Yep, gotta spread the Jdrama word. :P

Seems like the site was down for a couple of minutes... Or maybe it was me. :sweat:

Parents gave me a new tv as an earlier birthday present (and possibly Christmas present) :dancing:

I like sending out series myself. :victory:

@jav_sol- congrats on the new TV!

@Jav_sol: Enjoy your new TV! :woot:

Hi everyone! :wave: In case this applies to your location: It is Daylight Saving Time! Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour. :fingerscrossed: Enjoy your extra hour of sleep. :) :sleep: :sleeping:

Yep, do they still sell non-HDTVs? Blu-rays look awesome, dvds look great, most of the dramas looked good. I wasn't too impressed with they way SD television looked, but I don't want to upgrade to an HD package, cause the channels I'm interested in aren't in HD yet. :sweat:
Most people complain about how TVs come with crappy speakers, but I was more than satisfied with the sound I got through the HDMI cable. Of course, nothing can compare to a good sound system, but that'll come later.

Now I want it more than ever, but I'll have to wait cause I had to buy a HDMI cable, which wasn't cheap, and a new tv stand.

@ Eve & Enna Thanks, I'm loving the TV. :victory:

Oh man, you didn't get suckered into the $20+ HDMI cable, huh? :sweat:

I bought four (for myself and my brothers) cables from Amazon and the total price was about $15. :victory:

Afraid so :sweat: Every store had the same cables at the same price, so I went with the store that gave me a gift card. :beaten:
I needed the cable right away, so I couldn't order online, I would have to wait. I didn't have any extra HDMI cables cause my computer monitor came with its own. It figures that I have a bunch of component & composite cables around, though.

That's typical: when you're buying that HDTV, the store has you in a corner for the HDMI cable... And the only ones they carry are overpriced/pricey.

Nice little racket they got going. :grumble:

True, well my parents didn't fall for it or maybe when the sales rep showed them the price they thought, "meh, he can buy the cable himself once he gets the TV." :hehe: I should go ask them.

LOL. :hehe:

The price at most retail stores (Best Buy, Sears, etc.) for an HDMI cable is like $20-$30... Even more of you buy that bogus Monster Cable crap. :bleh:

it occured to me the other day that most people struggle with doors at mcdonalds. they're clearly labelled push or pull but alas this simple task confuses them. :beaten:

Yeah, those monster cable prices are crazy. I saw one for around $200 :shocked: I was told the more expensive ones transfer more data, so they're better.

I'm still adjusting to the time change. I can't believe it's only 7 pm, feels more like 9 pm. :sweat:

That's a truckload of BS.

The only thing is transfers more of is the money from your wallet into theirs.

Ugh, this switch back to Standard Time is depressing: I come home from work and it's getting dark already... :(

I have to still get up just as early since the horses dont do TIme Change. No watches.
ITs sort of annoying.... :grumble:

I think it's worth it considering it's day light when I wake up. For some reason it's always harder to wake up when its still dark outside.

Poor Evie. :patpat:
