In Reply to: this is so much like the audio newbe questions posted by petew on April 03, 2002 at 07:06:06:
It's kind of difficult asking all the right questions when you're not as informed as some. Which I admitted. I did give a range of sizes I was interested in, and I don't think it takes an expert to know not to shoehorn a huge TV in a little room. I did say I was not interested in home theater, which was the best way I could describe I am only interested in basic programming i.e. no surround sound, etc. (my source is satellite by the way). I never asked who makes the best TV, but I was interested to know if certain manufacturers are better at certain technologies i.e. HDTV, wide screen etc. I don't think that's a silly question. Valid question in audio.I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to audio, especially analog and I see lots crazy posts. If I can help the person I will, without insulting him, or i'll just skip it.
Follow Ups:
you people who consider yourselves "pretty knowledgeable when it comes to audio" have a lot of nerve posting on a video site.how can you say "not interested in home theater" on a page called
Video Asylum???
are you insane?
go back to your vinyl playhouse
i'm telling all my imaginary video friends not to talk to you again
neyah!
audiophiles (especially those into analog) are not allowed to post on this asylum? Or maybe all posts should be cleared by you first to make sure they meet your standards. First you insulted me because I asked a question that you didn't approve of, they you insulted me because I am into vinyl, and then you even insulted another poster becasue of his well meaning response to my post (called it "crap" actually). I very clearly stated that right now I am only interested in the best quality picture, and which of the different types of technologies would accomplish that. I was simply looking for some info. on these technologies to best meet my needs. What is wrong with that? Who is to say that I will not get into Home theater? With "encouragement" from people like you, that probably won't happen. But who knows, maybe that's the way you want it. Do you lock non-videophiles out of your video room? or insult them when they don't know as much as you. I bet not. I welcome folks into my listening room so they can see what their favorite music can really sound like. The expressions on their faces is worth it. I still don't understand why people like you just skip over a post that they find so insulting or beneath them. Oh, one more thing, I'm always amazed at how "brave" people like you are hiding behind their computers. Would you have answered me or the other poster the same way if I was standing in front of you? Maybe you would have, but I can bet you'd be minus a few teeth right about now. Enjoy your video.
ok, so i mis-read your post.you said, > > "I am NOT into home theater," < <
and you took the extra effort to put "NOT" in all caps, which I mistook to mean you are seriously serious about no HT.
but, suddenly, mysteriously, without any sign from you or the gods, you've decided that we ought to have known that you might change your mind on this...
as it turns out, sometimes you don't always post what's really on your mind, isn't that right chris? and sometimes you read somebodies post and you take an entirely different tone than the one the author intended, isn't that right chris?> > "Any advice would be appreciated. " < < <
here's some advice you should appreciate:
"never assume malice before eliminating the possiblity of stupidity"
From your rather encouraging and truly informative posts, I'd say you have a few too many "imaginary friends".
the voices in my head just said, "Do as you are told!"why chris thinks i'm dising him only he can know...
the only reason i come to video asylum is to find out how to switch the video signal from sat. receiver to DVD without spending the next 20 years working towards a master's degree in electrical engineering...
anyone confused enough to imagine my posts factual let alone informative needs their head examined.
have you ever read any of my posts?
take this one for example...did you read this one? ha--fooled you--i didn't even write this post

Wow, as someone that makes his living in the world of home entertainment I am surprised by the unnecessarily aggressive comments to a simple question...fastidious at the very least. as I see it...it's not Chris that needs the help... It's you, to much TV...move away from that screen! If you don't like the post...if it's to far beneath you just skip it, based on your post's we all realize & fully understand that you have ownership over this site & anyone that posts to it. By the way, the aforementioned comments are rhetorical, you made mention of furthering your education so "I" will let "you" get busy...you clearly have lots of work ahead & I have no intention of keeping you from the realization of your goals!
...you did a nice job of answering chris' questionson behalf of all the folk at video asylum, we are thankful that you've shared everything you know about TVs in the 36 to 50 inch range.
