I want a honkin' big ass wide screen LCD tv...

[jomar]

or is that a big ass honkin' wide screen tv?

Twisted logic suggest that with all the DVD movies I watch it'll pay for itself in a few years.

Dreaming of a 52 incher. And forget SED - it's tied up in court until LOTR 10 comes out and Harry Potter comes back from the dead. What should I buy?

Give me a logical reason why you would need a tv screen that big. GOD doesn't need a tv that big.

Didn't your mother teach you NEVER to listen to salesmen of any kind. The first rule is to mace them as they approach.

The wife still won't cave, eh Jo?

She's on the verge. I promised a year's worth of chick flicks, to be shown on Wednesday.

But she smirked.

GOD doesn't watch porn. Or the winter olympics.

Are you sure about that, Rox?
He might like "4 Gurls For Every Guy: The Snowbunnies Edition"
or maybe he's a serious Shaun White fan.

My skin is burning. Is that bad?

I never watch porn on TV! But the winter olympics...

Get your kids and SO. Sit close to each other on the floor, legs spread, one behind the other. Your in a line with backs to chests. Got the picture? Now, when the bobsled races come on you can twist and turn and laugh and giggle as the camera follows the action. Works better with kids under 10, but kick the older kids out and you or your SO will end up with carpet burns.

I bought a 50" Samsung HDTV two months ago. It worked three days. I'm still waiting on a replacement or warranty service.
when it worked, though, it was mesmerizing...

Okay, Samsung's out. Sony rules! Shaun White does too - but only because he has red hair an AmEx card.

My monstrosity is from Samsung, it's like 52 inches, HDMI, flat screen and all. Totally overwhelmes my tiny apartment. But Madden 07 is frigging awesome.

It's all relative to the size of the room, the number of people and the distance you sit from the screen.

50" is rather small for a home theater.

We have some friends who regularly have movie parties for 15-30 people. They use an SVGA projector on an 8 foot wide screen.

A 50" screen in that room would be laughable.

Or cable news. Speaking of, can you imagine how big Bill O'Reilly's head would be on a 42" LCD?

I wanted to get a projector, but could not get the room dark enough. So I have a 60" Sony. The kids love it, I usually can't get near it.

 

[The_Fool]

Bought a 46" Rear projection DLP which fit the space and cost less than half of a LCD. Only weighs 60 pounds too.

 

[shereads]

I want one too - and I only listen to TV when it's on in the other room.

Maybe I'll buy one and keep mine at Best Buy, where they have room for it.

I'll store it for you.

A 52-incher? Child's play.

I highly recommend getting a projector. Giant picture (potentially way bigger than a big screen tv), no giant ugly tv in the room, no heavy lifting when it's time to move it.

Biggest problem is if you have a hard time making the room dark if you want to watch when it's light out (but if you've got decent window coverings, you're set).

What ever should I do with all the valuable real estate resulting from these mysterious duplicate posts?

Wasn't there a song in the 80's called Doop Doop Doop?

1. He's a man.
2. Its a toy.
3. Its big.
4. Its a TV, dammit.

I could go on, but those are four logical reasons (logical to a guy anyway).

I wish I was selling tv's on comission. I could make a guy choose that TV over girlfriends, some wives, a car, or surgery.

Hell, if I staffed my salesfloor with cute young saleswomen, I could get them to sign over 401K's for the damn things.
