SeskDes in next room. I have a brand x phone.

Honestly, not interested in Netflix et Al. I have certain programs I watch plus sports. I will explore what is available but don't want to spend retirement in front of TV. It's for entertainment and information, not my lifestyle.

What size and model did you get if you give me the model i can maybe get you some calibration numbers to calibrate the picture.

I got a Samsung on sale at Fry's. I wimped out and paid for them to install wall mount; I have the tools but have trouble sometimes finding studs. Not a problem if just hanging pictures but a problem if it's a TV, especially as my house sits on top of the Hayward Fault. They are installing as I speak.

And of course old TV started working again, but this is second time it's gone out for more than a day so I think it's dying.

Thanks for all the help. Come by and watch Blazers sometimes. I'll make the cookies.

When did you buy your Samsung? Some of the older Samsungs had a power supply problem that I am intimately familiar with. They used electrolytic capacitors that were erroneously specified. You've got to replace them wtih electrolytics with a higher voltage specification. It's an easy task. There's even a youtube video showing exactly what to do. That problem was corrected with Samsungs newer than four or five years ago.

I bought a 28inch samsung monitor to add to my pc (only 1080p), and its got by far the best picture of any screen in our house. Which includes 5 other monitors, a 4k tv and other 4k devices. I cannot believe how good the picture on that thing is... Its crazy.

Anyways was it a manufacturing error or a design flaw?

If you have a 300 baud modem you can send ascii art like this to the line printer at the computer center.

Cool
I'm such a nerd that I used to know all the askii keys in hex including the capital letters and numbers.

Samsung 4000 series, 32"

Lanny, I bought it yesterday.

Unfortunately didn't find any calibration settings for that model. Was the 5 series significantly higher as it's a full 1080p set where as yours is 720p. Not a huge deal with a 32" set though but the 5 series is definitely a step up. Enjoy your new set.

Nah that's fine for now. Toss it in a few years and go bigger. I was just looking at the frys promo codes and there were 75s for way under a grand.

I think I paid 1400 or so for my 65 a few years ago at costco.

I'd go buy something bigger now but I'm saving that money for changing to 4k on my projector. God of War on 1080p 135 inches is crazy fun as it is.
