Most of their LCDs are HDTV ready and can attach to any home electronics device including a PC.

i really trust something that says samsung's largest lcd is 46''

8/11/2007 12:05:31 PM

That list is retarded because those are just the top 5 biggest LCD manufacturers, pretty much. There's not anything actually substantial in that list.

8/11/2007 12:35:40 PM

^ Pretty much. Didn't say to check out any of the bang for the buck brands or anything... I know one or two of the cheaper brands has to be worth checking out for people starting out in the market. Not everybody needs a $900 32" LCD TV.

"available in rear projection, flat panel, and wireless."

wtf is wireless lcd?

Ew. You can find info on a similar sony product. Seems that about 3-4 years ago a couple of the big LCD brands decided this would be a neat idea. I think they look retarded and cost more than jesus.

^ Well, in their defense, jesus is $free.

Though yeah... $3500 AUD = $2943.50 US... So yeah...

What the fark is so special about that. If cable clutter really causes you $2500 in stress-related problems (to make that economical to buy), you really really have other issues.

about.com can be a pretty terrible website sometimes way too often

8/12/2007 9:16:20 PM

Took me an hour and $20 to run mine thru the wall.. $1000 you say?

8/12/2007 11:59:41 PM

lol yeah you must have gotten ripped off man
