If it only plays that football game then it's a terrible deal.

That glossy bezel around the screen is annoying as fuck. It's why I got an LG instead of a Samsung.

 

[Mrs. Valve]

before he goes all chris brown on my ass, i have a glossy bezel around my LG. it's not really annoying. valve's just really fussy. i think LG and samsung are the two best brands for LCDs right now, and that seems like a good deal

edit: if you can, try going to your local big box store to check it out. look at it from every angle (sometimes the peripheral viewing sucks)

 

[Sarcasmo]

I enjoy a nice glossy bezel on all of my belongings.

The bezel on that Samsung is A LOT more glossy than yours or mine.

And the side viewing angle is the main knock on the Samsungs. Looked ok to me at Best Buy however.

jokes are becoming tough for sarcasmo during his long summer days

he can't wait for winter, when people are more easily amused

then it will be the year of the sarcasmo once more

it doesn't even list the contrast ratio. i know that may be a bs spec, but not even showing a number is highly suspicious.

i'll have to hit up BB and see what this issue is with the glossiness.

I miss theac.

I've decided to let this opportunity pass on the expectation that there will be better deals in the leadup to NFL opening day. Also, I might only get a 37"er. My viewing distance is only about 13 or 14 feet.

 

[Valve1138]

My viewing distance is the same, and I've got a 52"

perfect size.

37" would seem too small

i'm upgrading from a 21" CRT monitor. 37" is a big improvement. Maybe i'll consider 42", but i really don't want it to dominate the room completely.

 

[Mrs. Valve]

valve's tv is going to take up a considerable chunk of my wall when it arrives

 

[JAXvillain]

I would expect 120hz paying that much for a 40" these days

 

[G-Shock]

120hz weirds me out. I think 46" is a good size.

 

[snoogit]

120hz weirds me out.

explain.

 

[Jonny_B]

i've decided to skip out on any 120Hz, 2ms, 150k:1 bullshit. If it's a Samsung or an LG it'll be fine for me no matter how cheap it is. I'm still not that underwhelmed by the 700meg divx rips i downloaded when I used to do that sort of thing.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

oman I watched tv once
