I know this is an older thread, but why start a new one? Anyway, I'm moving into a new condo soon that has a couple choices for TV placement, either above the 4' high fireplace, or along the wall to the right (where the current owner has his projection TV). The living room is small, so by...

Good choice! I have a small living room, sit about 7' from my TV (currently a 42" RPTV) and have a 54" plasma on the way. It's gonna be HUGE! LOL!!

The various AVS console forums seem to be fairly civilized... there are some trolls but nothing as bad as most dedicated game site forums. I'll have to check out LCVG, I don't think I've heard of it.

Hopefully they come out with a more affordable monitor that includes the MagSafe power cord... I'd buy one like that in a heartbeat... as long as the tri-headed cord could reach the DVI - Display Port adapter on the other side of the machine. I'm going to try to make my MBP I have now last a...

Likes: Looks - My current MBP has a matte screen, and I still think I'd prefer that, but the new glossy display with the black bezel does look really good. The small changes they made to the whole package all work for me. User replaceable HD - My one big dislike of my current MBP is that I'd...

I watched S1 awhile back on rented HD-DVD... really hoping this comes to Blu-ray ASAP as well! Supposedly the local cable company is vastly upgrading their internet service in a few months (new fiber optic link to the lower 48), so they may drop the transfer limit. If they do, I'll be tempted to...

Sorry to hear about your loss. I can see just from your post that you were great companions! I've had a few cats over the past several years. We lost a couple at only 3 years (one was hit by a car and the other got some sort of cancer), and a couple of others that made it to 13 and 15 or so...

I think having the girl lip sync was pretty lame, but as far as I know, the only CGI's part of the fireworks was the aerial shot with the "footprint" fireworks leading up to the stadium, which I realized was CGI when I first saw it. I think Bob Costas even said as much during the broadcast, so I...

I may go see this, the preview before TDK was really funny, and I'd pay $10 to see RDJ play a black man!

Good luck with that!

I agree, I was very surprised when I learned there was a new X-Files movie coming out. I didn't even know up until a couple of months ago. It's been off my radar for so long, and I was a big fan of the show and very excited when the first movie came out. I even have the soundtrack for it! Not...

I've still only seen the first one. I have the others in my Netflix Queue, but for some reason they don't have Saw II in Blu-ray, which I'm kind of waiting for before watching it. They have 1 and 3 and 4 in BR, just not 2...

After you said this, I went back to read the first few pages of discussion myself. So what do Bill GrandPre and Charles LaSalle have to say now? ;) Not that they were the only ones predicting lower grosses, but they seemed to be the most vocal about it! I knew it was going to make 500...

I guess I needed to read the fine print before I even bothered going to the AT&T store. I signed up with my current AT&T contract 6-8 months ago, not an iPhone, so apparently I'm not eligible for the $199/$299 price. I'd have to pay $499 for the 16 gig phone I want. I didn't realize this before...

Just getting back from Wall-E, I'd say Ratatoullie is still my favorite Pixar movie, but I've seen that one a few times. Wall-E is definitely near the top of the list though. I'll watch anything Pixar makes... really, the only one that doesn't hold my interest is A Bug's Life, and maybe Cars...
