Re: So tell me about your TV... scalius Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 07:55:47 PM
1) What kind of TV do you have? (brand, size, picture technology, etc)


JVC HD-ILA/DLP, 52"

2) What side of the Plasma vs LCD argument do you fall on?


Currently LCD seeing some of the latest magic on new sets

3) Do you plan a TV upgrade anytime soon?


Always planning, so it's more of an issue of "do I really need a new TV now?"

4) Have you upgraded to Blu-Ray yet?


of course

5) How big is your DVD/Blu-Ray library?


Blu-Ray stands at about 20 atm. 2/year my local B&N has a "buy 2 get 1 free" deal on Blu-Ray. I tend to load up at those times. I just got started on Blu-Ray about 4 months ago. Overall DVD's has got to be near 100, or more.

6) Aren't Blu-Ray disks ridiculously overpriced still?? I mean $30+ for a new movie when you can get the DVD for like 1/2 that?? What's up with that?


Maybe. They have vastly superior picture/sound compared to DVD, so 2x the money isn't really that far off. I would rather they were more like $25 on average though. When I do the "2-fer" deal noted above, they come out at about a $20 average...which is fine.

7) Am I alone in thinking a lot of movies aren't worth the additional premium it costs to get the modest upgrade in picture?


Yes. Or you should be I can't overstate what the upgrade means in terms of pic/sound compared to regular DVD (assuming the appropriate TV/equipment of course)

I would slave, to pave the way, to sink your ship of fools.
