My computer screen is smaller than the previous one, I'm still in the mindset of "my laptop is a 30" so my TV has to be a 40" ", but I'm on a 26" laptop now.

been watching a 50'' LED for years.
doing research, found out that if you're sitting at 10-12'... you can go as big as 65-70'' easy.
there goes my budget lol

Ok, without back reading too much.

The last tv I bought the geek told me for sports/gaming (because the picture moves so fast),one of the most important things is the 'refresh rate' or Hz, the higher the Hz the more the picture refreshes per second.

I closing, 3 factors, size, Hz, price.

That is all..

I won a HP Omen 34" Curved Monitor at a work event.

Never would have purchased a curved monitor, but I am pretty happy with it.

Especially considering I paid nothing for it.

i had a tv called Apex once that was so heavy and unwieldy that they built handles into it.

thing was possessed. any time the power went out the tv would turn itself on when it came back. volume all the way up.

lol, reminds me of a neighbor my parents had a while back, he had the basement re-done, and the TV he had there was so frickin' huge he couldn't get it out of there anymore, he had to put it in pieces to get rid of it.

with Dvorak centering the 3rd line it will probably be Newhook, but I think they will all have their chance. Roy, Anderson, Armia... I don't expect the 2nd line to stay the same for 82 games.

wrap the tv in a blanket and everybody beats it with a sledgehammer. it'll be fun.

and it will be good practice for when we lure bingo into that barn like we were talking about before.

damn, I'm agreeing with Fido, on commence la saison en force!!


seriously though I really wish Anderson could focus a bit more and be able to bring a physical element while also being somewhat of an offensive threat, as that would be perfect for that line imho. Dach and Laine aren't small dudes but they don't necessarily throw their weight around too much either.

i was gifted a 55" fire tv. the brand is insignia, which is a budget brand, but it seems fine so far. i haven't noticed anything that looks or seems bad.

of course, i had a sanyo and a sylvania before this so i might just not be very fancy.

- kicksave856

same. its fine and a good price. i bought it because i bought one for my daughter when she went to college and the picture is still great 12 years later. crip and clear as the day i bought it

i remember we made fun of my cheap ass uncle for buying an insignia mp3 player to my aunt for christmas when she asked for an ipod back in the day..


wait, you know what? the brand turned out to be fine but that still was a terrible move by my idiot uncle there. i'm so glad he's dead now.
