Why must it be so difficult to go to a so-called electronic "specialty store" and see an actual TV that is set up at it's optimum potential?
How can a salesman repeatedly just walk passed a hi-tech unit and ignore that the picture is distorted?
Can they invest a few extra dollars and have HD content playing on these things, rather that the pitiful SD content?
Even the ones that are hooked up to Blu-ray -- is it just my luck that I always get there just when the disc is on the menu-part of the movie, and no remote or salesman nearby to get someone to "push play"?
We are soooooooo close to buying one. Took the wife in to get the final co-agreement and to make a decision between Sammy and Sony... but both looked like crap. I know (hope) home viewing will be another experience, but why do I have to purchase on "hope and faith"????
If I ran a TV store, I'd have every set tweaked to perfection ( yeah... blah, blah)....
Sorry for the rant. But dammmm.... CC, BB, and Costco make it difficult when your trying to convince someone that the 2.5 grand investment will be worthwhile.
Maybe we'll just use it for a down payment on a new BMW. At least the dealer keeps the birdcrap off the hood of the showroom models.
