What's going to be new on them in 2 years if they're 4k already? Not including gimmicks like 3D. If I'm just waiting that long for a better price then I don't care.Quote:

Slight improvements. Also the content.
4K is such a bullshit term as there are so many factors. Go in to a TV shop and look at the difference. You'll be amazed at what these cunts get away with.
I've got a curved monitor at work (for some reason we bought a load of Samsungs with it) and it is entirely pointless
The content availability hardly matters, that's got nothing to do with the TV :cab:Quote:

Of course it does unless you plan on leaving it off.Quote:

Or just wait and get a better (cheaper?) one when it arrives?Quote:

Thats the only thing I am disappointed to have missed out although I absolutely love my TV. Well worth the cost, especially as I was going from a 37in 1080p to 55 in 4K.Quote:

I got this over 2 years ago and the picture was absolutely breathtaking. I still notice it when I come home from holidays etc but I'm used to it now.
Used 3D twice, I did use 4K Netflix quite a lot pre-Kodi and that was equally amazing. It has upscaling too so you still get a better quality than 1080p.
I'm not sure how much it's moved on since, but I've had LG's for years and you can't go wrong. Maybe worth seeing what they have.
Some yank seems to have od'd in the backpacker area last night...

You have complete control over the house and it's 'only' four hundred quid. You're not even asking for advice on which product to buy, so why bother pretending that's not a 'two tellies in the sitting room, envy me' post?Quote:

You need to think about the positioning of both it and your furniture though, which I'm sure your Feng Shui expert can help with.Quote:

The tv is obviously the same as the other one. Anything else would be utterly ridiculous.Quote:

Pretty much anything sounds like an upgrade on your current one so I wouldn't worry that much.
That's the thing though. It's probably fine really, I can see what I'm watching on it.Quote:

What did you get the vouchers for? Are you likely to use them for anything else?
All4one vouchers so can use them for pretty much anything. Most shops here take them and they now have a 16 digit and a CCV number on them so you can use them online too. I've amalgamated them into the one card now so it's basically a single 500 euro one. A laptop was the only other thing I was interested in for myself but it's only as notion for FM and if 14, 15, and 16 are anything to go by I will have bored of it this time next month. Looked at Chromebooks too but I've the Pixel C so I'd really have no use for one.Quote:

I could do with a telly if you're not sure which to buy, Giggles. I'm easy.
You could see what you were watching on a CRT too.Quote:

Why would you need more than one?
To watch the same thing on both.
:D
Well, most of the time I'm not interested in whatever is on TV, so I'd rather have my own setup in the living room so I can beast Rocket League and still be somewhat social.
I'm so fucking bored. All week I'd been looking forward to having a quiet Saturday night for once, and now I just wanna get oiled and nobody wants to play with Igor :( .
Alright igor.

Not a lot, mate. I'm reading about keeping pigs as pets. The advice seems to be to have two, because they are very sociable animals.
I mentioned "clitoral hood" in passing to the young lady I'm currently providing with disappointing sex and she didn't believe it was a thing. When showing her on wikipedia i made the startling discovery that women can accumulate smegma in there. The more you know.
Pigs are cool. They're super cute and pork is delicious. x
That would be a good name for a metal band.
her ex boyfriend is in a shit metal band. their music sounds like BLUUUUUURGH RAWWWWWR and their lyrics are such embarrassing pseud bullshit, but all their videos are "lyrics videos", i.e. videos which have all the lyrics appearing like shit powerpoint effects throughout which makes it much worse because it means the lead singer actually wants people to read his sub-6th form poetry and think he's some kinda artist.
He's probably on a Slipknot forum right now calling you Colin Hunt.
Cracking exchanges
Is this the one from before, Igor?
You're really missing that dog, huh, Lewis?
