as for a tv... dont get fooled by the name Sony Bravia, Samsung makes the screens for Sony so to save a few bucks, get a Samsung. ALSO... make sure it has a contrast ratio of 5000:1 and/or higher and is 1080dpi for the best HD. DONT listen to the salesman if they try to sell you Monster cables cuz you'll be paying alot for nothing. You can get decent cables from radio shack for 3/4's the cost of Monster brand.

Seems like the rumors may be true.![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)
Well......I'll probably detail later on tonight after work. I probably do the lazy QUICK detail since I get off from work around 6pm and need to do some errands before I head home to clean the car a little.
As for tv's.........it would really depend on what you will be looking for. Got a ps3(or any other gaming consoles), blu-ray player, and/or hd cable box? Usually flat screen lcd/plasma screens are the "in" thing now. HDMI inputs are always a plus to have since things look a lot clearer on the screen especially with blu-rays and games.
As for brands, Samsung, Vizio, LG, and I guess Sony's are ok. But the 1st 3 are my picks. Don't fall for Sony's HDNA stuff. I've seen it before and it looks pretty funny IMO.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Again, it just really depends what your looking to do with the tv.
true, there are other brands that may suit your needs...just make sure ya check da specs, like resolutions,pixels,etc. dunno much about that blu-ray but seems to get more,more popular...but if only for watch blu-ray dvds or playing games, maybe no'need imo in answering leis' question lol

There's nothing in the news about Shirokiya.
I really hope it's just a rumor, the food upstairs is always a favorite.
Sony Bravia, FTW!!! Buy 'um from Shirokiya!

hehe watching the cards own right now in HD
, course after the game i'll disconnect the HD... not enough HD channels (no kgmb is a big FAIL
) and reg tv doesnt seem to want to go widescreen when watching on the HD cables
if only the oceanic box had a HDMI cable ![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)
course once this game is over i'll head for lagoon dr and check out the speedbumps at the park there... for those who dont know, might have an event on the 25th there
will post up later this evening with more info.

A "plus" with HD for me is HDNET. I love watching Inside MMA and HDNET fights. Art Mann Presents is pretty wild too!
