QUALIA 006 Owner's Thread - Page 351

That sounds like a great idea. I bet you can also get Elmo into the Shaggy Dog when it opens

I agree with JA, it certainly led me to believe there would be a nude spread, namely hers, in PB

Well I suspect Elmo is much smarter than this fella though.

Good thing is.he can probably keep himself entertained without the need for someone else in the family to steal his bone.

I don't know which specific comment you are referring to but the one I made I stand by it. No put down to Mr. Umr, but if he can't see the green blob on SXRD's he needs to call his nearest eye specialist.

BTW, I have seen the green blob on a Qualia sitting in Magnolia hi-fi.

by Auditor55...........
I recommend that he get an eye examination ASAP!! In his business his eyes are the most important tool he has.

This would be considered a slanderous statement(to injure the reputation of another) suggesting incompetence due to a physical disability.

As umr derives his income from professional calibrations from some members of this forum, you may have impeded his right to pursue his professional livelihood which could be estimated in $$ by the harm that post did on the SXRD thread, thus providing some enumeration for damages incurred by your slander.

If I were umr, I would have you deposed. Then I would file a Civil Action Complaint against you in the State of Texas for the above estimated damages hopefully necessitating you to fly your arse to Texas if you're out of state*, then I would watch you squirm in the courtroom - (even if said damages were only a few thousand dollars based on the traffic on that thread and the % of estimated calibrations umr would have done without your slander)

KEEP IT UP ! and ..

If umr doesn't do the above, I have a mind to finance the whole situation on my own to teach you a lesson.

P.S.
I know of people that have been sued for much less !
*P.S.# 2
If you chose to ignore the whole situation then I would ask the judge to issue a warrant for your arrest.

LOL ha!ha!ha! that is most ridiculous post I've seen since I've been posting on this forum.

Please sir, you obviously don't know anything about tort law, you can't even establish a prima facie case for slander with that nonsense you are spouting.

BTW, I live California and not Texas, wouldn't the case need to be brought in Federal Court?

First of all, a Texas court wouldn't not have jurisdiction over me, I would challenge jurisdisction. I could file all my papers myself and represent myself Pro per against such a meritless claim. I'm an Information Resources Specialist at a global litigation law firm and have access to Lexis, Westlaw etc and other legal data basis to help me prepare for such as case, that is if it ever seen the light of day in court which is highly highly doubtful. After such an attempt to sue me crashed and burned, I would then sue on the grounds of bringing meritless lawsuit.

This is so silly but yet entertaining

KEY WORD--------------- IF


You've been around long enough to know that Jeff has commented several times that he has come across some 006s that had screen uniformity issues.

Then you set off penton man with his post and then you fire back. ALL, unnecessary.

I really don't like to come into this Qualia thread at all, but you have a Qualia owner who's been coming into the SXRD owners thread, stiring up stuff, even questioning if I even own the a SXRD. I have a TV sitting in my living room with the horrible green blob and purple tint issues, along with other SXRD owners trying to sort things out. I don't need people insulting my me by implying what I see doesn't really exist or is not an issue and questioning my honesty.

I agree that all of this unnecessary, but that whole lawsuit rant is by penton man is just silly, laughable at best.

I will be purchasing a non-Qualia SXRD soon and have recommended to friend that they purchase the unit. I didn't drop in on that thread as if I shouldn't be there...I have been on the non-Qualia threads since the beginning. I stirred nothing up other than to make my periodic stop over there to see if something other than the green blob is being discussed or if there has been some miraculous fix. Noone has ever denied the problem's existence and when members have stopped in here to ask if we have the blob issue, I think I have been the only one to indicate that recently I have been seeing an anomaly, although not as drastic as some photos I've seen, on my set upon first startup that quickly disappears. It coincides with my set's bulb getting near the end of its useful lifetime.

I asked, politely and in a non-accusatory fashion (and I'll admit that someone reading that can take it as an attack on you, but that should further illustrate the impropriety of your statement about umr), whether you owned a unit b/c I can distinctly remember you being on the Samsung 1080p threads as well, stating that you were buying one of those, so I just wanted to know whether you were speaking from first-hand knowledge.

That being said, your comments about umr, were off base and I simply pointed it out and tried to show you that his statement was probably misconstrued. Knowing that he is a professional, as Penton has pointed out, I though that such a comment should not go by without being addressed since so many people who are uninitiated around here stop into threads and read statements like that and then base their decisions on them. Much like many people probably haven't purchased the SXRD simply because of reading the issues reported here...believe me, that happens.

Penton simply took your extreme statement and turned it around on you to illustrate a point.

BTW, many of the owners here in the Qualia thread ARE lawyers, not that that really matters.

Oh, my goodness, now I'm REALLY impressed, is that one step below a pre-law student at Freeway Univ. along the side of the the 5?

Are you sure that job title even justifies capitalizing those 3 words ?

Anything to waste your time at .....................Work?

Exactly Ben, but some people's role in life is simply to gather information for other's to analyze as they are incapable of higher brain functions......such as THINKING !

Fine, then go away.

An Information Resources Specialist I know whose typical day at work consists of this..

http://www.whoomp.com/articles/200/1...-Office-Video#

on his good days!

Yes, you are right. When power outages occur, it's power down time. Lots of outages in my part of Houston whenever we have an electrical storm. Usually short duration, and lots of "breaker bounce". It's a belkin UPS, non-sine wave.

