Couple months ago the bulb on my projector blew. Had about 3000 hours on it, 2nd bulb. Bought another bulb, installed it, hung the projector and powered it up to a spectacular explosion. Glass rained down on me. So... there goes another $150 bulb, and it took the color wheel and lens with it. Emailed the manufacturer to see if there was somewhere I could send it in to be refurbished. They no longer support my model. 5 years old, spent $1500 on it, and can't get it rebuilt...

TV upstairs is going on 10 years old, so I told the wife I was going to buy a new one for upstairs and put that one downstairs. She said ok, and that it didn't matter what I got as long as it was as good or better than what we had. Then I get a text on the way to the store. It has to be at least 55", 4k, and smart TV...

I picked up a Samsung 55", 4k smart TV for about 600 bucks just before Christmas... 😟

having trouble finding an Uber driver willing to take me...

Been a year already..?? 😕

You fly in... I'll pick you up, and you can drive up with Al and I. I have enough fishing rods for you, me, and Anthony.

😟

Slept from 0830 to 1430. Watched the Pats close it out, got a haircut and a pizza... now it's quality recliner time with a beer or three.

Got an Insignia I think it was, 55" 4k smart TV for $430 out the door

Looks good, apps work, wife's happy. I have a TV downstairs again, so I'm happy too.

10 years ago we woulda paid twice the price for half the TV...😟

Bought my 47" Sharp Aquos in 2008 for $1500ish. Still works perfectly well, hopefully the new one lasts as long too.

I was shocked at the price drop and size increase on tv's. Haven't been to best buy since 07 according to the address on file for my phone number. They had tv's that were damn near as big as my projector throw, for what I paid for my last tv.

Biggest bonus for me is having a tv downstairs instead of projector is I can have the lights on and see it clearly. Just one light switch for the whole basement's lights, so when boy wants to play on his train table while I play videogames used to be difficult. Today, no problem.

Ram!

I got a 52" Sharp Aquos in the living room. I don't quite recall when I got it, but I remember it was only 1k on black Friday. If I had to guess, I would say 2012 or 2013.

Morning all, Welcome to Monday.


So to start my Monday, I wake up to find that evidently I had put a bid in on a (single) cigar thinking it was a 5er and won. To add to my tard greatness, well I am not even going to mention what brand it was. 😣

Yeah this will be a great week.

34/12, but raining. The roads should be fun.
