Morning Discussion

It's about the time of day for a fresh chatty, it should pair nicely with bagels and cream cheese. Looks like we'll have some contest results for you later for everyone that channeled their inner Lord Byron. So I was getting some Disgaea 2 in last night and it made me think about games that addressed or recognized the fourth wall. Disgaea is pretty much built on player exploitation of the game mechanics, Shadowrun was built around the notion of FPS hacks, and some games talk directly to the player. Any other games make you think of this?

      I haven't had any bad experiences with LG, but I like the Samsung's better. I think I'm becoming a bit of a fanboi.

            i got in on that 50" DLP + XBOX 360 + Halo 3 deal a few weeks ago and I am blown away by the picture quality, especially when you consider the TV only cost ~$600 when it was all said and done.

            makes my old panasonic 53" 1080i look like shit

              I have a 46" Samsung DLP for the consoles and the 22" Samsung 226bw for my PC. I love them both and have not had a single problem with either.

                I have a 226BW as well.. my first one I had to RMA though after about 8 months as the top right corner of the screen started to turn yellow.

        Yeah, I'm starting to go gay for Samsung. I have a 19" 940B LCD, my wife has a 19" 940BF LCD, and I'll probably be plunking down for a 60"+ Samsung LED-DLP TV sometime next year. They make great stuff.

      I think it goes somewhat like this
      Sony>Samsung>Sharp and no idea where LG fits in there. Those would be my top three for sure though.

      Are you set on 40" and LCD? Bigger is better unless you're sitting pretty close, especially since you're looking at 1080p sets. Plus if you have the room you could consider an SXRD for even bigger screen and better picture quality.

      I should say though that I have something similar to what you're looking for, though probably less expensive (37" 1080p Westinghouse) and it certainly doesn't disappoint.
