I don't even know what I'd do with a 65" TV.

[flvegan]

I stopped by Circuit City today to view their "liquidation" sale that's going on. I thought maybe I could score a good deal on a bigger monitor or something :eyes:.

ANYway, I found myself over where the big, obnoxious televisions are. There was this monster Mitsubishi 65" super hi-def somethingorother, and suddenly I found myself thinking "You know, $1200 seems like a good deal for that."

Of course I then snapped out of my hypnosis when reason (damn you, reason!) stepped in and walked me out of the store.

1. Punky Brewster is best viewed in Blu Ray, filling the peripheral vision.

You just don't know what you're missing out on.

[rcrush]

2. oooooh I'm drooling already.

I'm thinking of becoming one with my couch while watching that all day.

[AlCzervik]

3. you'd watch porn on it.

yes?

[rcrush]

4. Why else do you think they make blu ray girls gone wild?

[Fire Walk With Me]

6. Does Namaste Yoga broadcast in HiDef?

[flvegan]

8. Oh, now that's not fair.

9. You don't detect the note of jealousy in my post?

As well as the note of encouragement, that I may live vicariously through your 65" Namaste Yoga experience?

[flvegan]

11. For the hell of it

I just looked at Best Buy. Same set is $1500. Honestly, I'd pay the extra just so that I could get a warranty, etc. However, I cannot justify in this economy, the way things are, spending what would amount to $2000 on a television.

10. If it does, I'm going to move there

[mcctatas]

17. I don't know...

Porn in high def on a 65 inch screen sounds like it could end badly :scared:

[lost-in-nj]

37. Gets even better with surround sound.....

:evilgrin:


:hi:



lost

[Deja Q]

5. Oops.

:hi:

:blush:

Glad you didn't buy into their phony hype. The only thing they are liquidating is truth.

:pals:

[Pryderi]

7. That's a fucking EXCELLENT price! Get 'cause it's cheap!

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. REAL Americans buy stuff whether they need it or not, whether they can afford it or not.

Why does flvegan hate America!? :cry: ;)

[Deja Q]

15. Well, for some, it's their surrogate society.

Sadly, I am not being facetious nor jocular...

[Pryderi]

23. No. What's "American" is finding a great deal! ;)

[LeftyMom]

13. I watch TV on mine.

:evilgrin:

Of course, I got mine for $500 at the aptly named Stupid Prices store.

The upside of that is that, when we eventually get around to living on the same coast, you can watch my TV.

[AlCzervik]

14. i need to go there, one of my friends goes every week and always finds something good.

[LeftyMom]

16. Like most discount places, it's hit or miss.

My chaise and ottoman came from there for $219 for the set. Same shopping trip as the TV. But other times I find almost nothing. I went the other day and only got some organic canned tomatoes.

[AlCzervik]

18. i just looked and the one near is only 6 miles away, i didn't realize it was that close.

[LeftyMom]

22. Yeah, it's over in the warehouse-y area behind the park.

That one is pretty good. The one on Arden is pretty small and it generally sucks. There's a pretty big one over on Madison that's where I found my TV and couch- it seems like they get more of the large items and are more likely to mark them down really far.

[Deja Q]

19. Of anything that could be 65", at least it's only a TV...

:D

[TK421]

20. I have a pretty large apartment ( it's shared by four people ) even we do not

have that kind of space just for a TV...that is fucking insane...that is for someone who has a room that is dedicated solely to the purpose of viewing a screen that size! It's a whole other fucking room for fucks sake!!!

































BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Critters2]

21. You'd look at it. I mean, it'd be damned hard to ignore!! nt

[GOPisEvil]

24. Playstation 3 looks AWESOME on a 61" Samsung.

So do movies and TV.

It's the REAL reason I continue to see Madrone. Her toys are much better than mine.

[LaraMN]

25. I would sell it and go clothes shopping with the proceeds.

I have minimal interest in electronics and maximal interest in teh pritties!

[annabanana]

26. My house is small... I'd have to watch it from out in the street.. . n/t

[lizziegrace]

30. My sister and her family got one.

She got so nauseous that she couldn't watch it even from the other side of the room. She said she watches the 13" portable tv in her room.

She used to get sick on the merry-go-round riding a stationary horse...

[no name no slogan]

27. I don't get it with the huge TVs either

I've got an old tube-style 30" TV right now. I'm thinking about stepping up to a flatscreen of some type. It's almost impossible to even find one that's below 32". I may end up getting a 36" just because I can't find any much smaller than that. My room isn't big enough to justify one bigger than that.

28. I just got out the yard stick

It wasn't big enough. I had to use math as well.

I also just learned that there are TVs as big as my TV plus my desk. Could you do multiple things on it at once? Say, use it as a giant L shaped monitor, while having TV running up in the top corner for your wife, instead of having to use 2 monitors to achieve the proper magnificence from ones computer, while also having a tv?

[lizziegrace]

29. I don't have a wall that big

I'm still using an old 19" tv that belonged to my grandmother.

[tigereye]

31. 2 folks we know have those really big ones

I have to admit that football games look very good on them, but I'm not buying one...

[cynatnite]

32. My SIL and her husband have one about that size...

They have a HUGE den, too.

[Kat45]

33. One would need a room large enough to have enough distance between TV & viewer

Sitting too close makes your eyes hurt (at least it does for me).

[WinkyDink]

34. Cheap---until you get the electricity bill.

[PVnRT]

35. Boobs look fantastic on a 65"

[whistler162]

38. sorry I wouldn't watch Fox news even if they gave me the

65" TV!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

36. webcam with Leftymom...
