model - chances are, someone out there has already calibrated and recorded the settings somewhere. I found the optimum settings for my Panasonic on a HDTF site and I'm very happy with the picture.

I've heard about this calibration and I believe that it involves more than just the settings....:idk: I'll call Samsung and check into it.

Calibration is nothing more than adjusting your settings to achieve the desired optimum result.

But why listen to me, we're all stupid?

[LeeNetworX]

Example of what you can find out there:

http://www.tweaktv.com/tweak-my-tv/calibration-guide/samsung-pn50a550.html

This is a good start - you can use suggested posted settings for a given set (such as these) and fine tune the settings to your liking. In the end, it's up to the viewer to decide what looks best.

Some of them are, some of them are worth it. You just got to weigh the price vs the reward. They had good ones and bad ones at Best Buy. Just depends on what level of confidence you have in the equipment you are buying, that should also tell you if you even should buy the equipment at all. Believe it or not I have a warranty on my BMW and it has paid off for me already.


Calibration they are refering to is just adjust the settings (contrast/brightness/colors) to get the best color/picture. I am surprised you don't know this since you are so knowledgable on electrical devices.

[Amber Lamps]

Calibration is nothing more than adjusting your settings to achieve the desired optimum result.

But why listen to me, we're all stupid?


You are stupid! You need a calibration disc to do it right! Some blue ray movies come with the programming on them or I believe that you can burn one off the net. Trying to use someone else's calibration settings is as smart as trying to use a different guy's suspension settings. They may get you close but they aren't going to be perfect for you and your viewing situation. There are multiple factors involved, including but not limited to, room lighting, viewing angle, viewing distance, source material, etc. Oh but I'm sure that you knew that, right?:lol:

Most people dont give a shit about "Optimal." If it works out the box then they're set. I learned to leave them alone and stop trying to get them to be "optimal."

[Homeslice]

I've heard about this calibration and I believe that it involves more than just the settings....:idk: I'll call Samsung and check into it. Heck, I have the warranty so they should do it for free anyway... Yea, yea I know "those extended warranties are for suckers and "douchenozzles", right Trip?:lol:

Depends on 2 things:
1) first does it have any moving parts or other things that commonly break?
2) are you really going to hold onto it more than 2 years or so? You seem like the kind of person who wants the latest stuff all the time, so.....

I mean seriously.....I see people getting the service plan on something like a a cellphone or mp3 player......Which is a joke IMO because only a year later they're itching to buy a new one anyway.

[marko138]

Example of what you can find out there:

http://www.tweaktv.com/tweak-my-tv/calibration-guide/samsung-pn50a550.html

This is a good start - you can use suggested posted settings for a given set (such as these) and fine tune the settings to your liking. In the end, it's up to the viewer to decide what looks best.
I tried the settings listed for my tv. I like it better without their settings.

The key to service plans is to actually use them! (as I type this on the second new laptop that Dell has sent me over my service warranty)! Not to mention that the 46'' in my bedroom was courtesy of a service plan. Not to mention the Samsung Memoir in my pocket...yep courtesy of a service plan. In fact, my Sony digital camera is going to break so I can get the new model that's out or the Samsung with the two screens.:lol:

With some of the plans it doesn't need to do much to go in. My brother bought one on a laptop and they thing had all kinds of issues. It was fixed 3 times then replaced.

I bought one for my 46" tv but never had to use it. I'm still glad I bought it.

You can also look at is as "optimal" settings don't mean shit and calibration is worthless and a waste of money....since, as I've already said, all that really matters is how the viewer likes it.

Anyone that I have talked to that have seen two side by side said there is a HUGE difference in the picture. They said its amazing. But to back up what you just said it comes down to the viewer. Shit some people don't even like big screens.

I think it was my boss that said he was blown away by the difference but his wife likes it better before its done.

My my wife doesn't care about HD tv. It drives me nuts if I sit down and she is watching something on reg tv and I know it is playing on HD.

She says she doesn't see the difference in the two. I just pointed it out to her for the 5 time and she said oh ok but I still don't care. :wtfru: I'm not sure this marriage is going to work. LOL.

