'Smile Time'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I have a 37" LG that works great and my parents are happy with their 32" LG. In my case a computer does the upscaling, but my parent's TV does it's own upscaling and it's fine.
I have no personal experience with any other brand, but I've never heard a bad word about a Samsung.
Yes, I know. But I wish it would be easier bringing up mobile pages on a laptop
Ahh. You can get an addon for Firefox that will spoof the user agent. I haven't tried it, but here's one: [link]
Vortex, I have seen that equation but am on the phone and googling would be bothersome. But you are not imagining. I think there's also one to compare your current size tv to what you want to get
isn't there some ratio for the size of the TV versus how far away you generally watch it from?
Yes, there is...but I don't remember what it is. t /not helpful
Oh, hey, here's one: [link]
Does Android allow you to do that, or do you have to set each ringtone and volume and vibrate setting manually?
I don't know if you still need this, ita, but DH mentions Setting Profiles Lite by Probeez (there's a paid version with more features, also) and Locale which is $10 but supposed to be really great. He's just starting to use Setting Profiles Lite, himself, should be able to report its actual usefulness before too long, but its theoretical usefulness is pretty nifty - you can set all kinds of conditions for your profiles: time of day, battery fullness, location, calendar keywords, etc.
Oh, thanks, -t. I'm interested to hear his evaluation.
We have a 32" and would go bigger. To me it's not big enough for HDTV and Blu-Ray. You're paying for it but not seeing the details anyway.
TB, do you require an online reader?
Now that I think about it, no. I take it an "offline" reader would be like an email client? It downloads stuff. Cause, Yeah that would be better in some ways. Stuff does not get deleted until I delete it? An offline client would be fine if it works better than Google reader.
My problem is that I love large screens for movies, but I loathe huge tv shows. So I went for a 32" and it's perfect for me.

I just installed this. It works great for Google Reader.
eta: This actually works better than using the mobile url for Reader that I mentioned earlier. With this add-on, Reader functions exactly like it does on my iPod Touch.

I'm thinking 42 (or 40 if I go with the samsung, which is where I'm leaning, because I tend to run electronics into the ground)
