Guest MarkJDelaney Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Don't bother for that sort of money. Wait for technology to advance, or get yourself a plasma for even more money. Or even better that, get yourself a fantastic Sony Trinitron Nicam CRT - can't beat the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historicrocker Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 To be honest, I would prefer a decent dvd collection and a modest television screen. So, what's it gonna be? A television screen that you will eventually lose all enthusiasm for... or a dvd collection of about 200 which will have all your friends steaming with jealousy. I'd choose the latter, plus, as someone already said, those things will get better some day and that version will be worth about 100.

Not 100% decided yet, it's a minimal additional outlay a month, as I currently rent a 32" widescreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historicrocker Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 If you already rent then go ahead... I recommend it. I mean, renting will cost a helluva a lot more. Lucky sod, my dvd collection is about 45. I do have some great films though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get some bargains ex-rental, then wait for the technology to come down in price, which it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historicrocker Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Yeah... but are they any good? Sony Trinitron Nicam TV... whoo, I want one of those! I'll end up getting a tiny television but with an amazing soundsystem. For me, it's the sound that really matters. Although a decent tv screen does the trick as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MarkJDelaney Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 You're damn right they're good! I get a great sound from the Nicam Stereo with a fantastic picture to boost. If I want more sound, it's hooked up to my stereo speakers - I just switch em on! I wouldn't mind a theatre surround sound system though!

historicrocker Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I only play dvds on my PC since I'm a cheap bastard but 22" monitor ain't bad. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/SpeedLink.htmlSoundsystem I want is second from bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