Well it appears that HD DVD has a 2 month lead - they are supposed to actually be out at the end of this month...

http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/03/02/toshiba_hddvd_launch/

What do you all think? Is it worth jumping on the wagon with the first run? Or should we hold out for a bit more bug free version - I know I am leaning towards the 500 dollar version as the 800 doesn't seem to have any technical advantages and I imagine that these first gen players will be pretty darn obsolete soon.

You need to keep in mind that Blu-ray just announced they would roll out players and dvd's on May 23. Do you buy a Toshiba and then find out in a year that Blu-ray wins the battle of the formats? Who will have the most software available, etc. To much unknown at this point. IMHO

The way I see it at present is that I will end up owning betamax and vhs most likely. Luckily the PS3 should give me a cheap seats entry into blu-ray but with various studios jumping on different wagons it seems owning the HD DVD as well will let me catch as many movies as possible. I don't expect this to be a quick fight.

I'm holding out a little longer, but should explain my reticence at jumping on the latest bandwagon...

First, I've already come off a bad Algolith trip. I was very early on the pre-order list for a Dragonfly/MosquitoHDMI combo, and still have a very bad taste in my mouth...

Second, I think I'll try and maximize the enjoyment of my DVD collection just a little bit longer. My Pio DV-59AVi is looking very good these days and I'm on the prowl for a good used Denon 5910 -- which would keep my collection looking good for some time to come (or until LOA makes it to HighDefDisc).

Third, we've been experiencing bizarre times around Chez Elmo as of late. Six months of bizarre stuff, really, and we are NOT up for anything that adds to the complexity or drama. Knee surgery was tough enough, but we've had triple bypasses (my Dad), open-heart surgery (my 12-week old niece), failing refrigerators (at least it waited until the exact day we returned from Hawaii), failing toilets (one partially flooded our kitchen situated in the room below), astonishing cabinet install where every sub (electrician, wall texture, paint) screwed up big-time -- we're talking a disaster of biblical proportions; human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria... Wait a minute, guess I got just a tiny bit carried away there at the end...

On the other hand:

There are people who have it much worse...
I have an amazing wife and kids ...
Elmo loves me, this I know...
I get a daily dose of Qualia Therapy each evening...
I ask for directions whenever things get too confusing...

LMAO

My wife is an attorney. I will have to ask her to study his comments. I have him on ignore so I don't see them.

Fabulous.

I suggest that you ask any people in the future that are AVS forum members who may have originally had a calibration appt. with you.......and cancelled this appt.- if they did so - based upon their reading of the negative post made by that troll........then we can stuff his prima facie where the sun don't shine !

This may cheer you up....................

(again if there is an ad at the beginning, just skip it by pressing on the button....an "Information Resources Specialist" taught me that !)

Note:
In case there are any German Qualians out there, this is not meant to be offensive as I truly hope Germany wins the World Cup this year.....esp. since their coach has a home in Newport Beach. .......it's all in good fun.

That's not a bad plan but, why not wait untill you see exactly what TITLES are available that you know you like.

You may find yourself saving some money if HD DVD's offerings prove to be very anemic.

I agree with brt, holding out a tad after their launch may be a wise decision, as I expect prices(Blu-ray machines) to significantly decrease after a few months.

Caveat #1
As I've said before, all the above is meaningless once one of you jokers buys some Hi-Def player and brags to us how great J.A. looks in high definition....or L.o.A. looks blazing across the dez.

Always good for clearing the mind.

I will later tonight, I just have to get the following off my chest.
(see below)

To any Qualians or other viewers of this thread that are unaware of the behavior of our most un-welcomed visitor on the last page, I feel compelled to enlighten you.

If he is not the #1 troll on AVS forum then he is actively competing for a podium position in that category.

His posts generally range from outright insults to veiled innuendos intending to provoke owners of some display or video component.

I suspect that he has cleaned up his rhetoric to socially fit-in on what is apparently his home thread (the baby SXRD thread) but, it seems he slips back into his true nature with off-the-cuff comments like that about umr.

Suffice to say, I will sleep extremely well tonight knowing that I/we contributed by making glowing comments about our 006's (which I'm sure influenced him - even if he denies it) into his purchasing decision to buy a baby SXRD..which, in his case, turned out to be a dud . real or imagined.

As long as I/we contributed to his misery, there IS justice in this world.

Here's hoping that someday a U.S. Marshall serves him with papers regarding some current/future behavior at his place of employment for all to see .so he never achieves that promotion to.


Information Resources Specialist Grade II.

Hey PM,

Isn't that a fancy name for a guy who stands around the water cooler all day

Just wanted to say this once and for all, since certain people have been putting the a-s-s back in aspersions...

I have been getting my displays ISF calibrated for nearly ten years now. In that time I've used 3 or 4 techs, and have also taken the ISF training course at Runco HQ in Hayward.

Jeff is -- far and away -- the best ISF-tech I've ever dealt with. He has superb technical knowledge of both the sets he works on and the computer software he writes to help him optimize his calibration technique. Above all else he is a genuinely nice guy who is extremely easy to work with, one who's never heard the term "prima donna". A lot of these guys think they're doing you a favor; Jeff always treats you as a valued client.

Perhaps those who live in glass houses might want to reconside casting both stones and aspersions. Whether or not you call someone a hack is not the issue here. The poster seems to have no personal experience dealing with Jeff, and -- instead -- simply misconstrued something Jeff posted. As such, I think he owes Jeff an apology, though that's unlikely to occur.

O.K., can we return to our regularly scheduled programming now? Let's remember that the flame wars nearly killed this thread, and cost us a couple of valuable members in the process. Just say NO to trolls!