Not exactly. The plan needs to pay for the replacement. The replacement cost more they what is paid for the plan. They would price them on what they think they will have to pay out. Price it too low and the plan could cost the store money.

When I did my used car business the plans for some cars were pretty cheap. The plans on the Land Rovers were expensive.

It is another product for the store to sell. Profit is what runs a business.

I had always heard that the stores made out more on the warantees. I figured that was the case since they will sometimes be flexible on the price, they want ot make the sale and try to get you on the warantee.

Tom

I knew this clown who had a flood in his basement, so he took his TV down there so that he could claim it with his insurance. Total fucktard. Thanks for causing rates to go up for everyone.

[Amorok]

Wow, I jumped into this late. I just got a used 42" plasma 720p from a friend for a couple of hundred bucks. Before I had an old 27" CRT and it was a huge difference moving to a plasma. Going over to my friends' houses that have 1080p with bigger screens make me drool. More than anything else we watch Playhouse Disney, and I don't care. I'm convinced even Mickey Mouse Clubhouse would look better in hi-def.

As for the Harmony remote, it's a must-have. since I got mine my system is easy to operate, even for Ulu. When friends come over nobody fucks up my stuff trying to figure out how to work it, and that makes a big deal for me.

[Flexin]

I had always heard that the stores made out more on the warantees. I figured that was the case since they will sometimes be flexible on the price, they want ot make the sale and try to get you on the warantee.

Tom

You want to sell as many items as you can. The more the store sells the more a store makes.

Using my used car business as an example. I would make more if I sold a warranty. That wasn't the only reason I wanted to sell it. If I sold it there was a better chance of having a happy costumer in the end. They are used cars so things can break down. I would fix anything that was broke but if something does happen they are going to bitch at me and blame me for selling junk.

If they get the waranty they might not have to pay for the repair which is going to make them happy and there is a better chance they will buy from me again.

So it does make a store more money but it can help you keep a customer.

I sold a product to a young woman the other day. Her and her father said they would never buy that product without a service plan. This was their third time buying this product (I don't know how long they had each product) and they used the plan on first two.

And if your selling more then one product in a sale you have more room to make a deal.

James

I don't know anymore but I had a friend who worked at Circuit City 7 or 8 years ago. They payed him about 5 times as much commission for selling a warranty on a $400 TV than they payed him in commission on the TV itself. If you believe they knew what they were doing and paid their salespeople more for more profit they were making a bunch on warranties. Of course if they knew what they were doing they would still be in business.:shrug:

No, you are the fucktards that are ASSuming that I'm committing fraud. I admit that I'm very quick to use the warranty but I don't make shit break or under perform. These plans guarantee performance like new for the length of the plan. My camera is not performing up to MY specifications...

You don't affect everyone's "premium" by using it. You don't pay more for the next warranty if you use one and you don't pay less if you don't.

Our plans say they will perform as the manufacture say they will for the life of the plan.

James

[Amber Lamps]

[Flexin]

You don't affect everyone's "premium" by using it. You don't pay more for the next warranty if you use one and you don't pay less if you don't.

Not really true. The price a plan on how much they will have to pay out. They need to make money on it.

The warranties I sold were not covered by me, I used a company who's business it was to sell warranties. They price the plans based on how many plans they will sell and how much they will pay out in repairs. The point of business is to make profit.

Like my stepfather always say " profit is not a dirty word".

James

[Flexin]

That's my point. If my camera isn't taking as quality photos as it should, it's going back to the store. Oh well if you all don't like it.

I'm not saying I don't like it. You have everyone else up in arms because of your wording. A lot of these service plans have a performance guarantee. If you feel its not performaning as it should then you have a right to take it in and see if they agree. If they say your problem doesn't fit under the rules then its no deal. If they do its a win for you.

My brother had his laptop in three time for problems and they ended up replacing it. Thats why you buy it, to protect the money you spend on it in the first place.

Whatever dude! You people always want to paint me in the worst light possible and take whatever I say and make it as negative as possible.

I will say this, I guarantee that after two years this camera will not perform the way it did when it was new. Period. Hell, the clerk at the store SUGGESTED that I bring it back for a new one AND told me exactly what to say to customer no service when I do. That's a no brainer to be honest.

