Daimyo Nintendo

Take a hint Sony (and all other OLED developers) I own a 50" plasma, if I buy another newer TV one day it will be 50" minimum, I am looking at a 60" or 70".

And OLED TV better not look like LCD with their exorbitant amount of sharpness, I can barely watch my friends 42 LCD, it makes HD unenjoyable, thats why I have a plasma, smooth and crisp.

Meh, I don’t need a blu-ray burner, at least I have no need to use one yet. But integrated blu-ray players are interesting, one problem, you can never change the speed at which the discs load so it better be a great blu-ray player. I purchased a 3rd gen Sony blu-ray player a year or two ago (I think we are at 5th gen now) and it is slow as hell at booting up and loading discs. I went with Sony because they created blu-ray so as a daft punk I purchased their player and I hear that others are faster. There are times I want to smash my blu-ray player because it takes so long to load. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 or 3 took the longest time to load. With a stand-alone player I can choose to get rid of it and buy a better one, with TV integration...not so easy. In then end that will be where all tech is at, everything integrated in to a TV. 3D, blu-ray, hard drives, internet capability, it will all come integrated, no need for Tivo boxes, Apple TV, or stand alone players. I am just saying if you have a product like a blu-ray player integrated into a TV...it better load damn fast because digital downloads and solid state flash cards are swooning over top of blu-ray like vultures eyeing a dying format. I love the blu-ray (over 60 movies and counting) and it is gaining momentum but at the same time its a dying format, who honestly wants spinning discs any more, especially when you have SD cards coming out at 64GB. For those who don’t like the digital download SD and flash cards are the future. I don’t think HVD or HVC have much of a chance.

Yea but the Chevy volt is still a step backwards. Like todays hybrids and electric vehicles are only electric assisted, I DONT WANT ANY KIND OF OIL BURNING ENGINE, THE OIL DAYS ARE OVER. I will buy a Tesla car over the Chevy Volt any day. I want 100% electric, no gas, no oil, no bullshit. Oil barons your time is over!

I still have the original iphone, it heats up quite hot but it has the aluminum back so there is no color change. Why have just black and white and not a nice metal finish for an option? I was going to upgrade my iphone to the 3G but I knew soon enough there would be another one so I was holding out for the 3G S, now I am going to hold out even longer until they fix this problem because I want a white one, for now my original iphone works just fine. Just like the ipods, I had the classic version one generation previous, still had the spinning hard drive (which I hate compared to solid state) and had to get it replaced because the heat would warp the plastic and the hard disc would not spin. Apple c'mon...this is pathetic.

How in the hell do HUGE electronics companies not have this problem under control? It's unacceptable.

I am a PDP lover but a wannabe or closet LCD lover (especially with LED & laser LCD's.) I saw a Samsung LED LCD at Best Buy with Wall E playing on it and was impressed, more so than I thought I would ever be being a plasma owner and supporter. I love the smoothness of images on PDP but the vibrancy of LCD. LCD images are way to sharp for my taste and with PDP I find the colors don't pop the way LCD does. I also still have burn in issues with PDP, even though its temporary its unbelievable and unacceptable that this problem still exits when we spend thousands of our hard earned dollars on TV's. I just want someone to combine the positive attributes of LCD and PDP. OLED looks more like an LCD successor in the fact its super sharp images and bright colors (which in my opinion are not positive attributes) make it look unreal like an LCD. OLED’s biggest achievements are the thinness and its lesser consumption of power compared to LCD and PDP. But OLED still has image brightness sustainability issues and burn out far faster than LCD and PDP. PDP picture quality is incredible and the colors are bumped up a bit, the set itself made thin enough, and burn in is a thing of the past no matter how much you abuse your TV then PDP could very well still be competing with LCD and OLED when it is released, and doing quite well.

Congrats Nintendo, but we all know the Wii was in a way a test to see how it would work. It is just a glorified GameCube with motion controls. I can't wait for Wii HD with 1:1 controls, You will have a great console with HD graphics, a more refined 1:1 controller and all the game franchises. I mean what else do you need? If Xbox has Natal, and Sony has the new eyetoy motion control, I am sure for Wii HD Nintendo has something planed which will surprise us all. After more or less 3 years I am still loving my Wii. Yea there could be better games on it but the 40 or so games I do have satisfy me. Just goes to show how Nintendo leads the way, with the fact that some though the motion control was stupid, most people thought it was great, and now Xbox and Sony copying them. Didn't Nintendo say the future would not be graphics but interface. Look how Sony and Microsoft scramble to get their own. I still love the way the Wii remote and nunchuck feel, its as natural as a regular controller. Soon we have a Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros., A new Metroid, and new Zelda all on the way.

Yea I only see 9 speakers as well, someone can't produce a proper diagram?


Heads up....RANT!:

This is too much, 5.1 is good enough, 7.1 was pushing it...this is just too much. So how long do we ignorant monkeys keep going? I MIGHT hook up 7.1....one day...but now I am more than happy with 5.1. Do we all need to be greedy like people who drive gold plated cars in Dubai? More money more burdens. This is just a small part of a bigger problem, making things we don't need rather than improving upon things we do need or already exist 11.1 is not an improvement, it's and expansion. I would rather rent a cottage for a week or a boat, rather than burden myself with owning and having to use them all the time, and maintain them. Who needs all that crap anyway? Who needs that many speakers? Is you life complete now that you have all this crap?

I have 5.1 because as TV's have become better over the years, speakers in TV's have not, they have gotten worse, thin TV's mean no room for air to move for the speakers. 5.1 and I am sticking with it. Take your 11.1 and shove it up your....

Why do designers feel the need to build deathtraps. Did we not learn with the Prius and the Insight that electric cars do not have to look ugly. Did we not yet learn that as long as HUGE suv's, pickup trucks, and transport trucks are on the road things like this car, the "peapod" car and the smart car are death traps? Or are these cars for city driving only? Start thinking about the whole f*cking picture, no one wants ugly cars, no wants to be squished into a sardine can that will only get smaller in an accident. The Chevy Volt is the best hybrid car I have ever seen, the Tesla is the best 100% electric car I have seen, with Aptera 2e close behind.

Yea but for 16:9 you will have black bars on the side. Its a nice TV but after forcing people to go from 4:3 to 16:9 you want us to make a jump to 21:9!? Not going to happen until ALL MOVIES are filmed in 21:9. Some of my widescreen movies have black bars, some don't and the ones that don't fit so nice on the 16:9 screen. Personally I think the 21:9 TV is too narrow as the 4:3 TV was too square, the 16:9 TV offers wide screen and size. Again we have widescreen, anamorphic widescreen, letterbox, its annoying, I would like Hollywood or the world organization of motion pictures or whatever the hell its called to work in tandem with Television companies and decide on one freaking format for the next 100 years lol. Resolution can go up, but keep the damed size the same. I do prefer the 21:9 but no not yet, I am not sold. But I would be sold on 21:9 way before I am sold on 3D TV's and movies, I don't want to wear glasses just to watch a 3D movie, 3D is not that important to me.
