Kris... you know you didn't even have to ask.
OF COURSE WE CAN. Fire up the General Lee - we've got show Boss Hogg a thing or two. Yeehaw!

It's a slow night on INGO, !!!! we need a noob like last night!!!

I'm just gald that this does not happen on a regular basis.

 

[IndyBeerman]

Ahem... I think it's your turn buddy!

I've tried with no luck today!

Works, just hit ya!

 

[IndyBeerman]

As much as I want one, I'm too stubborn...My DVD collection is nothing short of ridiculous and if I buy a BR player, I'd want to get copies of all the DVDs I have, which isn't even close to realistic.

Buying Blu-Ray of what you have will garner you basically very little difference in quality.

In order to get the vastly superior video qualities of Blu-Ray, the orginal content needed to be recorded in Hi-Def in the first place. Although you will get better audio.

Buy the Blu-Ray, it'll upconvert them to 1080 so it will look a little better and you can keep your old collection to view, and start a new BR collection. It's the best of both worlds.

On a big tv like mine (60 inch plasma ), you can really see the difference between blu ray and dvd.

1080p is awesome.

60 inch, it's so little compared to my 108 inch HD projector!

Yup that's right 9 foot screen with Sony 7.1 surround sound with a Optoma HD6800 mini flame thrower for the video.

I don't go to commercial venues, I stroll upstairs to the treehouse and kick back in one of my 4 recliners.

I prefer LCD over plasma...though both have a great picture, Im comforted by the fact the LCD is more durable. I have one of the fastest LCDs on the market so the "ghosting" that most LCD suffer from isnt an issue. Ive got a Sony Bravia {new 60"} I like it because it has built in wifi{still havent figured out all of the features my TV has}
Im sure the newer plasma TVs are better than the older ones..the one I had lasted a whole 2 years before it went out TV watchin is serious bidness

Well that was fun. After a nice long useless trip to Bloomington (because I'm a dumbarse) I decided it was time to clean the driveway. So, 5 hours and a trip to Menards for concrete cleaner later, my driveway now no longer has oil/tranny fluid stains!! Weeeeeeeee!!!!!

Man my back hurts, but it was worth it!

Just saw a Billy Mays commercial for the first time in a while. Man, that guy was a genius at selling stuff...

Smaller sets I would also prefer LCD, but not for really big sets.

Plasmas have much deeper blacks and better contrast.

agreed...but should say better than most most LCD TVs.. my bravia rivals the best plasmas on the market{at a cost though}...for the price I paid for the bravia I could of bought one of the better plasmas..but with the problems I had with my samsung plasma Im a bit leery of all plasmas.."once bitten twice shy" as they say.
my dad has a newer panasonic 65" plasma and I must say that blu ray movies look much better on his TV than mine..I figure if my TV ever goes out and he still likes his I may consider one of the panosonics plasmas.

We're both sitting pretty buddy!

Well she looked like Mariah Carey until she dropped her drawers. I just hope I used enough bleach and power washed hard enough to clean off the blood pool it left in the driveway after the coroner left...

I just got home. I installed a shower valve, installed a shower pan liner, and my buddy tricked me into laying 200 sq. ft. of tile in a cut-up kitchen.
<<<< This guy is kinda tired.
I'm still gonna hit the bars tonight........I'm tired, not dead.

 

[evansvillethompsongunner]

I honestly can't tell the difference between plasma, LCD, Blu-Ray, DVD... I like you chumps, but you got chumped.

I played an hour of Dance Dance Revolution today at Bob Walther's, so I'm kinda tired myself, Jimbo. Not quite the same as laying tile, I imagine, but still, took a lot out of me. Now it's time for some cake, some Coke Zero, and eventually some sleep... while Bigum and Kris enjoy their deliciously expensive, crisped-blacks and clear-colored TVs. :-D
