I needed new socks....what's the big deal
I need new feet. Mine sweat like a bitch, then I will need less socks/washing.
How much was TV? I have a 48inch HD tv with lots of cool features, got it two years ago only cost €317 with discount for company I was working for (back office for electronics wholesaler).
If you want to really take advantage of a good HD TV I have one bit of advice: Use the USB port. Charge phone watching TV, watch movies or listen to music through port (I just DL movies/TV programs now and watch on TV), you can even use it for photo slideshows if having a party.
On a side note, I hope 4k TV doesn't take off (or 8k). 1080p is max anyone needs (4k means pixels indistinguishable from 22" away but who watches TV that close?) Netflix accounts for 34% of internet traffic - 1 min of 4k is 5gb or something - it's a fucking waste. Hope it goes the way of 3d TV.
