"Thats way too big for the room"
Is what i get from the wife whenever i say i want to get a bigger and better TV? Bedroom TV, family room TV anything i want is just way too big.
How is it really possible for a TV to be too big for a room

. Husband took umbrage and spent the weekend 'altering the wood built in, and painting it up - so that a side slide drawer (a tall side drawer specifically for DVDs) came out and it became wide enough for the bigger tv. so technically it was TOO large lol!

Re: This is my last day on BE.
Today I went to Video Only to buy my grandson a TV for his birthday. I got a very nice Samsung 32" smart TV which he can use on the internet as well. When I got home my wife said I made a very good choice.
Tomorrow Video Only deliver my new 65" UHD TV which was on such a good offer I couldn't resist. When it arrives Mrs L will no doubt kill me and bury me where I'll never be found.

Our next TV is going to involve me blocking off a doorway so that the wall behind it is wide enough.

I think UHD screens are pointless until broadcast signals for them become readily available. Currently people buying into UHD are purchasing buggy first-gen TV's. I'd have saved the money and found a Panasonic Plasma to tide me over until 4k signals become mainstream.

Re: This is my last day on BE.
I have never paid for an extended warranty on an appliance, and I've never had one fail during what would have been the extended warranty period. I had a fridge fail after 5½ years, and I would have been as sick as a parrot if I'd paid for the five year extended warranty. As it is I am already several thousand dollars ahead because I do not buy useless warranties, and I have no intention of starting buying them now or in the future.
There was a headline (business) news story in the UK back in the 1990's when it was announced by Dixon's that one year they had made 130% of their profit on extended warranties!
...... IOW they had lost money selling electronics and appliances, but recouped their losses and made a tidy profit sharing selling the warranties.

I used to live in a very hard water area in the UK, made sense for washing machines, but generally I agree.

Re: This is my last day on BE.
As usual you are talking crap. The TVs upscale and convert an HD picture to UHD. I can see the difference between a plasma HD and our UHD. I still have the old plasma TV and can compare. While not as good as a generic program filmed in 4K (House of Cards was filmed in 4K) the upscaling comes dam close.
And to illustrate Lansbury's point....
