Posers' Coffee House, All Bullshit Accepted, Part VI
I pruned about 15 trees right to the ground when we moved in. No trees left on our lot. Now if I could only do the same for the neighbours!

Be right there Scott.....eh. We will be in the Kissimmee area on the 6th.
Samsung 65", smart (not really) tv, about all the bells & whistles. Picture is great, rich colors - thought my previous 10 year old Pioneer Elite 53" was good, but this one's way better. Netflix streams like Blu Ray. I actually got a 72" Vizio first, looked good in the store, but had a dim area in one corner. Had to adjust the picture (presets, but I had to make custom ones, presets didn't do it) for different Netflix shows and dvds, that kinda sucked. Older shows, ones not in widescreen mostly looked pretty low resolution, just too big a screen for standard square tv resolution. Don't watch much of that, but sometimes. The Samsung has one picture setting that works fine for everything, just like my old Pioneer, no pita adjustments for about every other show/movie.
When I took it back, paid a bit more and got the Samsung, no regrets. I thought I'd really like an 80", but the 65 is a better fit than the 72 was. I think the only tv that looked better enough to tell in the store was Sony, but they were a lot more expensive.
Mine has 3D, and it will show "3D" for everything (have to wear the glasses), but I don't really care for it, don't use it. A blu ray 3D disk might look good, if there are any. Not an option, get a high end set, it'll probably have it, but you don't have to use it.
Now if movie makers would just stop those extreme closeups they like so much, shows every hair a guy misses shaving and every imperfection in a gal's skin, some of em don't look too purty 8 time life size... photo off the tv.

Talked to a guy that worked in a shop that does repairs and sells TVs. Unlike these guys that work at the big box stores that just wanna sell you something. This guy seemed like a straight shooter and didn't seem to care if he sold or not. Anyway he said that these days Samsung is the best TV on the market, then Sony and Vizio is just a cheaper version of the Sony and not up to par with the rest of them.
Mornin gents. Site has been making me sign in the last couple days. Nice out this morning. 15 above.
Morning Tick. It does that to me if I sign in from too many devices (computer, iPad, Phone, laptop) I think that it can only take 3??
Sleep sounds good.... rough night at work. Feet are so sore I can barely walk. TGIF.... for me anyways.
