That's exactly what it feels like would happen in that room and it's revolting. You might as well have a douche hanging on the wall and a jar of Vaseline on the desk
The one my friends dad got was a beast. Took the group of us to get it up the stairs lol. Was amazing though. Going from watching movies on some 24 inch to a 55 back then
What is with you people who complain about how heavy TV's are? Why the fricking hell are you "moving them around your house"? You stick them in a room, and you don't touch it ever again.
Do you move your hot water system and washing machine regularly as well?
I legit have never purchased a flatscreen or even a Blu-Ray player when it comes to home electronics. LEGIT.
I completely forget things are sold with HDMI or DVI cables. That component and composite doesn't exist anymore.
Wow.
I used to use them for watching digital cable on my PC and they were pretty nice, especially if you didn't have to deal with switched video. They could have been even better but cable companies seethe at the thought of customers getting cable without renting an entire set top box and always wanted them to die out.
i have this (European) but mine comes out the roof on all three floors of my house. what kind of disgusting country has hot air coming from the ground into their apartment?
I had a 65" Mitsubishi 1080. Was glorious to watch films,etc on. Not so glorious when it died and me and a buddy almost killed ourselves getting it out of the house. The 65 samsung I got now is light as a feather seemingly by comparison.
we had one of these on the 2nd floor, when it finally died we knew there was no way to take it down the stairs so my dad built a balcony to that room and we just hurled it over the railing
Most suffer from extremely limited optimal viewing angle. Like you need a chair that sits no higher than the bottom of the screen if you're a typical adult male sitting upright, and no more than 3 seats total from center out. It's sort of the opposite of intentional blinding screens for computer privacy.
I miss the old tv, playing smash bros, mario kart, etc on a television the size of a wall was based. I still have the lasers my dad removed from it after it died, might rig up a device to blind 737 pilots kek
only memory with one of these is my friend had one in ~2010 and we had to stop playing modern warfare 2 and evacuate his basement because his cat shit and threw up behind it and the thing was too heavy and close to the wall to move at all or go behind to clean anything
Back in like 2004 when Best Buy was liquidating those, a college roommate got one for his dorm room. He barely fit his bed / futon across from it. It wasnt bad for playing split screen Halo 2 matches, but even he eventalky admitted he sometimes felt overwhealmed by how close he was to the tv playing full screen stuff.
>zoomers will never know how fricking heavy those things were and how annoying there were to move around your house
>projection tv
>heavy
Awkward, maybe. Depending on the speaker cabinet at the bottom. This isn't a 36" Trinitron.
>36" Trinitron.
You mean the kino machine
>This isn't a 36" Trinitron
I think the Trinitron I got that my other roommate was about that size or a bit bigger.

why the frick did you have a store magazine rack
I forget the details but my dad just took it home from some guy that was gonna throw it out. Probably did come from a store.
what a freakish house
I would probably get a stab of vertigo entering that shithole of a room
Hard to care about aesthetics when the only thing I would want to do in there is watch TV, play Roller Coaster Tycoon and jerk off.
That's exactly what it feels like would happen in that room and it's revolting. You might as well have a douche hanging on the wall and a jar of Vaseline on the desk
>newspaper stand in your room
hmm
based, i believe
Dem twisty knobs, tho.
>Anon! Change the channel.
This room is comfy af, while a little cluttered looks clean
unironically lynchian
>oh no it must weigh all of 20 kg
You should consider hitting the gym, mate.
The one my friends dad got was a beast. Took the group of us to get it up the stairs lol. Was amazing though. Going from watching movies on some 24 inch to a 55 back then
>zoomers will never play in a TV box

