    4K TV is real... who's getting one first?

    Botch, with you all the way. I look at what I have and I'm set. At 61 what am I am upgrading to? My focus is on what I call my 2 year plan to improve curb appeal. That's when I sell. 5 year years from now I retire . My toys are what they are at this point. I'm ready to get out of the sandbox...

    4K TV is real... who's getting one first?

    Zing, I did a lot of field work birding. Figure 1.5K for a decent scope and at least half that for binoculars. Then the vest with all the pockets, a Tilly Hat and field books. A pretty penny if you are serious. Then the numerous trips to Central and South America. Oh on the 4K... no way for me.

    Umphrey's McGee

    My son is a Phish Head and has been since high school. He graduated in 97. He has eclipsed 100 concerts. Being a P.H. automatically makes him UM follower. Since fatherhood back in November he has refrained, its been close though. Its only a matter of time when he packs up his son and heads out...

    Why did movie rental streaming prices increase?

    What is most ironic I refuse to purchase hard media. I haven't bought a movie in years or a CD. I use Netflix for physical and streaming. Meets my needs. Netflix new show Orange is the new Black is lets say nice. Mad Men is also there. I only have 62 of the 64 episodes to go. For less than $20 a...

    Why did movie rental streaming prices increase?

    Oh when will I ever learn to shut up! Buying 20 cars at whatever paid, doesn't give you the right to copy/steal the 21st. If someone wants to lend you their car that's up to them. You copy something you should have paid for and keep it, it's theft. IP is a whole different subject IMO. Being...

    Why did movie rental streaming prices increase?

    I am not sure if you are in agreement with what I said. The bootleg industry is a problem. For all products, clothing, electronics and media. It takes money out of the mainstream and impacts people an their ability to make a living. As long as people are willing to buy a Rolex on Broadway and...

    Why did movie rental streaming prices increase?

    So who gets paid? Royalties , commissions, salaries ect... You point this device at my car and now have my car in a copy, that's a problem. If everyone does that, what happens. Don't need to make new cars. Don't need innovation to create. Shit don't need people to work and get paid. So they...

    Why did movie rental streaming prices increase?

    Don't normally pitch in, but... Well I want that jacket, but I will be dammed, I'm not paying $290. I'll lift it. Any difference in illegal download. Not IMO. Theft is theft. If you don't want to pay the price, walk away. I'm not saying the price is not a rip off. That doesn't justify theft...

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    I watched Taken 2 this past weekend. Enjoyed it. No thinking entertainment, with lots of things blowing up is a great way to spend a Saturday night. Also, watching Liam Neeson do what "I do best" is OK with me.

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    Thanks Matt. I just finished watching. Good movie. Certainly went under the radar. Good cast. Liked the kid. Never heard of her, but a good little actor. I see she was in Salt. Don't remember.

    Starting the search for a new TV.

    from the link you provided i looked up the 55" and it's 58 lbs. GT30 55' 70 lbs. yes heavier, but not that much. Again it is all your preference and "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

    Starting the search for a new TV.

    You are referencing Plasma of the past. The technolgy has moved forward. The weight of my GT30 55' is 70 lbs. and it is cool to the touch. No heat. Again, my eye test... PQ is far superior in Plasma compared to LED/LCD. Everyone sees things through their eyes and I can respect that.

    Starting the search for a new TV.

    I do not have what you seem to have as serious light issues. As Towen noted as a suggestion I do have wall mount and it is angled down. I do not have issue with reflecting off the glass. So, it is your room situation and what you choose. You asked for suggestions, so I offered up one...

    Starting the search for a new TV.

    I'm a fan of plasma, and I really like my Panny GT30 55". Here is the review of the GT50. The 60" will fit in your budget. Black levels are fantastic and the viewing area is much wider than LED. Will handle a well lit room too. So here s a suggestion...
