TV?

How's the viewing angles on the LCD TVs? My LCD monitors tend to discolor if you move 40 degrees off center. :o

The LCD from my bedroom is fine from side angles, just not great angles above or below, so it needs to be as close to eye level as possible.
 
TV's... let's see...
Start with the favorite: Mitsubishi X300 front projector in the theater room to a 108x63 screen.

Now for the most used: Sony HDWega 400 36" in the study - when I'm home, it's on.

15" Mitsubishi flat screen in the kitchen.

25" Fisher monitor in the master bedroom - old but great pic still. This one is probably going into my in process arcade cabinet. Thinking of replacing it with a 27" Sony Trinitron (largest that will fit in the wall unit).

25" Hitachi in the garage (beater).

27" Sony Trinitron in the pool room.

25" Hitachi (I think) in the barn.

13" Sony in the motorhome.

13" Sony Trinitron in the master bath.
 
TV in the bathroom makes me think of the Man's Bathroom they did on Home Improvement. That thing was awesome.
 
That episode of Home Improvement was JUST on tv yesterday! lol

I like the idea of a tv in the bathroom, maybe mount a lcd in a sealed plexi-glass or polycarbonate(both readily available in clear) plastics. Maybe it's something I'll look into in the future.
 
Well, in this case the barn is a pole barn - cows are optional.
More of a shop and the other side is for storage of toys and junk to build nutty projects.
 
I have a 65" HD Phillips Rear Projection in the living room. Has a great picture, and has the DVI in on the back supporting 720i and 1080i, will see how well that works when the cable I ordered gets here in a few days and I plug my MCPC into it :)

I purchased it at a company called "Badcock Furniture". That is the family name, and from what the sales people tell me, they get a lot of comments from customers hehehe. Especially, when their web address is badcock.com! There are a lot of stores in the area, and when you see the trucks all the time, you get used to the name. When my sister was visiting from Michingan, however, and I got the bill in the mail.............. you get the idea!

Anyhow, they are all over the south-east. They offer VERY flexible in-store credit. Put 10% down, and they will give you 6-12 months financing with NO interest whatsoever. If you go past the alloted time, and they will just start charging interest on the ballance till its paid for.

There are a lot of locally operated furniture stores out there that offer similar financing. Most of them will let you pay$40 here, and $100 there, till its paid off, and will not come after you as long as you are making some sort of routine payments. Its a great way to make a large purchase, and leaves you paying for the cost of the item, and not 2 1/2 times the cost after interest fees.

That'd never happen in New York...
 
52" RPTV Sony in the Family room
62" Widescreen Toshiba RPTV (62hmx84) in the new Basement Home Theater

Purchased the 62" TV from a local electronics company (Ra-Lin - for those from CNY). I buy 90% of everything online, and was shocked that I could get a better deal locally even after taxes. Of course that's primarily due to the shipping cost, but they were actually cheaper in price as well than any other authorized dealer on the net.
