    yep... I'm officially jealous. I have yet to allow myself such luxuries. Do you mind if I live vicariously through you?

    Well...I'm officially a very lucky guy to have a wife who lets me blow $1600 on "toys". She said I'm done with toys for a long time and I can't blame her!

    Just as Chuck said...I too am jealous not only of having awife that gave you the go ahead for the purchase, but also for the purchase itself...have fun with it and definitely watch some great shows for me!

    Sweet.

    When can I come over to watch Nemo & Cars the Movie?

    Indeed, it is a TV to be admired.

    My incentive went to bills. Not nearly as fun.

    Peace,

    @Dad of Divas: Will do...watching some golf right now!
    @Babbo: Come over anytime! I need to get some sort of up-converting DVD player because my SD movies still look pretty poor...but, beggars can't be choosers right?

    Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I'm happy for your new toy and all the joy you will garner from it. Can't say I'm completely devoid of envy... being human and a male and all... but glad you were able to get all that great stuff! I'll definitely keep your setup in mind when the time comes for us to move up to the big time too.

    Yeah, I remember back when I got our new HDTV and our DirecTV HD-DVR. Like you, I stood and stared at the amazing picture. And then I sat and stared. And kept staring. I'm still staring now...
  • Tyler · 1 year ago
    @Tom: I'll be glad to impart any wisdom I can when you make the switch!
    @Kevin: Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Yea - I'm still staring...I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but I'm still amazed at how great things can look in HD. Even the Today Show is more interesting in HD!

    I have to say, I was a tad bit skeptical when my husband pushed for the HDTV but I've gotta admit, everything looks so much better in HD! (Well, everything except for Terri Hatcher on Desperate Housewives. Poor gal, the extreme detail isn't doing her any justice.) Congrats on the new purchase.

    Congrats on the new setup! I've had my eye on a new HDTV as well but just cannot bring myself to spend the money when I still have a TV that functions just fine. We do have a smaller HDTV upstairs that gives me a taste of what to expect, although as you mentioned also makes me not so eager when I view a standard definition channel.

    Enjoy the new TV and don't be shy about inviting the neighborhood guys over to share in your new toys.

    @Jen: I haven't seen her in HD but it seems like *everyone* looks more "real" in HD...There's no place to hide when there are that many pixels on the screen.
    @Derek: I really should invite some of the guys over. I'll keep that in mind especially when college football starts! Go Tennessee!

    I just bought a 37" Vizio and couldn't be happier so far.
