[Exterous]

We have a 101" screen and a blu-ray player in the home theater room for a reason. Stop getting the regular DVDs!

I fully support your rant.

Did you forget that we informed you they were Linear Phase speakers (white van scam junk) and NOT Phase Liner (good vintage stuff)?
Oops.

I buy stuff I like, but usually not movies. I have most of the Twilight Zone, every Betty Boop known to exist, LoTR, Mr Bean, and a bunch of Monty Python, and a handful of other things; mostly vintage cartoons. I still need to get TNG, MASH, and Northern Exposure. There's probably some others I'd like to get, but the above covers the essentials. I don't care about quality. You could cut DVDs in half quality wise, and I'd still be happy with it. I like seeing what I want, when I want, and without restrictions. Buying the media gives me that.

If you're gonna pirate stuff, might as well pirate at the highest possible resolution, right ZJ?

Fortunately for you 5TB HDDs are debuting in Q4 this year.

For others the quality between a compressed 720p(500MB for 42 minute TV show) and an uncompressed 1080p isn't that perceptible at a distance.

Not quite there yet

I fully support your rant.

I guess I'll have to be more specific the next time she runs errands for me. And to think she left the kitchen for this

Are they? Good to know. I wonder what the performance times will be...

Seriously. 100" is as big as I could get over the fireplace. It's 1080p and I sit about 12' from it and I hate the way it looks sometimes. I'd love 4k just to get more pixels thrown up in the same area. I can't imagine how shitty a 720p throw would look at similar size and distance.

I am no where close to 1% and I can afford:

$450 projector

$55 BRD player
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA1CZ0SG7868

Heck, I bet you can get this stuff used for HALF. Let's check eBay.

$150 shipped projector

$22 shipped BRD player
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-BD-E5700-Blu-Ray-Player-/370854642342?hash=item5658a8c2a6

People need to stop with this 1% crap.

I assume if he's doing BD he's got a 1080p projector, which typically run in the 800+ range.

4 year old Epson 1080 ub I bought for $240. By far the best deal I got when Circuit City was in liquidation

That explains why she was grumbling about having to change diapers
