Team sports in tutu's. Synchronized Tutuing. Lacrosse in tutu's. The tutu marathon

That's the thing. I didn't spend 3 grand for my TV. It's not the lightest thing in the world, but it gets the job done. I feel bad for those who got the expensive TV to watch the Olympics among other programs. The Olympic coverage on HD, and in fact generally, has been extremely disappointing. Thankfully there are other options (albeit limited) for hi-def.

I have something that beats HD...life. Real life. I'm all for having a nice TV but this HD stuff is a little out of hand. Most people want HD for movies and there are no HD DVDs yet. Not until the Blue-Ray discs comes out. But satelitte? HD Jay Leno? Yeah, I'm gonna rush out for that!

I know there life. But sometimes I need to remove myself from the day-to-day grind of working, and relax. Others read, sleep, play sports, etc. I do all that and watch TV. Yeah call me a potato if you like, but it's nice to watch all the HD shows about Africa and the oceans. One day I'll travel to those places, but until then the TV is all I've got.

Do you have it through the satelitte? How much extra is it anyway?

Nope. I get it through my cable provider. It adds $5 to the monthly bill, so it's not bad. I really wish they had Discovery HD. They have incredible programs from various parts of the world. But you're right, I didn't buy it for Jay Leno. I needed a new TV and it wasn't that much more than normal TV. Yeah it's not the newest plasma sets, but I wasn't going to waste that much money on one of those.

1 minor problem. Our Great and Noble Government has decreed that HDTV Shall Be The Law Of The Land within the next few years

Also satellite ain't generally available in high-rise environments

I would love one of the plasma displays. I was looking at some LCD displays but the refresh rate on those is still too low to make it a viable option for hometheater use. Too much blurring during high action scenes.

plasma's biggest problems have been the VERY high price tag (which is coming down to reality) and the fact that it can't produce true black or blacker-than-black. But they are getting better with that. I remember when they first came out Farouja was the only one that made them and they sold them for $13,000. Now I bet all the people that bought those 5 years ago are kicking themselves because you can get one for $2000.

If I had one of those big Plazma TV's I would mount it above the bed on the ceiling and never leave my bed ....LOL
Who needs a mirror ceiling?

Woah, too much information there

TV is better than a mirror--right Spray??

It was a joke......I have a Phillips 55" wide screen HDTV, but the wife wanted me to buy a 60" LCD that you could watch 4 different chanels at once so she could watch 4 different football games at one time....LOL, but my HotRod project is more importent ...LOL

LOL, just checking. It's like the Philips commercial way back when plasmas were just being introduced. They hung their set on the ceiling.

Well your hairy butt couldn't be any worse
than things that drop over the years.

LOL ANN , My day is-a-commin'

But I am so Pretty In my purple TUTU

I can't stand most of the Olympic events... Track and Field doesn't start until the 18th, I think... w00t, can't wait!

If you consider the shotput as a T&F event, then yes you are correct sir.
