Four on the left pile, three on the right, stacked adjacent to each other and all running from the same signal.

Yeah TVs stacked on top of each other, that'll look gorgeous!

Oh you know what I hate? All those new glass TV cabinets those look like such shit lol.

As many as possible. All shapes and sizes.

As many as it takes to watch all the Rocky movies simultaneously.

Losers have picture-in-picture. Cool people have multiple TVs.

Screw TVs, people are fucking obsessed with them today, they're gaming monitors to me and nothing more (that's why I like HD so much otherwise I'd agree with you Sekto) I don't even like movies. What's really taken a nose dive in quality is audio equipment. I was looking at audio amps today in a department store and it was all fucking home theater shit, it's like people prefer sound effects to music now, today's amps are complete JUUNKK

I only have one TV, an 80s TV, before that we had a 70s TV, old, made of wood, this'n is plastic but still, it's good reliable as was the one before this'n. Simple, easy to use, good speakers. Better 'n some plasma screens I assure you

I would never advise someone getting a plasma screen anyways, CRT's for the win!

Plasma screens are expensive, HEAVY, power sucking, theoretically complicated.... and run HOT.

Oh, and their lifespan is extremely limited at elevations over about 4500 feet.

Once again, we are the sheep.

Must... HAVE....



FLAT TEEVEE! :monster:

Heavy?! Compared to a CRT?! No way, an LCD is so much lighter.

But plasma is not.

But plasma is different

Because plasma is gay.

Ah fair enough I assumed you meant LCD. Yerh plasmas are crap, expecially when it comes to burn in and dark lighting.

Don't plasma TVs also require like two weeks of special image pasterns playing on the thing before you can even use it?

I imagine LED TVs are the most reliable, it would only make sense, too bad they're so expensive :P

I don't own a TV. I'm very happy about this to be honest. It's the most unproductive product to date. It really makes me a zombie.

The only reason I have a TV is for games, otherwise I'd just go to the movies once in a while and save a ton on cable which is COMPLETE CRAP. If you're not watching cable TV you're missing nothing. But it was stupid of me to say I hate movies because nobody hates movies.

Anyway check out my vintage audio set up I put together for about $130 (most expensive thing being the headphones)

80's CD player and headphones, 70's receiver and speakers

thirty year old receiver still works and it's American MADE what a surprise

Oh and here's something cool about HDTVs, you can hook vintage audio equipment to it, can you do that with an 80's TV Sekto? That's a pretty potent mix my friend. You could not get this kind of set up for ANYWHERE NEAR $130 in a store, which is bad for students and broke ass motherfuckers like myself.

Yeah, I expect LED sets are going to have a GREAT service record in the field because of their low power consumption, low heat combined with the reliability of the LED.

OH MY FUCKING GOD, what a cool setup. NICE Kenwood.

I'll have to post pix of my Hi-Fi setup.

Hey thanks man, that receiver weighs a ton! Oh and the speakers are Advent Minis they sounds great even though I have them on the floor right now (need to get a piece of furniture for all my stuff).

Oh apparently those audio jacks existed long before HDTVs my b Sekto(can't remember what they're called)

Beginning in the 1930s those type of jacks were technically referred to as 'phono jacks'. For some reason today the name 'RCA jacks' has stuck, even though every manufacturer was and is using them.

Ahh did not know that, I'm a novice audiophile and when I had an SDTV I never got a chance to look behind it because it was just too big and took up the whole cabinet.

Which type of TV do you prefer SD or HD?

In the 80s, having seperate A/V jacks was a very expensive option and only came on big sets that were going to be hooked up to laserdisc players or something.

I only own SDTVs.I think HD is a visually wowey and impressive but it's just something else to spend your money on. I like my audio more than my video. :)

I never knew 30 year old equipment had DVI and HDMI ports! I thought these ports were relativity new?

My great grandma has a 14in CRT from the 70s which states it is "High Definition. I had my self a small chuckle.

I dunno whats all the hype wıth 'LED TV's'. Honestly it's not even a real LED TV, but a LCD TV wıth LED backlıght, IMHO they are better only ın that, that they are very thın. I use TV only for Dıscovery Channel, Natıonal Geographıc, and my Wii. Only HD thıng I own ıs my PC monıtor, that my parents gave me on Chrıstmas, and I don't really watch anythıng HD, only thıng I saw at the tıme is Avatar HD traıler.

30 year old equipment doesn't. Hazel just has his old equipment hooked up to his modern hi-def set for the sound.

Yeah, there was a point at which color CRTs stopped using a 'delta' phosphor pattern and started using an 'inline' phosphor pattern. If you look really close at most modern crts, you will notice that the phosphor dots are in a straight line right-to-left RED/GRN/BLU/RED/GRN/BLU, etc. Delta pattern CRTs have the three color phosphors 120º in a circle with one another; basically, in a triangle.

The new inline guns came about in the 70s with the advent of Sony's Trinitron picture tube, followed shortly my Mitsubishi's Diamondtron and thereafter by other imitators. That's what High Definition meant.

Then you must weep when you go into to the store and see AMPs that are made primarily for TVs and weigh about eight pounds...and also sound shitty.

Well yeah, that and so-called "car audio" amps that do nothing more than cause yours and the car next to yours' emblems to rattle off. It's just amplified distortion. I could get an appreciably similar effect by listening to a a set of nice speakers that have been overdriven and blown out.

Yo, Turn that shit up!

Is the world such a bad place to where we need this type of (and other types of) constant distraction?

Sorry, I meant "constant entertainment."
