*RedBull* Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Before I went to bed last night, I thought to myself.. i'll be home for the next month watching movies, playing games, waiting till college starts back up (aside from working part time), that I thought, why not buy a new TV to keep me entertained.My current 37" 1080i (ha, yes i) doesn't cut it anymore, and with previous "image burn" problems with my current tv, I wanted a massive upgrade. So I went out and purchased a brand new Sony Bravia 52" 1080p @ 120Hz model: KDL52W4100 I don't have to pay anything on it for 1 year (after that, I got to pay interest, but i'll end up paying it off this summer). I talked the sales guy to give me a blu-ray player for $100 (BDPS350), which also came with 3 free blu-ray movies, but I purchased The Dark Knight on top of it all :) The TV was too big to fit into my car, so it is being delivered tomorrow morning :o That's Huge. I just bought a 37" Bravia myself. A friend of mine is jealous cause he paid 30% more than I did and got only a 32". Mines paid off BTW. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted December 17, 2008 Author Global Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2008 I originally wanted something around 40-50" mark, but the 52" was a great price, plus a blu-ray player for $100.. so I had to take the offer :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathachew Veteran Posted December 17, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 17, 2008 Pffft, I would've gotten a bigger one...... :p Enjoy man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaDude Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Not a bad idea, and I doubt it would turn into any war.People are usually just in "awe" when people get sweet HDTV setups, as opposed to trying to "flame" people over brands/styles. The show off your gaming setup topic is very popular. I'm sure quite a few people will be getting new setups over Christmas as well (Y) I create one now. Let's see how it turns out.

Steve Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I bought a 47" in the summer, and I only had a medium sized apartment in the UK. At first it was overwhelming, but nowadays, I'm thinking I'd like to up the ante some more... Can't beat having a huge 1080p TV, especially if you're a console gamer! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted December 24, 2008 Author Global Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2008 how far away are you supposed to sit for a 52" set? http://www.dtvcity.com/lcdtv/lcdscreensize.html is the little tool i used. Not very accurate, but gives you a good idea 52" TV = 13 feet away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted December 25, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 25, 2008 Nice! I got the KDL-40W4000 and the Sony BDP-S550 and I'm absolutely blown away by it. The 40" seems gargantuan so I can't even comprehend what the 52" version must be like. I sit about 8-10ft away from my screen and it's JUST about right. Watching the Dark Knight blu-ray was a rather eye opening experience, and playing my Xbox now is a thoroughly immersing experience. For those sitting on the fence, who still own <30" CRT's and have the money to do it, I really think now is the time. Watch one decent Blu-Ray movie and you will want one! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the 52", but I got a 46" now, because the 52" gave me headaches P.S. the W models have an update for them, check online at sony.com and see if yours applys, it should. That blu-ray player has 9 updates I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni_78 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 :| This one is TOO BIG dude.. and I am thinking of getting a 46", so I can watch TV without getting a headache :p I have 55" Sony Bravia and it definitely isn't too big, now I would go with 65+. It's amazing how much 55" has shrinked since I bought it :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I have 55" Sony Bravia and it definitely isn't too big, now I would go with 65+. It's amazing how much 55" has shrinked since I bought it :D. LOL, I know what you mean... I bought a 50" TV and a 24" computer screen (well, it's in my iMac already) and it's unbelievable how much these things shrink with time :p Now I would easily go with a 60" TV, but mine was so damn expensive (I bought it a year and a half ago and it's a panasonic plasma 1080p, from their best lineup) so I'm not changing it anytime soon :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
