Fishooked Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Wed night I hooked up my new 42" Vizio, and goddamit this HD thing is the shizzle. I found myself watching, anything, as long as it was in HD. Even the horrendous football yesterday couldn't turn me away :headbang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergen Jet Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Now it is time to buy a PS3 for its Blu Ray player and the occassional game. Glad the TV worked out for you.

After I hooked it up I played Call Of Duty on it, and my jaw has been dragging the ground ever since. MY preference would have been to go Sony or some other high-end brand, but I just couldn't. I ended up getting this one for 999 with free shipping and no sales tax to boot! Not to mention it's also rated pretty highly on CNETs top rated LCDs, so that makes me free pretty good as well.

Jetheelz Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Comparing standard def to HD is like comparing a Pinto for a Mistang Cobra, I imagine I will be driving my pinto around for a while.

Fishooked Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thanks fellas! It really will feel like Christmas every time I turn it out. Hell, I justified it to the wife by saying how much money we'll save by staying in a lot more. Timing couldnt be better with the long crappy winter ahead.

anskyruben Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Congrats and welcome to HD. I don't even browse non HD channels anymore. Same goes for movies. If it's not on Blu Ray I have no desire. The NFL in HD is awesome ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anskyruben Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's an addiction. Then you start getting rid of every TV in the house and replacing it with HD . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishooked Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's an addiction. Then you start getting rid of every TV in the house and replacing it with HD . Hopefully not...we only have a 13" and 19" in the house that are barely used, but we're in HD on the 32" Sony and the new Vizio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal Jet Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The only way I could have seen the game in HD last week was to watch it in French. Same thing tomorrow!!
