Besides the 215 pounds weight, as truck drivers used to lift cargo of as much as 170 pounds; UPS has a weight limit of 150 pounds. These monster 70 inch RPTV must weigh a few pounds, so what *exactly* is stopping them from making the best HDTV that money can buy Direct View? Not that I would give up my trusty F-38. I have a minimum age 80~25 years from now.
I am 55 if I am 75, I will still have enough money to buy one big beautiful set.
With what I am watching on my RCA F-38310
I would want a bigger set than I have. Running the fan 24/7/365 and all other electrical devices (like Refrig) is costing me $27.90 a month in electricity compared to 27.83 for the month before new outer space tax 7¢.
I pay double for 2 phone lines than running the HDTV from 8AM to 2AM last night, mostly it's on from 8AM to 1AM so to all members and lurkers, you can see it won't *break* you in electrical costs. 2 phone lines are necessary because we have a electronic front door UPS, Fed-ex don't have keys they must ring us for us to let them in; we can't rely on webtv(failed too many times) for call waiting.
O/T what pisses me off is that I can only get 28.8 KPS from our stinking Verizon fiber optic phone lines, I have a ISP, but extra slow Verizon connects to ISP. In the movie Hackers in 1995 they were getting 28.8 now soon to be 8 years later I am still stuck at the same lousy connecting speed, cheap webtv will not sell us a device to get DSL. My biggest gripe besides no javascript or Adobe Acrobat.
I would love to get a webtv plus mod for DSL without their knowledge PM me with URL or DIY for faster speed, I'll pay a finder fee. Since it *fills* the F-38 screen on stretched full, why buy a computer that has to be upgraded to stay modern.
