    My late mother would never allow a television in the house. She called them lunatics lanterns.

    nope.

    there's one that kindof doesn't work that belongs to the place where i live, but i don't own it, and its unplugged, and has been almost as long as i've lived here.
    (which has been several years now)

    fur affinity, hip forums, nation states, pinterest, art station, youtube occasionally, my yahoo mail account, making stuff in the 3d does it all for free software blender, reading books, mostly sciffy and mystery, riding around town on the city bus, and playing with trains in trainz 2012 and bahn388r2, oh and i have a very small physical model railroad, which i putter around and build things on occasionally too, and a furry convention once a year, pretty well has me covered for 'entertainment'.

    my news comes to my inbox, or from links i hear about on the already mentioned forums.
    which IS better coverage then most of the corporate media.
    (i do get notifications in my inbox from democracy now, the hill, mother jones, assorted other less then totally corporate media,
    and of course a diverse assortment of politicians and causes, frequently wanting me to throw money i don't have at them)

    not with my minimal bandwidth account it isn't. though i do watch what little of youtube that permits on it, and take imaginary road trips with google maps. that's and checking bus schedules, are almost the only things i actually do on/with it, as i don't know anyone to call, and i leave the ringer turned off and seldom take it with me when i leave the house, relying instead on a folding pocked clock, that is just a clock, no other functions at all. i have received several calls on it, (the android, not the pocket clock) but the few times i've attempted to return them to find out who or what they are, they've turned out to be like what you get when you attempt to reply to a spam email. we're sorry, the number you have reached, does not exist. if you would like to contact us in the twilight zone, please call our customer service number. lol.

    If money wasn't the issue (which of course it is) I'd purchase the 110 inch Samsung UHD TV

    I don't own one and never have.
     
  14. Yes.
    I don't like watching things on laptop or phone.
     
  15. This pic has been skewed. Unless both girls came out of the birth canal oddly.

    Our daughter has just bought an ultra HD set.
    With 4k (4000 pixels per horizontal line) 300 Hz refresh rate and OLED (organic light emitting diode) display. the quality is unbelievable and equivalent to 70mm film.
    The problem is that you can only see all this on the demo DVD, since no commercial channels use the technology at the moment. The HD channels are 2k resolution, but even then, only about 20% if material was shot in HD. Other than a few sports cameras, everything is shot at 25 FPS frame rate, so every frame is shown 12 times.

    Lol yeah that's why I didn't bother with the 4k TV instead used the extra cash to get a 65" screen. Then I'd have to buy 4k DVDs and a DVD player and you know what??? My eye site isn't even good enough to see the differences so why bother? :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:
