well,I did it...projection big screen went out bought a 50 inch plasma

[John_Locke]

suprised the whole family.

our Big Projection screen bit the dust, and I brought the 27 inch to the living room and told the family that they woudl have to be satisfied with this for now becasue there jsut wasn't money in the budget for a new TV.

They handled it like troopers and I went to the tv store and got a 50 inch plasma

Vizio is a brand that Costco, Sam's Club, and Circuit city all carry. They look pretty good for a while. One of the buyers I deal with said that they have about a 30% return rate on them becasue the picture quality is so poor when people get them home- Standard cable or SAT being the culprit. They look good in the clubs because they usually have at least a 720p feed. If yours is working well and it looks good then congrats you got an awesome deal...

And if you knew WHAT THE fuck you were talking about, you'd know that a well calibrated use of Avia is so damned close to what an ISF calibration is that you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference...but after all, those tech's use a "30,000" dollar piece of equipment, right? Or was that just you talking about of your ass again?

You'd also know that most people who pay for ISF calibration are beneficiaries of the placebo effect, but I'm sure...positive that you can tell a difference.

You sound exactly like every jerkoff I've ever heard who espouses the benefit of shit like Monster Cables and Speaker Wire, when in a double blind test you couldn't even tell the difference between said speaker wire and a goddamned lamp cord.

Oh the torture.. The jaded electronics salesman... and we thought you were all but extinct. Monster and Sony must have really screwed up your SPIFF program right before Christmas!

It's all about marketing mister...

It is all about marketing, and that's why 99% of the people out there are fucking morons when it comes to choosing the right components. They think that a commercial has their best interest in mind. It's kind of like basting yourself in chum and dropping yourself in the ocean and then acting surprised when you get your ass eaten off.

It's funny to see you continuously not address the fact that the ISF calibration is part of my warranty, a warranty which replaces faulty parts, of which I've had 3.

And I didn't say a word about monster cables or speaker wire. So you can stop looking down your nose at me. This false bravado tells me I already know more about this than you do.

So you've owned an RPT for six years, and you know nothing of other formats despite owning a DVD that is generally only known about in videophile circles, and having specialized calibration that costs 300 bucks a pop and is done very few places around the country...and yet you know nothing....

I'm going to take you on a journey called reading comprehension lane

Our first stop will be analogy: Over here we have Monster Cable, the biggest piece of shit ever marketed to the electronics consumer, beside it we have ISF calibration, something that htismaqe doesn't want to pay for even though he *KNOWS* how well it works, even though at best you are paying $300 for an infintessimal improvement in picture quality that the human eye isn't going to perceive.

On down the road we have dumbfuckery lane, where our same hero still presides. He claims that he can't do 56 point convergence because it voids his warranty, and then later runs his mouth about knowing how to do both 9 and 56 point convergence, even though the use of 56 point convergence would directly negate the warranty that he has spent so many posts, and time, protecting.

Moreover, he claims to be too busy to do said calibrations even if he wanted to, yet consistently runs his mouth on her about not doing them, when in the meantime he could have done it twice.

And riddle me this: How does one get a 6 year warranty on an RPT set when the industry standard is no more than 5? We know you haven't had your entire set replaced, because you've already mentioned all the repairs done to said set...and that generally most warranties replace after three repair attempts.

You are completely and utterly full of shit. You don't know your elbow from your asshole, and the "support" that you have given for your argument basically consists of you trying to google up whatever info you could muster in order to save your fragile ego


Oh and here's the topper:

From your last post:

And what is this at post 75?:

Well we know that there are 9 point, 56, and ISF calibrations and that 9 point is definitely not ISF, you say as much, and then later say that you can have ISF done, but then claim not to want to spend the money out of pocket for it?

Are you going to keep lying to cover your dumb ass? If so, I suggest you switch from a shovel to a backhoe. The ground gets harder the deeper you dig your hole.

