review for 80" Flat Screen at Best Buy

[Palpatine Q]

Hhahaha all this hardware is designed to die after a predermined time of use...

You really seem to take pleasure in telling us shit anyone here with half a brain already knows.... "planned obsolescence" isn't exactly a new concept, and you know that going in.

 I can say this..the TV I just got rid of, a Sony 52" XBR4 ....ran without a hitch for 4 years and was working perfectly when I sold it to defer the cost of the new one. if you look at any big ticket entertainment item as an investment, you're an idiot...it's an expense, chalk it up to "standard of living". I like mine high 

Now cars..that's a different story. you won't catch me dead rolling off a showroom floor in a new car, can't justify the ass-pounding you take as soon as they hand you the keys.  I'm lucky though...I have a GOOD friend who owns multiple car lots in AZ and I get late-model cars for peanuts. I also buy cars for him as a side venture that is working out quite nicely

I have a 90in tv however the problem is that i have to sit three streets away to get all the screen in my vision.

hey uberman, whats your opinion of guys who buys 50+ inch tvs and also use steroids to gain muscle?

[kiwiol]

That's a good post and he's spot on about investment vs expense. Why the eye roll?

[thelamefalsehood]

I heard that Plasmas don't last long and that they begin to degrade after a period of time

I have an LED TV and am happy with it. I was talking to some Geek Squad guys though and they said they all had Plasmas. I'm not real versed on all the ins and outs, but he basically said they had a better picture quality and the problems they had years ago are gone.

If you want a great TV get this- I just bought the 55 inch Sony XBR series Bravia. This bitch is the bomb. The pic looks so real it is crazy.
