It's a hotmail account. I'd just ditch it.

I wouldn't worry about it. it's the problem of those who received it, not yours

Hotmail help said all I had to do was change my password. I think it was one of those VA Commonwealth cocksuckers.

interestingly enough I got an email yesterday to my hotmail account addressed to eCat. That was a first

Mr. AugustWest:

What is the appropriate amount I should expect to bend over and pay for a 32" 1080 dp TV?

Sincerely,

Cheapskate Consumer

32lk450 for $378.00

Question for the big shots at this place...Cletes, eCat, etal in particular...shall we archive some threads by year? I think we should archive the sports threads by season (new football thread in February, new hoops thread in April, etc), but do we want a new thread for the other big ones (like this thread for instance) every year, or just fuck it and let them grow forever?

you can get a 42-inch LED for that much right now. well, you could have the day after xmas at Bestbuy.com.

at some point I would guess these large threads become a performance issue but it doesn't seem to be one now.

HH Gregg had some pretty good deals

32" noname brand for $237
37" noname brand LCD for $287
32" Panasonic Viera for $317.00

some movies have the black bands built into the digital transfer. it's called letterboxing ans is a way to make 16:9 ratio movies fit onto a 4:3 ratio screen. there's nothing you can do about them. likewise some commercials are still in the old format. that being said, there are buttons on the remotes for both the tv and your cable/sat box to adjust the picture so the screen is filled.

...but keep in mind, doing that cuts off a portion of what is naturally broadcast on the screen.

Unless its a plasma, don't bother.

I keep my picture option on "cinema" and don't mind that peoples' heads get cut off at the eyebrows. It's my way of having a 37" instead of my 32". I nearly went online and bought a 42" right after xmas but calmed down long enough to convince myself it could wait until I find out how much it'll cost to fix my Sienna. Or put in new windows. Or get my house exterior painted.

The tv is for the boys and their gaming. They currently have an old tube tv in their room which sucks with ps3 and the new games, so they have invaded the family room tv much to the chagrin of their mother and sister. I need to get the tv to maintain peace and my sanity. 32 inch is about as large as can fit in their room.

44 sucks...

Augie probably knows better than me which tvs go better with gaming. Which ones burn into the screen and whatnot if you leave them paused for awhile.

plasma pretty much isnt an option at 32" anyway. go lcd for price led of picture quality. neither one will burn in.
