Not even trying
I hate both the Viqueens and the Cowgirls, I was rooting for a tie!
Bought myself an early Christmas present - a 65” UHD TV (I was a good boy this year ).
Like I really needed another thing to distract me from practicing the guitar.
Yeah, I didn’t need it either, lol. But I’m old and have so few things left to enjoy.Man, the prices are so low i've been tempted to pick one up just for the upstairs, even though I don't need it!
Pretty ridiculous whacking some guy on the head with his own helmet. Not sure suspension for the rest of the year is enough. I’d vote for a lifetime ban.The fight at the end of the Steelers/ Browns game was wild. Let's hope they can get control of this problem quickly.
I had a friend who had a DLP TV. Bulb kept burning out in it every couple of years and was like $300 or so to replace. He finally dumped it. These days you can get the whole TV for $300, lol.65" is huge, my brother has the 65 and its gigantic. Prices are so good these days I hear...
I was kind of in the TV biz for a few years pre2005, when TI made the DLP technology HDTV's...it was a Haleys' Comet of a cool mems device, but there was no competing with LCD technology obviously. I think the DLP TV's were $12,000 then breakthroughs in mfg got it under $3k and sales took off but died...LCD was just better and cheaper and better reliability...so the big customers like Samsung and others went LCD and dropped the DLP tv lines. DLP was kind of like Mini-Disc or ADAT Tape was to Recording pre-DAW era .lol
All I have now for audio is a soundbar....recently cut the cable, removed the DVD players/audio surround speakers, now its all Streaming and Netflix , AmazonPrime No Commericals!!...(and Free Digital TV "air" antenna for Football and Weather news). (gadwaful amount of commercials)
...98% of the time Streaming Netflix or Amazon, no commercials has ruined normal-tv for me. A person doesnt know how bad the bombardment of commercials is until you get away from it for a year or two...wow?

I had a rear projection TV. When I went shopping for a replacement I bought a new TV that I could have pretty easily thrown in the car and brought home myself. HOWEVER... I specifically made the store deliver it just because they offered to haul your old TV away. I don’t think the delivery guys were thrilled. Lol.In the late 80's I was changing careers and had to work in a warehouse at night to supplement my income. I would move large appliances to be delivered the next day. Refrigerators, washers, dryers, etc. The hardest thing to move were the rear projection big screens, the came packed on their own pallets. Shitty shit if there ever was, if you weren't directly in front of the screen, it was a blurry mess. I'm guessing I could pick up Dachay2tnr's 65" with one hand.
Next time a youngster tells you how good we had it in the old days, make them watch the sports on a 19" CRT, that'll put them in their place.
I actually get my live TV via streaming these days. I use Youtube TV, but there are 4-5 others available. Anyway, they offer an unlimited DVR. Record as many shows as your heart desires. The recordings are kept on their servers, so there’s no capacity issue (actually I’m pretty sure they just record one copy of everything, and then when you “schedule a recording” they simply grant you access to that recording).I dont really get the DVR thing, I guess for live tv. My brothers always complaining his is full. I just have streaming its always there to re-watch. Sure Im always a season behind, or a year behind, but Netflix and Amazon are making their own Originals so often there must be a BOOM Time in the film industry.... a lot of new jobs for actors I guess too. Netflix Making A Murderer and an ocean of docu's and indie stuff is amazingly good filming and the quality is as good as the big releases. Digital Cameras and Digital Editing I guess?
I had the chance/awareness to buy Netflix stock at $8....I thought at the time it had peaked out, max'd out and would go no higher. I didnt buy, now its at $320...$290 range....if I could only time travel.
