what to look for in a TV

How about a reality tv set?

John is looking to buy a new TV... one around the 50 inch size....

Be sure it has a working plug and electric cord attached to it. They NEED electricity. That's for sure. I like knobs but maybe your hubby likes remotes? So if you are like me and you too like little knobs? Then watch out! They don't make knobs anymore. They are all little electric (oops, I meant electronic) Chiclets® style buttons and stuff, and sometimes they hide the buttons behind and underneath...

Tha's all good but be certain that he doesn't buy one that can't be plugged in. That like an invitation to disaster. Also, for the 50incher? Be sure that plug-in cord is longer than 50 inches (what's that? 50 inches as measured on the diagonal? Oh, okay. Be sure the cord is longer than 22 inches if your television is in a 16:9 aspect ratio with letterbox format) or... or you will have to mount it way too low and close to the carpet or the floor. If you get a cord that's only like six (6) inches? That's okay too, but you'll have to hire an electrician or maybe you yourself can do the electrical work needed to add an outlet behind the tv, to the wall that the television is going to be mounted to.

Oh, and if you want technical advice? You came to the right place for that, tha's for sure! I know exactly what you should look for. Get one of them 3D televisions that make you and your guests wear funny colored glasses to watch in Dazzling Three Dimensions® and that make you all dizzy if you get up for a glass of water and you forget to take the glasses off --- but be very careful when you're twirling around your living room and doing High-Fives right after you favorite team won the game. Because when you're doing the WOOT-WOOT Yahoo(!) dance you are especially vulnerable and you really could trip with those colorful 3D glasses still on your face. You could break your hip!

So that's about it. Get the right cord and take care with 3D glasses and that's the best advice I gots for you at the moment but if you need more? Feel free to ask me or open up a private conversation because I got more even if it comes from a guy who hasn't owned a television in more than a decade. :dunce I'd tell you to get extra replacement tubes too but I heard that they have "flat panel" televisions now with closed circuitry (CC Captions - they put words on the flat panel screens now) and are solid in your state too so they don't need tubes no more. Nice, huh?

Thanks for asking! :biggrin2

Oh, and it should let you take stuff that is normally on a computer screen and wirelessly and tirelessly allow that to be seen on the tv too! That way, when somebody uploads a pic of themselves sticking their tongue out at you? You could see it in glorious living color, the only right way to watch us cuckoo crazy Members and who are also just your friends in the zoo. Oh! And then when somebody reduces the font as I am fond of doing? You won't have to reach for your reading glasses either because it is being tirelessly (wirelessly) thrown up to your brand new 60 incher! Yeah, watch John too. He likes to start out small and inch his way up to a Real Man's dream machine. Well, if he's like me, that is. Never-mind. THAT's impossible, now isn't it? WOOT!

I'll be good! I promise.

Sheesh!


Some people can't even take a joke around here.... what is the world coming to? O I know how to get even, I'll make her reach for her reading glasses by incrementally reducing the font until she sees my point about tirelessly and wirelessly ... yeah, that's the ticket. I'll reduce it so much that she'll be tempted to EDIT me just so she can see what I'm muttering on about... hahahaha... ever hear a bird cackle? You have now. And now? I'm speaking white on white and very few can read me -- so if I wanted to, I could pick PINK and then you're remember. It was too much fun to tease good ol' Mike like that, wasn't it? Really nice to see you, reba. I won't even now in the white on white use your name, that's private. I miss you guys.YOU HAVE NOW cackly cackle cackly

Think of all those poor televangelists that need reba's tithe .it ain't right.creflo dollar can't buy his jet because of rebA being stingy
 
Do they have voice controls yet? I'd like to be able to just swap the sounds around so if I wanted to make Hilary's voice come out of Arnold Schwarzenegger? I could. Or if there was a televangelist that I didn't like? I could zoom into a close up on his/her mouth and then insert a squeaky, high-pitched childlike whine to come out when they asked for reba's tithe again, and again, and again, and again, please? Squeaky Please, high-pitched please, childlike whine please?

Then? Maybe that televangelismist will instruct to lay hands on the little 50 incher and *POOF* it will become large enough to watch the "Attack of the 50' Woman," finally. Now that would be a real man's television. I can almost hear Tim, Tim the Toolman Taylor. And speaking of which, I'm not sure that I buy the whole, "We only watch sports," hype.

She might sneak in a peak at a re-run of Tim the Toolman on Home Improvement from back in 1993
Tim: I can burp with the best of them. I can fling ear wax from thirty feet across the room.
Jill: That's why I married you.

Randy: Oh yeah, Dad, by the way I'm still getting the all-Spanish station through my intercom.
Tim: Real funny. Don't quit your day job.
Jill: That was real adult.
Tim: Well he started it.

Jill: Mom called me a nickname and she always called me this nickname. She said it when I was 14, we just moved to a new place and she said it right in front of all my new friends. I was so mad at her. The mean things I called her.
Tim: Never mind what you called her, what did she call you?
Jill: Oh right, like I'm really gonna tell you. You have to swear that you won't breathe a word of it to anyone.
Tim: Cross my heart and hope to die. Hope a wrench hits me right in the eye.
Jill: Jilly Dilly.
[Tim laughs]
Jill: I don't want to hear that name in this house ever again.
Tim: I may have to say it on Tool Time.

Wilson: Parents are the bone on which children sharpen their teeth. What I'm saying is that when a boy is young, he worships his father and in order for the boy to become a man, he's got to see his father as a fallible human being and stop seeing him as a god.
[Later]
Tim: Where's Randy? I got to talk to him. I just found out I'm not God.
Jill: Oh Tim, I'm so sorry.
Tim: [to Randy] I know what's going on here. You're at the point in your life where you have to clean your teeth on my bones.

Tim: For the next couple years you're not going to be yourself.
Randy: Who am I going to be?
Tim: A little wise guy that smarts off to people that a lot of people think is a real jerk.
Randy: Chip off the old block, eh?

But I do like connections so if it is tirelessly connected wirelessly she could also watch Elvis from YouTube so easily:


But I don't think the 3D glasses would work for that. It's just YouTube, not the future yet, what do you expect. You can't 3D Elvis. That just ain't right. But at least you don't have to worry about getting dizzy when you get up for water while watching Elvis, as if anybody could actually do that. Walk out on Elvis?!? HUH? Don't make me got my rolling pin :rollingpin

Right?

Maybe, but I think it just us saying, "We love you," and having fun. It sounds like family to me. You almost have to put up wit us, why? Because you loves us too. Tha's why. Not because we deserve it, but it's more like we deserve each other, whatever that means.

reba, be sure to verify that all the current shows are in color. (There will be some older shows in black-n-white, sometimes shown on Nickelodeon...and some older black-n-white movies) It's really cool to watch shows in color!

Also, the tv should have what's known as a 'remote control'. Makes life so much easier not having to go over to the tv to change the channel. With a remote control, though, it's important to keep on hand the type of batteries the remote control requires. It's definitely not much fun at all to push the proper button on the remote control and not have anything happen.

:thumbsup