Honestly, it's that i care about *this* particular topic, it's the douchebag who keeps changing his story to suit his argument. I'm tired of him running his mouth about his knowledge on everything from the draft (see Draft Planet) to technology to this kind of stuff, and then claiming to be a humble guy...

I'll tell you this much: I'm an arrogant prick, but I own up to it, and I can back up my knowledge. That's why I don't have any respect for that piece of trash, he thinks that just because he's a mod that his opinions are somehow valid without him providing any proof for them. He's basically Hootie with 25* more posts.

I don't know anything about plasmas, which were new when I bought my RPTV. And I don't know anything about LCD's, which weren't out yet. I bought my Avia DVD based on a recommendation from someone HERE. Keep talking, it's fun to watch you act like a child.

I know how to do them because I read the same websites you do. And that's all you are. You know how to use Google and that makes you an expert.

Moreover, he claims to be too busy to do said calibrations even if he wanted to, yet consistently runs his mouth on her about not doing them, when in the meantime he could have done it twice.

I said I didn't want to do them. Inventing things to fit your story is pretty funny.

And riddle me this: How does one get a 6 year warranty on an RPT set when the industry standard is no more than 5? We know you haven't had your entire set replaced, because you've already mentioned all the repairs done to said set...and that generally most warranties replace after three repair attempts.

One gets a 1-year manufacturers warranty and a 5-year extended warranty. 1+5=6 Said warranty replaces AFTER 3, meaning they replace when you need the FOURTH component breaks.

You are completely and utterly full of shit. You don't know your elbow from your asshole, and the "support" that you have given for your argument basically consists of you trying to google up whatever info you could muster in order to save your fragile ego

I ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT PLASMA VS. LCD. This is too funny.

Well we know that there are 9 point, 56, and ISF calibrations and that 9 point is definitely not ISF, you say as much, and then later say that you can have ISF done, but then claim not to want to spend the money out of pocket for it?

Are you going to keep lying to cover your dumb ass? If so, I suggest you switch from a shovel to a backhoe. The ground gets harder the deeper you dig your hole.

ISF calibration is REQUIRED in order to avoid voiding my warranty. It is not covered by said warranty. I bought my warranty from a local boutique and apparently I'm a dumbass for having done so.

All of that is irrelevant when you consider my original question had nothing to do with the RPTV I'm wanting to eventually replace.

But watching you act like a spoiled child has been quite entertaining.

You've got a thing for me. How quaint.

I got attacked for asking a question, and that's why I'm engaged in this discussion.

I don't much care about it though...

But watching you act like a spoiled child has been quite entertaining.

First of all:

Plasmas had been on the market for almost 3 years when you bought your RPT...you're wrong again.


Manufacturer's and extended warranties DON'T overlap, but since you claim to have bought it from a boutique, I'll actually let you get away with this lie as well, claiming that the salesman ignored every standard in electronic marketing to give you a good deal

But, let's move on...

So then, how can one do 9 point calibration and dust removal every year and still have a warranty...that's not ISF calibration...therefore, you wouldn't even have the warranty that you speak of...

Moreover, why would one want an extended warranty that offers them 9 point cleaning service that by a definition of it having been done would void the very warranty that it is included in? You're a fucking reerun, and I'm fully confident in making that statement.

I'm the spoiled child? You're the one talking out of your ass because you are too much of a coward to admit that you were wrong

It's not that I have a "thing" for you, although that would fit the god oomplex you seem to have around here where you think that your football opinions are inscrutable, and that anyone who challenges said opinions is either mentally unstable or reeruned.

You're wrong here just like you are wrong about most of your football opinions.

I'm sorry, but someone claiming to know about the intricacies of ISF calibration and not the slightest thing about LCD and Plasma, despite claiming to read various forums that I do, would be like a cardiologist not knowing what the little sacs that hold air inside your lungs are called (yes, they are slightly different, but the sheer amount of material that you would pick up through osmosis would preclude you from not knowing this)...once again, you are completely and utterly full of shit....drink some Mag Citrate and call me in the morning
