Morning! I'm shopping for some good Black Friday deals on plasma TVs... Still not sure if I'll head out on Friday or if I'll try to order stuff online to pick up in the store (if they allow that).

Plasma? I haven't heard anything good about plasma. It consumes more power than LCD/LED, it is susceptible to screen burn, and they grow dark over time. LCD TVs are pretty cheap this season. You can get a 50+ inch one for under $1,000. Of course LED is now all the rage.
 
Met someone over the weekend who's had a plasma for 5 years with no problems. They said the key was to break it in properly. Plasmas are several hundred dollars cheaper than LCD and LED TVs. They've changed a lot since they first came out.
 
Well just got back from the body shop....Goes in Tuesday.....all the scuffs and blemishes are going to get buffed out all over the car.....Bro in law said does not need complete repaint.....going to paint the rear valance satin black!

I understand they are cheaper up front, but LCD TVs use 1/3rd the power (on average 300w vs 110w). That savings can add up if you watch a lot of TV. The article below explains how the average household will pay about $30 extra per year for a Plasma TV vs LCD. It's not much, but it negates the perceived savings of buying Plasma after you rack up utility bills for a few years. The article also mentions that plasma does have picture quality advantages over LCD...so if you don't care about annual cost, plasma isn't a bad option.

The New England Auto Show is next week. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it since we are closing on the house the 3rd and I have a concert on the 5th and somewhere in between we've got some painting to do....but I figured I'd remind everyone since we usually have a NEPOC gathering.

I might not be able to make the weekend but could do weekdays or eveings.

Yeah, I went thru the exact same calculations before I purchased my Plasma. Plus, the deal I got on it for the size that I got swayed my decision as well. I've been quite happy with it. Of course, I don't watch a lot of TV, so average household usage didn't really apply to me. My guitar amps tend to be on more than the TV does, and I know that those old Fender tubes use a wee bit more power than the TV. Hahahaha.
 
i got myself a 40" samsung led-lcd, uses almost no power and i love that about it. plus the picture is just amazing and its only 1.4inches thick.

also big thanks to james for mounting my snows tonight! one of them might have a slow leak since the rim was bent but im keeping an eye on that.


annnnnd, new camera came in today! just need to get myself into that instruction manual
