I was fvcking with n8 but it's cute how you stick up for him.it's not like we're talking about bagged shredded cheese or already-cooked rice here!
No TVs or trucks too big. If I wanted tiny sh!t, I'd live in Europe!Americans complaining about large TV sets while driving 10L V12 Trucks.
Go figure...
I think you nailed it. Although, you could have inserted canada, california, or new york city for europe I imagine.How's that for redneck-ese?
I love it.No TVs or trucks too big. If I wanted tiny sh!t, I'd live in Europe!

BTW your comparison between big tv's/trendy drinks, and a healthy diet doesn't quite fit the bill although I see what you were trying to do.
i was referencing a thread in the beer/food forum (which, btw, wasn't related to healthy diet per se, but more about convenience) . you thought i was sticking up for him?I was fvcking with n8 but it's cute how you stick up for him.

so before, say, five years ago, the only way one could comply w/ this so-called standard would have been to sit about 3' away from the set?The TV is supposed to encompass something like 85% of your field of view or something.
Yeah, but I am the guy who shows up at teh Dh race in a 1000 dollar 4cyl truck with a 5k bike!!!!Americans complaining about large TV sets while driving 10L V12 Trucks.

Absolutly, sound can make or break a movie. Glad I am not the only one watching movies on the laptop in the car!!!!i think the sound is more important than screen size up for the most part. specially on the kinda of movies i like (wwii/war movies).
i´ve watched letters from iwo jima and saving private ryan on a 17in laptop screen, hooked to my car stereo (higher quality amps, speakers and a much larger subwoofer right behind us, along a smaller area and better acoustics i guess) and even in my ex gf opinion (who has no audio nerdiness at all) it was as good if not better than watching a movie in the tv room, even though one screen is about 13 times bigger.....
there are in fact, a few movies i´d rather watch in my car than in my tv room.Absolutly, sound can make or break a movie. Glad I am not the only one watching movies on the laptop in the car!!!!
Could you get a tan off a TV that big??panasonic will show their new 150" plasma at CES next week.
ill take a pic and post it up for ya...and you wouldnt need a heater for your apartment either.
Thats what I did in my basement for just over $2K (Projector, HD Screen, Denon 7.1 sound system, and all the speakers). Its 120" though. Game days and Movies can't get any better.I would love a 73in big screen in my basement
No, you went to a movie theatre.so before, say, five years ago, the only way one could comply w/ this so-called standard would have been to sit about 3' away from the set?
THX has established a two step process for calculating the best viewing distance for 1080p HDTVs.
Step 1: Measure the diagonal screen size
Step 2: Divide by .84
For example, an HDTV display with a 65-inch screen divided by .84 equals a 77-inch viewing distance (6.5 feet).
The goal is to have a 40° or less viewing angle. This provides the greatest combination of visual impact with sharp detail.
Take care not to place the display too high on the wall. Viewers should not have to look up more than 15°.
There are a few obvious factors to being able to detect resolution differences: the resolution of the screen, the size of the screen, and the viewing distance. To be able to detect differences between resolutions, the screen must be large enough and you must sit close enough. So the question becomes “How do I know if need a higher resolution or not?”. Here is your answer.
Based on the resolving ability of the human eye (with 20/20 vision it is possible to resolve 1/60th of a degree of an arc), it is possible to estimate when the differences between resolutions will become apparent. Using the Home Theater Calculator spreadsheet as a base, I created a chart showing, for any given screen size, how close you need to sit to be able to detect some or all of the benefits of a higher resolution screen.
You buy medieval weapons.Dang, I am so glad I am not "into" televisions.
It's all a bit silly to me, but it's not my money so it's not my business what you all buy. Of course that doesn't mean that I can't make fun of you for buying silly things.
And you all make fun of me for it.You buy medieval weapons.
Oh yeah? Well what if all you do is watch Richard Simmons and sweat to the oldies? Well then you'd be.. well, you'd be alot like Skaredsshiitlesssss... damn.. now where'd I put that photo!?!?! Anyway... Richard Simmons will improve your health!ok all these comparisons to how much we spend on bikes is silly...I bike will improve your health and physical skills...a tv can make you fat and lazy...count me as one of the people that thinks spending 5 grand on a TV is STUPID especially if you're renting....lol
You should get one, hook up a webcam and pretend Rob is really that big.^^ Wow, the fatties who sweat along to the oldies must look really fat on a tv that size
Clearly, going through the effort of setting up a home theatre to specific standards is generally not for television purposes. I have a big ass Tv, and i use it almost exclusively for playing xbox 360 games and HD DVD movies. 720P isn't too bad either, actually....No TV content (yes I know there is other content) is 1080p yet and you have to wonder how many 1080p sets can pass the muster at 1080p if you really tested their resolution.
Must spread rep...You should get one, hook up a webcam and pretend Rob is really that big.
do the movie theaters carry TV content?
Your wife will be that big in no time.You should get one, hook up a webcam and pretend Rob is really that big.
awww, don't be like that, I was just trying to have some fun.Your wife will be that big in no time.
LOL...sounds like you're raising veal!And while she looks big, she's only gained 16 pounds. I keep trying to feed her.
Yes, more people are doing more things with the home theaters today but watching TV followed by movies is still the vast majority.Clearly, going through the effort of setting up a home theatre to specific standards is generally not for television purposes.

You haven't been paying close enough attention.did loco hack your account? Cuz this aint the usual laura
You can see 1080p easily on much smaller displays you just have to be closer to the screen. They make LCD for medical usage (for xrays) that are 21" and do 5MP (2560x2048) native.1080 becomes "visable" from a scientific point of view on TV stes larger then 42".
