When I'm looking at the TV, I want it to be sharp. I also would be hooking my computer up to it since I have netflix. Plus I plan on getting a ps3 before too long. maybe in the next year or so.
Yeah, it is. Unless you are sitting right up on the TV you literally cannot tell the difference.



I went through this research last year when I was buying a TV on black Friday.

Good post Drew.

I have a 720p DLP and sit about 10' away, which means I'm at near perfect range for the 720p. I also went with DLP as I like the slightly softer edges it seems to give vs. LCD. Plasma lifespan and burn in sucks, so I avoid those for my "main" TV, personally.

Pretty much anything that would bring in a weekly paycheck, but puts minimal stress on my back......I know, good luck finding something like that huh. I have to start generating some cash flow to help Cyndi out or we are going to lose our house. She has no overtime until at least January (if then).

Thanks, Arrow auto body right off of Coliseum BLVD. Price is hard to find in all the hoopla, I had them pull out osme dents and do some extra stuff to have the car come out perfect there was no sense in have brand new paint over dents. There was also a price split between me and the insurance company that was responsible for the damage done. All total for me was 920.80, which I thought was pretty fair consider ing how damn picky I can be. I work just down the road so it was nice to see the car at every stage.

I was parked in an over flow parking lot that has grass planted over chip and seal and our dumbass landscapers decided it was a good idea to take laps around my car and pepper the car with pot marks from stones down to the metal... Yeah I cried.and I pleaded my case and showed them how imcompentent they all were with proof, pictures, policies etc. and they had to basically claim all responsibility. I looked at this as a good time to take care of any and all cosmetic issues I might have with the car, dents, scratches, orange peel.and I always wanted an SS hood.

I wish I had some more money I would like to have possibly changed the decklid too, The car looks a little uneven right now, I definetly need some wheels or something to offset the hood, it looks like it's gonna eat ya' or like some fangs are pointed at you from the front. Corvette ralleys for sale if any body's interested, that will go toward some CCW's or something similar.

Darren, They didn't help me much but alot of my friends have all gone to places like forge or manpower to get them by until they could get out and hit the pavement themselves. I understand completely about debilitating back trouble and about looking for a job being a job in itself. I'm not sure what all being an "RT" has qualified you for but you dont seem like a stupid person too me so I would say that you have a pretty good chance of getting some where with one of those agencies. They love qualified people since they deal with so much scum and those who don't really want to work. I wish you luck man I know it's hard.

Sorry it took so long to respond I've been home sick since Saturday. ruined my vaca. It's a pretty strong one too I don't get sick very often, but after I got sick my girl did, then her dad,( I started out sick at their house Saturday Morning) Now my dad says he's quezzy, with all the good stuff both ends running like a bandit and no end in sight or energy to fight it. Wish you all luck with not catching what i got, and thanks for all the compliments guys.

Is that all? did I miss any one? I'm out of breath, and I'm going back to bed.

Do you have an associate's or something that you had to have for RT? I would think that would be your best asset. Or doing something at one of the hospitals/doctors offices.

i think "d" is fed up with the hiphocracy of the med field. the only problem is that jobs that amount to anything r not out there, around here at least. east coast things are "BOOMING" and along the texas/lA border. unless u want to sit in a gas station for 8 bucks a hour and be a cashier thats about all that is out there
