Aha, thanks. If I upgraded in the near future, I would probably be getting something like a 30" at the most (I have a 27" CRT at the moment), since I don't have that much space. Probably smaller, since it would be wider than this thing. In that case, I would probably be looking for a 720 or 1080i, then?
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You'd be looking at 720p. On something like a 32" that's a decent option. I'm very fond of Samsung LCD panels. We have a 47" Samsung in the house and I have a 40" Samsung in the studio.
Not all channels that do HD do 1080. When I was shopping around it was mostly a gaming concern. But more stations are coming on board, and of course there's Blu Ray. But I haven't made that leap yet either, since I have a mixed region collection of DVDs and I'm not certain about interoperability.
Very true, a fair amount of the HD content on TV is also 720p, I forget that the TivoHD usually indicates that.
ita (or anyone else), do you know who this is: [link]
I don't, other than he seems to be on Stargate Universe, but he's cute.
Found him Jamil Walker Smith
(he's been added to my list)
He's the grandson of Barney from Mission Impossible. He looks more like him than his dad does. Totally the same eyebrows. Cuter than his dad too.
Did everybody already know that Helen Mirren's mother was Russian?
Wrongy-head! Ilyena Vasilievna Mironov's father was Russian. Her mother was English.
Man, I am dork mom. I have so many pre-bought gifts for mac stashed about the house that I do not think anyone else is going to get to buy him anything, I'll just put their names on some of these. Problem was that I bought things on sale over the summer thinking I would do a few things throughout the summer and at the beginning of school and then the summer went south and new things over-stimulate, so they got stashed. I am cleaning out now and wrapping while I have a night without him.
I also have three boxes packed up with wrapped gifts ready to send out to family.
Don't have an idea for a Christmas picture for the cards though.

::updates Helen Mirren's file. Checks off: "wrongy-head" next to picture of self::
I'm as interested in British-Russians today as I am Lebanese-Americans.
I am watching Jon Hamm be crazy sexy on Pardcast.com right now.
ETA: Actually I think he's drunk.
