OT: Need help badly - HDTV

[default]

I need some ideas on how I can convince Mrs. Ringer on a new HDTV. I'm falling behind the times here. We have a nice 56" standard def that won't die > I thought I hit the mother lode last fall when it went black, BUT, my DD's former sokker coach is a TV repairman and said, "Ah, I can fix it for about $150. I have all kinds of parts." Well he did and he cleaned the lenses and it looks great IN STANARD DEF!!!! Just another reason to hate sokker. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I took all the straps off the Wii remotes hoping for an "accident" but they just play PS3 Guitar Hero. What next?

I have two ideas for you.
A; Take it to practice so the girls can watch hitting dvd's then (slip) during a demonstration.
B; Take your wife out to dinner and let me know where you live and where the spare key is.

dude, let her talk to my wife....we have a 65" HD widescreen we cherish like DD's myspace...now, she wants to get a flat screen plasma to save room in the living room....woo hoo! plus, remind her that all broadcasts will switch to hi-def (teller something like next month, instead of 2009 or so when it really happens) soon and standard def just wont cut it..

If you have somewhere to go and watch ANY sporting event (especially bright colored teams!) in HD or watch Discovery Channels Planet Earth series in HD.............................She'll want to switch!

Worked with Mrs. retired_coach

During a power outage one year, my dear husband (won't mention any names) hooked up our generator, that I can only assume was generating a bit too much power at the time of connection as it BLEW UP every stinking electronic in the house, x-box, tv's, computers.....oh yeah.....it wasn't pretty. ?So, needless to say, we got a few new things. ?
So, at about 2:30am in the morning, you make your way to the breaker box, see....the electric mysteriously goes out.....you hook up that old generator that's about to spontaneously combust............or you leave the key where Chico can find it. ?The choice is yours.

If you have a PS3 you can tell her that Guitar Hero will look even better with 1080 lines of resolution!!!

Hey if I have two I can stop watching the small set in my room while the kids hog up my nice tv.( with their 1080 lines of guitar hero)

Well, Im a wife and my DH tried to kill our TV for years. Best Buy is running awesome Sales and we just got a 47" HDTV LCD. Original price was 2400.00 and after rebates and the sale they had, we left spending 1400.00 with tax. That was my selling point. I do believe the stores are running huge AFTER superbowl sales on 47" and up TV's.
BTW..Im enjoying this as much as my husband.

I was told not to get a PLasma if you play video games on it as it can burn the image in the screen. Just an FYI especially for Wii

Good Luck

What better way to spend that income tax return!

Seems to me you owe the sokker coach a favor, offer to allow an indoor session at your house.
Place net in front of the TV and allow girls to work on offense, while telling your wife the goal keeper really needs the practice.

Wow, we really see how devious the inner workings of a travel ball mind can be. Nice!!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Just bought a 42 incher , went shopping for a 26-32 but Sams club had a return for a great price so I snatched it up. Only paid 200 more bucks for the 42 VS what I was going to pay for a 26-32. This screen was for the kitchen. Long Story Short ---My Fam' watched "HOUSE MD" in the kitchen last night and rumors are floating around about moving the 1 year old 52 inch out to who knows where so the HDTV will have a home in the living room. The 1st week we had it we watched crazy stuff on the HD channels just because it was in HD. I'm no tech geek but the difference is huge.

The 1st day I was hollering at my wife ---"Honey come look at this weatherman" LOL MD

Hang a pitcher above the big screen and as you swing the hammer "accidently" take it out. Accidents happen all the time.

Load it up and bring it to my house when the wife is away. Gasp.... home invasion. New TV!

I told my wife that the eye doctor said a clearer pitcure would be good for my vision. So call it a perscription

"it's the mirrors"
of course, ringer, if you could fit that elephant from the commercial in your house, it would provide a nice visual!

Looking at my schedule, I think I can schedule a home invasion for the 16th. You'll need three guys to get the thing out.

 

[default]

Boy, you guys better hope his home doesn't get broken into... ;D

Set a coke on top of it and ooops.... ever try getting coke out of electronic boards????


good luck... Go with DLP better than plasma and should last longer.....

Promise her that you will get a vasectomy. It worked for me.