If you all buy warranties and don't use them, okay... I guess that I'm the stupid one but I use mine. You're like people that are afraid to make an insurance claim and pay that premium for decades.

It's just this simple. If my bike so much as ticks three times, it's going to the shop if it's under warranty. If my camera is supposed to take 10 pictures in 5 seconds and it only takes 8, it's going back to the store. If that makes me an asshole then fine. Oh and I never claimed to have the sterling high moral standards that you all possess. I am all kinds of dirty, yo! Keep your big mouths shut or I'll steal your motherfucking gold teeth!

Oh and another thing, I am not afraid to get EVERY price match I'm entitled to. They've price matched my Voyager Pro headset three god damn times!!! I just don't give a fuck! I'm buck wild crazy like that, motherfucker!!! Please don't let something better/cheaper come out even on the 29th day after I bought that shit, because my ass will be dragging them shits on back, directly to customer service to get my money back and buy the new one. I know all the customer service clerks up at Walmart nigga!!! We is ever so tight and shit! They all run and hide at Ron Ayers when my big ass comes through the damn door carrying a bag!

DON'T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME, FOOLS!!! I didn't invent this shit, I'm just working the program that they set up. I'm 1 in a 100, the other 99 of you all let them keep your money. Shit, I bet you don't even bring your shit in for the free cleanings, alignments, etc. SUCKERS!

[Trip]

That's cool, but then you gotta deal with having no bike for 2-3 days while they fuck around with it, acting like they're looking for the noise when in reality they know that it's indemic to the model and there's nothing they can do about it.

If my camera is supposed to take 10 pictures in 5 seconds and it only takes 8, it's going back to the store. !
So, they give you a new one, and you just hope it works better? Who's to say they don't ALL take 8 pics a second?

They've price matched my Voyager Pro headset three god damn times!!! !
This, for something that's only worth $75? So, let's say you see it for $5 less......It'd take you $5 just to drive back to the store to say something about it. Unless I'm missing something?

Shit, I bet you don't even bring your shit in for the free cleanings, alignments, etc. SUCKERS!

Shit, plus I be driving everyday, 60-100+ miles any old way, so why not stop and get my cheddar, bitch? Besides, this shit retailed for $130 and I've gotten it down to $80. Dat's fiddy dizzles my nizzle!!!

Oh and it doesn't hurt to have electronics cleaned out. They accumulate dust which builds up heat and can cause failures. Oh wait...

Dat shit gets dirty inside and those clowns clean that shit for free!!

:lol:

You paid $130 for a Voyager Pro? I'm hoping that was quite awhile ago?

You realize who is actually cleaning your stuff at these places? I wouldn't want those kids touching my shit. Sorry, I know a lot more about my components than some ITT Tech dropout that works for the "geek squad."
Hell, they probably don't even give it to the Geek Squad, they probably farm it out to some other company making $6/hr. They put it on a truck to somewhere, so it gets a bunch of vibrations and road shock.

Either that or they stick a canned air nozzle in any vents or seams they can find on the equipment and blast away.

Nah, it's possible to get good service at Best Buy...not probable mind you, possible.

People that matter told me that I didn't use smileys enough when we were at the rally. Now that you mention it, perhaps I should cut down on them. It's one extra keystroke I can avoid making... Thanks for the advice!

Awww....you're welcome, big fella.

Um bike has been in several times. My '97 Yamaha YZF1000R had two engine rebuilds and three transmission repairs. I buy the extended warranty on every bike.

If we were to ever meet, remind me to never let you operate any of my vehicles.

No problem! The Yamaha had issues off the bat plus, well I'm fucking picky! As stated, I'm not afraid to take shit in/back at the drop of a hat!

The bigger you go, the more the picture quality makes a difference. I hate watching regular tv on my 46". I will watch a rerun on HD before I will watch something new on regular tv in most cases.

Uhg! anything inder 720i is just not even worth watching the "artifacts" and gain is so bad you cant hardly watch:td:
1080i+ FTW!

Oh and HDMI really does make a difference from normal Composite:rockwoot:
