Best Buy awesome deal Options

[impala454]

I hate to tell you this but you are soarly misinformed

somehow i don't think you really "hate" to tell me

Plasmas are NOT heavy. In fact, they are very light. I could lift a 50" plasma by myself. Huge? Umm they are flat panel...

your precious pioneer 50" plasma weighs 75 lbs. i'd love to watch you lift a 75 lb dead weight that's 48"x30"x4.5" by yourself.

DLP's are huge.

yeah, huge where it counts. screen size

burn in? dont be a retard and leave your tv on for 2 days straight

like zetec said stock/sports tickers and such will do it, but the worst are actually the network logos. and i didn't say plasmas easily burn in, i just said they can. DLPs & LCDs cannot burn in.

overpriced? they have come down in price significantly.

haha yeah they've come down in price significantly because they used to cost f'n $10,000. lets just do a quick compare on my "soarly misinformed" recent TV purchase and your electronics genius suggestion (Samsung HL-S6187 vs Pioneer PDP-4271HD)

Screen size:
Samsung: 61"
Pioneer: 42"

TV size:
Samsung: 38"t x 55"w x 17"d x 81lbs
Pioneer: 26"t x 40"w x 4.5"d x 63lbs

Maximum resolution:
Samsung: 1920x1080
Pioneer: 1024x768

inputs:
Samsung: 2xHDMI (one DVI), 2xComponent, 2xS-Video, 2xComposite, 2xRF
Pioneer: 2xHDMI, 0 component??, 2xS-Video, 3xComposite, 2xRF (i'm not sure if this is right, but it's straight off pioneer's website.. /shrug enjoy buying a new dvd player)

price (best buy):
Samsung: $2399.99
Pioneer: $2519.99

so for $120 more, you get nearly 20" less screen, the resolution of a $150 LCD computer monitor, and an extra couple square feet and 18 lbs of room to put stuff on the tv stand (tv stand space is such a huge problem nowadays). unless you plan to mount the plasma on the wall, in which case, enjoy the $400 wall mount and hope you have studs where you want your TV

Plasma technology has advanced a lot in the past 2 years.

howso? what display technology hasn't advanced a lot in the past 2 years?

Whereas the average lifespan of a plasma used to be 5 years...its now 10-12.

if you still have a TV manufactured in 2006 10-12 years from now you'll be in the stone age

The best LCD tv is no way as near as nice as a pioneer plasma.

you keep saying this but don't ever seem to say why. and whats w/the pioneer blowjobs? pioneer is good for two things (both car audio): 6x9s and head units

End of discussion.

what discussion?

If you think differently, then you are retarded.

oh, that discussion

[Aaron]

Psh, why the hell is anyone paying attention to a chick's opinion on electronics anyhow? That's like me arguing about drapes or something.

Anyways, DLPs ftw.

[impala454]

yeah... my bad

[zetec]

and I checked on best buy before I posted and most everyone that I saw weighed less than a 100. The 60" pioneer weighed 112. Im sorry you pussy asses cant lift that. Additionally, most tv's these days dont last over ten years regardless of the type.

And shut the fuck up, Zetec with your holy attitude. I know that I have had just about enough of your bullshit on these forums (ie closing threads because people insult each other). You act like a douche to people on here too and then act all righteous in here cuz youre a mod (*cough*when you pointed the finger at Jonathan for no reason *cough*). You dont see me closing topics in LRAR because someone talks shit to me. Go ahead, move this. I dare you. I'll make it my personal vendetta to insult the shit out of you for the whopping ten minutes that I get on here everyday.

jesus christ lady, quit crying because impala just owned you. what the hell is wrong with you, screaming at people and throwing insults around over a goddamn tv thread. seriously, you talk about mod responsibilities, then you fly off the handle and start crying over fucking televisions. whatever's up your ass, try squatting and maybe it'll fall out.

as far as mod responsibilities go, by the way, tell me, what exactly does a mod of LRAR even do?

Impala hardly owned me. If anything, its a matter of personal preference. Just because I dont respond for 20 hours, doesnt mean that I have been owned. Plasma's picture just looks prettier, at least the Pioneer. I know I harp on it, but its by far the best tv I have ever seen. You can call me an idiot all day for being a girl and commenting, but if I gave two shits about what anyone on here thought, I wouldnt post. I can tell you this plainly and clearly, if I was a mod of this forum, I wouldnt go around closing and moving threads because of arguing. Its all discussion and should therefore be treated as such. Go look at every mod thread... I have been in support of limited mod intervention all along. Crying, Screaming, Flying off the handle? Haha, hardly. I had a smile on my face while I posted that. You are a pathetic douchebag and I have no problem saying that proudly. You insult people for no reason all over techsans and then youre OH SO SWEET AND CARING LIKE MOTHER THERESA in here. Let me say this in your godly terms: Thou shalt stop acting like a pathetic douche in thine thread that thee modeth.

And by the way, I can lift 75 pounds of dead weight, Impala. Yeah, your DLP's are only like 15 pounds lighter. I really dont see that as a big difference.

