Our new toy
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008So it seems that Dad couldn’t live without a functioning TV.
If you don’t know the story of our TV then let me explain. A few months ago our TV starting having issues. Black lines appeared on the screen out of nowhere and would come and go over time.
After a while they spent more time on the screen than not, and so making any serious TV watching hard to do. After a bit of googling Dad thought that he would be able to fix it, and so along with his trusty assistant they set off to pull the TV apart, resoldier some of the connections and put it back togther.
And to everyones supprise, it actually worked. Or so we thought….
Two weeks ago it started flickering, and got so bad that it was un-watchable. Even the trustry screwdriver and a false sense of ability couldn’t fix this easily.
So research began… This time we wern’t going to rush into a new TV purchase without thought, and after much research decided to settle on the 50″ panasonic Full HD set (TH-50PZ800A).
So enough ranting, here it is. The best feature is the built in HD tuner, so bye bye set top box. (and 1 less remote).
PS: The playstation looks MAD on this, I highly recommend anyone thinking of getting a HD set but wondering if its worth it to do so. MAD I say…
