    I'd like to buy a TV... I actually was going to start a thread on this subject, but what is the best TV I can get? Shooting for around 55 inches because my living room isn't really big enough to fit much bigger, would be too close to it and get a head ache.

            If not interested in plasma technology and you have no budget:



            Sharp now owns the 'Elite' brand but has implemented their technology with LED. Previously, Elite was owned by Pioneer and they branded their sets as 'Kuro Elite', but those were Plasma sets (still top of the line).

            Biggest mistake most TV consumers make is buying a set that is too small. If the set is for a living room, you can easily make do with a 60" or larger. Keep in mind that you should be sitting no further back than 8 to 12 feet (max) from your tv in order to truly enjoy the effects of a 1080p picture. gl

                                Don't do it. My dad has a 22', which is basically mine now. What a pain in the ass/black hole money pit that thing is. Fukking endless repairs/maintenance/upgrades, not only for the boat but the trailer, truck, rod, reels, everything... They say BOAT stands for "bust out another thousand" and every owner out there knows its true.

                                On the positive side, chicks dig it. They always hit me up wanting to party on the boat again. And if you're into fishing, nothing beats a day on the water. Even if the fish ain't biting

                                    I couldn't find the price on their website... 8 grand? I thought I had no budget for my TV purchase... but how much better can an 8 grand TV really look compared to a 2-3K one?

                                      Car and a TV.

                                      15-18K for the car. Paying cash, no financing.

                                      Upwards of 4K for the TV. Would need a 55" or 60" LED. I currently have a 46" Sony Bravia, and would probably stick with Sony. Possibly a Samsung or Sharp. Throw me some ideas, and maybe change my mind about brand.

                                      Really no rush for either. Just something I may buy with in the next year or so.

                                          ok pass on the boat then. Thanks for the heads up.


                                          Maybe a motorcycle or jet ski then

                                                  to be fair this is a huge tv...but it's more than $100 per inch

                                                      Been looking into summer camps to send our daughter starting next year.

                                                      At some of the most prestigous ones, we actually have to go to an "interview" this fall. They want to meet all of us before you're even allowed to apply. Unreal.

                                                      Ridiculously expensive, but they are awesome. Unbelievable facilities & activities for kids. The best ones are basically prep schools for some great colleges.