Do you move your hot water system and washing machine regularly as well?
Sometimes a room needed to be rearranged. The old way was looking too boring
You have a comfy home. I’d bring Doritos and a 2 liter of Mountain Dew over anytime to watch kino. Your dogs would like me.
>Alas! I am forgotten….
I legit have never purchased a flatscreen or even a Blu-Ray player when it comes to home electronics. LEGIT.
I completely forget things are sold with HDMI or DVI cables. That component and composite doesn't exist anymore.
Wow.
>Cablecards
Some providers even still offer these. I have no idea why, as literally everyone decided they suck.
I used to use them for watching digital cable on my PC and they were pretty nice, especially if you didn't have to deal with switched video. They could have been even better but cable companies seethe at the thought of customers getting cable without renting an entire set top box and always wanted them to die out.
That TV even has firewire ports
do Americans really have open sewers in their living rooms?
That's an emergency piss pot, anon.
>third worlders just let the excess kino juice build up in their living rooms
Sad state of affairs.
GOD I wish I hadn't thrown my perfectly good 32inch CRT in the dump to make room for a new flat screen. What a fricking c**t I am! JESUS SMITE ME!!
>Posting not knowing about central AC
Black person that is a grate in the FLOOR
Do you not understand how central ACs work?
i have this (European) but mine comes out the roof on all three floors of my house. what kind of disgusting country has hot air coming from the ground into their apartment?
Europoors have central air conditioning? Interesting
It's more thermodynamically efficient to have it coming from the floor, unless you just like wasting the little heating budget you guys already have?
>apartment
There's your first mistake. Buy a house, poorgay.
>my house
>buy a house, poorgay
american reading comprehension
What idiot would put their A/C underneath their carpet??????
I'm having storm drains installed next week actually. I was thinking of having a spillway erected in the garage as well
Don't forget to have your kitchen gutterw cleaned.
the sewer smells freshen the room.
BOOM HEADSHOT
do they make AVI HDMI dongles?
Yes. Quality is usually shit, but they exist.
i used a retrotink
I had a 65" Mitsubishi 1080. Was glorious to watch films,etc on. Not so glorious when it died and me and a buddy almost killed ourselves getting it out of the house. The 65 samsung I got now is light as a feather seemingly by comparison.
we had one of these on the 2nd floor, when it finally died we knew there was no way to take it down the stairs so my dad built a balcony to that room and we just hurled it over the railing
I remember only watching a projector TV once as a kid and i thought it looked like shit but i didnt understand why

don't put your bing bing wahoo so close to your heating vent anon
>this made rich people cum their pants in 2002
My neighbor had a 65" mitsubishi one. That fricker took up half the room.
I miss the old tv, playing smash bros, mario kart, etc on a television the size of a wall was based. I still have the lasers my dad removed from it after it died, might rig up a device to blind 737 pilots kek
>welcome nighthawks
This episode actually made for pretty good horror
>knock knock knock
Hey anon. Can I borrow your RCA cable?
no but come in I was just making some hotpockets
I will one day have a friend, and this interaction (or an equivalent) will occur, God willing.
HELL YEAH
only memory with one of these is my friend had one in ~2010 and we had to stop playing modern warfare 2 and evacuate his basement because his cat shit and threw up behind it and the thing was too heavy and close to the wall to move at all or go behind to clean anything
I agree.
>actually using aucostic panels and not an interior design fascade
11/10 would jerk you off quietly while watching whatever
projections are cool and all but nothing will ever beat the panasonic plasma
You can take the lens out of a rear-projection tv and make a solar-powered death ray that can melt rocks.
Beats the hell out of turning laundry day with mom into bomb day. Why didn’t dad ever tell me about turning the tv into a death ray
I miss the analog era. Things felt more real to me back then.
It's all robots and 1s and 0s these days. Forget "new wave" it's just lame!
Because it was more real. Read up on DVD anchor frames.

Yes it but you will have an army of clueless anons with dunning-kruger AV levels of knowledge telling you how bad it is.
Revolutionary!
Why is there a stormwater drain in your living room.?
For when he watches the 4-D Blu-Ray of Titanic.
It really puts you in the splash zone.
