Just want to gauge opinion on this little TV

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

That's nice but rather expensive for what you are getting. For just a little bit more $996.99 you can get a nice Insignia® - 42" 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV.

Fool, the man don't want something that big. Unlike titties, bigger ain't always better. :P To be honest, I think gaming is best played on a TV 32" or smaller, unless it is in a living room. Makes me a bit nauseaus with anything bigger, especially with FPS, because I usually play 6 feet away from the TV in my room. "P

I bought the Samsung 22 inch. It rules.

I'd like to know that myself. It just up and vanished. I didn't show it enough love I guess.

Edit: Racket found him.

So, what IS this current icon, anyway? Sure, it's cute and all (well, sorta), but what is it? A mix of the Mole Man with the Mega Man hardhat?

Kirby, with the appearance of the Engineer class from Team Fortress 2, as drawn by VGCats.

Yup, that KWorld TVBox is fucking worthless. Worst picture I've ever seen. Anyone who ever gave it a good review must be blind. Deinterlacing artifacts, massive color bleeding on s-video and component even, and lots of noise too. And it's just a terrible upscaler. The image is extremely jagged, not smoothed out at all. $90 wasted.

I warned ya. :wink:

Anyway, when I bought one from Newegg way back, I just sent them an email saying how disappointed I was with it. I made it clear I knew it wasn't their fault, but asked politely if they could do anything about it. They were super cool and gave me an RMA for a full refund. Make sure to post exactly what you did here in the user reviewers. Hopefully it'll keep somebody else from getting the same buyer's remorse.

I never told you you we're wrong. I just had to try.
