Main > Everything Else

i'm FINALLY getting a big screen tv!! i have questions....

<< < (2/17) > >>

ChadTower:

Front heavy, too, which means if you aren't careful it will flop over and shatter.  I wonder if that thing is heavier than a Dynamo cab.  Might be.

Which AV selector did you get?  There is one at Gamestop that is a great bargain at the $80 price point... pretty much anything else to do that job with that many inputs and types starts at double the price.

yeah ive moved it myself actually but not very far.  my arms are long enough to reach around the back of the tv where the handles are, but the thing weighs about 5000 lbs.  i can move it from my ent. center to my couch but im dead after that.  

i just looked up the weight of the sony 36" wega.....238 lbs!  geez!

but then i looked up the weight of my new toshiba tv that ill be moving in.....only 63 lbs!  holy crap!

ive been calling all my friends to get some help moving the new tv in, but no one is going to be able to help me today so i was thinking i was going to have to do it myself.  but if its only 63 lbs, compared to my 238lb sony wega....this thing will be like moving pillows!

thats the one i have.  its only $20, but its got component inputs on the back. 

ChadTower:

Is that powered or passive?  That will make a difference, the cheap ones are passive and they do degrade the picture somewhat.  Not obvious on a small TV but you may notice it at 50".

Hrm... I can't find the bigger one on their website.  I wonder if they discontinued it.

passive.  im not a videophile though so im not going to be looking for little lines or scrambly looking stuff like most would.  if i can play my 360 on an off brand $80 19" tv in my bedroom and only notice thats its a "small picture" then im sure i wont notice anything here.