I rest my case.

[impala454]

never said you couldn't. i just said i'd like to see you lift 75 lbs of dead weight that's 48"x38"x4.5" by yourself.

Yeah, your DLP's are only like 15 pounds lighter. I really dont see that as a big difference.

exactly... not much difference, except about 20% more screen space for roughly the same weight

jessica i don't understand why you're the one getting all defensive... i posted a link to the tv i bought and you had to toss in a "i would never buy that i'd get this cause i'm teh all knowing".

rocky summed it up pretty well i thought.

That Pioneer sucks jew dick in comparison



SAMSUNG 4 LYFE

i just went into slightly more detail

honestly i don't care what TV you like the best, but if we're gonna discuss it and debate it, you gotta explain your views... otherwise it's pointless. throw down some specs or something... tell us your reasoning why you'd spend the $2500 on the pioneer 42" plasma over the samsung 61" dlp (or even why you're pimping the pioneer TVs in general as "the best"). all i'm trying to do is understand your reasoning, and "because it just looks prettier" just makes you look even less informed in your decision.

[zetec]

jessica i don't understand why you're the one getting all defensive... i posted a link to the tv i bought and you had to toss in a "i would never buy that i'd get this cause i'm teh all knowing".

exactly! She's claims she's not going off on a tear, but she's the one that's calling people douchebags and claiming to be the Audio/Visual goddess. Oh be fearful her wrath, she'll cuss at you and call you names, be there a disagreement amongst ye!

Jessica, it's pretty obvious why nobody is taking your posts seriously in this thread (or many others): You treat every other poster like crap and pretend to know everything about anything. Maybe if you tried having a reasonable discussion, like, i don't know, maybe an adult, people might actually take what you say with some shred of credibility.


Honestly, have you seen anyone else calling each other names in this thread over some silly televisions? Don't you think you're getting a bit too worked up over this? It's just silly. You claim that you've posted all that with a smile, but that's not how it reads, ma'am. I don't know many people that spout all the insults you have with a smile, at least not people that aren't diagnosed with Turret's Syndrome or Schizophrenia.


Just grow up and try civilized discourse for once, maybe people will take you seriously.


edit:

You can call me an idiot all day for being a girl and commenting, but if I gave two shits about what anyone on here thought, I wouldn't post.

Um, see that strikes me as odd. It would occur to me that if you didn't care about what we thought, then why even bother posting in the first place. Or replying. Five times. Or even registering an account. It seems to me like you do care... If you didn't, you would have quit this stupid argument a long time ago, and saved everybody all the grief.


edit again: Oh, and please, provide me with an example of me inulting someone all over the place like you claim. The only incidents that come to my mind was when I mistaked Jonathon83 for John6.7, who's had a beef with me for a long time for some reason that he's never explained to me (I apologized to Jonathon, by the way. Something I've never seen you or will do. There's that acting like an adult thing again. You should try it sometime.), I called Impala names in that microsoft\apple thread a long time ago, but that was pretty much a hate-fest by all parties involved, and I think we're on decent terms at the moment. Aside from those two incidents, the only other people that I have insulted would be you and Will, and I defy you to find an incident where you two didn't provoke it by tossing out the first round of insults. Go check that alcohol thread if you need an example of that. And you know what, I'm not even bothering insulting you guys back anymore, because you aren't even worth it. You both go tearing across the forums calling anyone that doesn't agree with your ideas stupid, retarded, and a slew of curse words, and it only serves to make yourselves look like arrogant close-minded fools. You two must be soulmates. So, once again, if you have a recent link to me insulting people out of the blue for no reason that I haven't already addressed, please, post it. As to why you decided to bring up mod responsibilities in a television thread (actually it wasn't even about that, but I think that's the new topic), I'm lost. It seems like you're just grasping for straws, just like the rest of your arguments. Go watch your plasma, it's just prettier than this forum, and it doesn't care what names you call it.

see, heres a thing about women. they catalouge everything you have ever done to hold it against you.

so, using said womanlogic, you always insult people, always are a stoner, always etc.

you forget her birthday one year, then after twenty consecutive years of not missing a birthday she is still going to wonder if you will forget again and drop hints.

[DaveFireDancer19]

Thanks for the incredibly long and boring lecture that I wont read. Panties in a wad?

Youre still a douche, Zetec and Im waiting for you to close this thread for no apparent reason.

In other news:

I like your tv, Impala. I wasnt saying that I didnt. I was just showing that the Pioneer 42 inch plasma cost about $100 more and thats what I would go with even though its smaller. I really wasnt picking on you. I am excited for you and somewhat jealous....ok, really jealous! You are probably right that I couldnt lift something that bulky by myself because my arms arent long enough, but the same would be true of the DLP. Either way, congrats on the new tv. Just thought I would clarify that you were never my "target" like Zetec seems to have thought therefore chiming in with his incredibly useless and boring posts. I was just trying to make some discussion.
