The Watering Hole

Sick.  42" 1080p HDTV monitor with every conceivable input for $580... I know nothing about Westinghouse TVs but this seems like a sick deal. It has no tuner, but if you have an HDTV, you probably have a cable box or satellite anyway...

THIS ITEM IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE.

The only thing I can see about the T.V. is the contrast ratio is pretty low.

They go really fast, Hook. You can't wait three days before you check.

I'm pretty much waiting until my TV dies before I upgrade, no matter how much I'd love to watch HD sports...

I guess they do Trip.

Man, you could be waiting a long time to buy a new T.V. ;D

It's amazing how much T.V.'s and blue ray players have come down since I bought my T.V. about 3 years ago. I took a look around Walmart today and the prices are damn good right now. Also, you can get a hell of a lot more technology right now for your dollars. Compared to when I bought mine.

One thing I've noticed is how fast the new wears off. I was blown away by my HD T.V. for about 6 months. Now it's just T.V. again. Strange what we get use to and how fast we consider new the norm.

Still nice to pop in a movie from time to time, sit back and relax and watch a movie in HD. My daughter pretty much controls the T.V. now with her Dora, Winnie the Pooh and shit. I am burn out on the fucking Wonder Pets. Little irritating fuckers. ;D

A great way to be reminded is to have to go back to a low-def channel on a small TV.  You'll wonder how the fuck you were able ever to make things out back then!  :)

Well, I watch that kind of T.V. in hotels every week. I travel for work. Still, get's to be the norm for me.  :)

Wonder Pets, Wonder Pets, we're on our way...
To annoy the Hookbender and save the day
We're not too big, and we're not too tough
But when we work together we've got the right stuff
GOOOO WONDER PETS, YAAAAY!

I strangely feel the urge to eat some celery...:D

;D ;D ;D ;D

Would you mind getting your band to crank up a good jam to that and e-mail it to me. At least have some good guitar solo's in it or something. ;D Maybe I can think of that instead of the shit I'm hearing everytime I have to hear this crap. ;D
