Looks like I'm looking up that RCA cable to hook the croaking CD changer up to the amp ??!

I've got RCA cables coming out my ears, they're pretty generic I think.

Cool, what are you getting?

75 inch Sony Bravia 7. The wife wanted to go bigger

On one hand, that's awesome, on another, end of an era.

I have a 75 inch LG with matching sound bar. Very happy with the size. Bonus I can run BT to the soundbar. Bought a BT turntable to play my old records.

65 was more than adequate for our space but I think 75 will fit nicely. I'm home alone this weekend so I probably won't be able to get it hung up

where'd every body go?

A certain Meetup earlier, actually. Memory of Kyle.

Bumped into MD and TX

65" vs. 75"

Remember when I settled for a 17 1/2" Sony Trinitron because the picture quality was so much better than any 19". And it had toe-tal control. As in a row of buttons to select channels that I could reach with my foot and tap with my toes. Simpler times.

and you had to sit 6 feet from it or it'd hurt your eyes

hooligans doing laps on the local track today. they passed in front of me when i pulled out (formation tuck into the right hander). figured that’d be the last i saw of them. got about 5 miles in, and here they come, headed back the other direction, hell bent for leather. somebody forgot their wallet at the local bakery?

 

[tuxumino]

but can they dance?

yeah that's "like" flu symptoms or something. Should go away.

we had a really bad case recently, I fared the best, pretty much just one evening scratchyness. Still don't know what caused it. Being around too many little humans at a party? Very cold at the crappiest motel room in Tahoe the next day??? Never knew what causes these "colds".

One of my brothers drives a school bus. He’s always getting colds.

A lot of the decision on what size TV one should get is influenced by how far from the screen you will be when viewing it.

I do not miss heavy-ass, tiny screen CRTs. My home computer monitor is a 34" ultrawide

We've got a good 8+ feet viewing distance.

 

[ST Guy]

65 to 75 inches is what I would use at that distance. I have a 4K TV which is 65” at 8 feet viewing distance.

My friend came over tonight and helped me hang it. Pretty much perfect size. He also brought beers and Midwestern style loosemeat!
