Congrats...! :victory:

Although, trying to shake the Post-It out was rather inadvisable. :sweat:

It was from those plastic sleeves. You knwo how if you crack them in new, then sometimes the tear-off pieces are still attached. It must have clung (static) to a disc when I inserted it.

I guess...I liked my TV but that SOB is a heavy CRT TV...I guess it's time to get a flat panel. :beaten: Would rather not shell out the cash but if I want another TV I gots no choice. :sweat:

I'm thinking of getting a flat for my room as well. My TV right now takes up too much space, and I'd like to have the TV sit on a shelf in my book shelf. Have you looked into any specifically?

I'm thinking of getting a LCD perhaps...maybe a Sony Bravia or a Sharp...
well good thing for you is the Canadian dollar is at parity with the US dollar so goods like TVs should be much cheaper for you than in the past.

I know the feeling: my living room has a 32" Sony and the bastard weighs 150 lbs... :sweat:

How big?

The 32" Visio my brother bought at Costco for his bedroom is pretty good and a mere $600... That's cheaper than my Sony when I purchased it seven years ago. :sweat:

If it's gonna sit on a bookshelf, you can't be looking for that big of a TV, ne?

The TV I'm replacing is a 34" Sony and weights 250lbs. Had to haul that biyotch up a flight of stars.....fuggin' sux, a$$.

Yeah Vizio has some fans...and brisk sales...I'll be checkin' Costco out because their prices are unbeatable for brick and motor establishments.

I'm looking to buy a 40 or 46 inch....

It ain't gonna be too fun taking it back down, either. :sweat:

Ooh.

40" should be around the mid $1K range and the 46" will be pushing the $2K ceiling... Probably more for the Bravia and more performance-laden models...

Yeah I think you're right on the mark with your assessment. :say_yes:

Yup.

Been following my brother around while he tries to decide on a 46-incher for his living room...

Seems like LCDs are the way to go... Surprisingly, it appears that there aren't that many plasmas below 50" that support the 1080p resolution whereas pretty much all the 46+" LCDs do... If I didn't know any better, I think the plasmas have stagnated.

With respect to plasmas I think the best brand is Panasonic unless you wanna spend a ricockulous amount of money and get a Pioneer Elite or Pioneer Kuro. Yeah I don't want to go above 46 inches because anything larger than that would look ridiculous in my space.

Go to AVS Forum...they have some serious techno-nuts there talking about all kinds of TVs.

Yup, seems to be consensus on that Panasonic plasmas...
