ok seeing how no one here probobly owns this tv, how about I ask about a different TV. how about the Westinghouse LVM-42w2

Oh god no, please. We have the Westinghouse at work and it's image quality is sub par. The black levels are just severely lacking. On top of that, we've had a lot of reliability issues with Westinghouse across their line of LCD's.

well I wanna be a little future proof

Future proof for what though? The only real 1080p content for the next few years is going to be HD-DVD and Blu-ray. Broadcast stuff is limited by bandwidth and I don't think we'll be seeing any 1080p broadcasts, never mind full time 1080p. for quite a while (think 8 years down the road). The market is simply moving too quickly to sit back and wait to future proof yourself.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
