'Bring On The Night'
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!
TiVo will do Instant Watch too, as well as Amazon, I think, and maybe Blockbuster. And Premiere will give you even easier access to all those sources than my Series 3, which puts it all out there pretty much.
I have an LG, which I'm pretty happy with. But I went with 720, and no point in doing that these days.
I am wondering how much longer our 2 year old tube tv will hold up. It seems to be starting very slowly.
I've had my tube TV since 2004, and it's doing fine. I figure one day I will have to buy a flatscreen, though. And then I will come here and ask for recommendations because everything will be shiny and new.
Thanks! I think I am going to go with the Tivo over the Comcast DVR, mostly so that I don't have to give Comcast any more money than I already do.
I will go look at the NYT article, and the LG
I've had my Zenith tv since 1997, and it still works fine. Despite that the cat knocked the huge heavy thing off onto the floor once. Cracked the case, but otherwise undamaged. In fact, I kinda like it better than my new flatscreen high-def tv.
Sorry, that was a typo. My TV is 20. ish. It might be able to drink.
We love our new Panasonic, but it's a plasma, which is not the way most people are going.
We got a Visio, and it seems to be just great.
Course, my last TV was elderly, so my comparison values are not very technological.
I got a Westinghouse. Which is fine, other than annoying that my TiVo remote won't control the power (but will control the volume...)
I have a 27" Dynex 720p, which is lovely (especially for the < $400 I paid for it) but it has a very slow tuner, which is annoying when I change the channel. Of course if you have Tivo or a cable box or other external tuner, this doesn't matter. It also only has one of each type of input (which is fine for me as I route all video through my receiver, but may not work for you).
If those are not problems for you, I recommend the Dynex.
We've had an LG for a couple of years and it's been good. My parents have had an LG for awhile now and haven't had any troubles.
