Our TV, it is huge...

SO maybe most people are graced with large screen TVs but this TV is the largest I have ever had in my life... this is why I have a tech-ready husband :D (details concerning the TV are at the end of the post)

Oh, and Scimi approves of Jason's new socks


Our new TV is a Samsung LN40C630. 40" LCD screen with 1080p resolution (1920x1080). Full array of inputs (HDMI, Composite, etc), as well as a network connection for streaming media over a LAN. Lots of settings and features, so that it can be tweaked to perfection. The built-in speakers are quite good (for a TV). Total weight with the stand is 38lbs.  Currently, we're running it using my new laptop (which I suppose I should probably blog about in more detail at some point) via HDMI.  Streaming Netflix movies look surprisingly good, DVD's are great, and HD shows playing from the computer are amazing.  Perhaps one day we'll get a Blu-ray player...  but not right now.

  3. It is definitely very nice to have the big new screen. It's funny that it almost looks small in that photo, but for the apartment, I think it's quite large and a perfect fit.

    And yes, the socks are cool... I love them!!

  5. Let's see: it is a Samsung LN40C630. 40" LCD screen with 1080p resolution (1920x1080). Full array of inputs (HDMI, Composite, etc), as well as a network connection for streaming media over a LAN. Lots of settings and features, so that it can be tweaked to perfection. The built-in speakers are quite good (for a TV). Total weight with the stand is 38lbs.

    So far, it works fantastically!
