^^^ So I guess no ACD for you then.:p

Looks nice......

Haha, nope. Not right now at least.

My 23" HP monitor is more than sufficient for my needs. Though after watching an LED TV, i'm not sure if it'll stay that way.

I must ask, why did you buy this in-store? Do you live in a state where Amazon charges tax?

You know I wonder the same thing every time I see/hear of people buying from Best Buy. Their prices aren't good. Their sales staff is awful. So, what's the lure? Instant gratification?

There were having a pretty awesome deal. 50" 3D tv, with the 3D starter kit and 1 HDMI cable for $1600. So it was a no brainer, plus everytime I've been to Best Buy, the staff has always been helpful, and they always have great deals, so I'm sorry u haven't had good experiences at Best Buy, and yes, I do have sales tax where I live.

Kind off topic now. I was one of those people that thought 3D TVs were a waste of money and that u wouldn't get the same experience that u get at the theater. Boy, was I wrong. My jaw dropped when I first saw the 3D in this TV. Totally worth the money.

Since you got a good deal and good service then you've achieved what most people look for in a buying experience. Sounds like you've now got yourself a nice home theater setup. Congratulations.

ahh nice gimme! ive never heard of Serengeti except for the plain :p how do they compare to Ray Bans? less expensive substitute?

Price-wise, around the same or more.

I bought them off a sunglasses website (one of many out there) that sells "last year's model". I bought them for $140 each, and am having them ship to Australia. They sell for over $300 Australian dollars, so when I ordered from the US, I purchased 2 pairs to save myself the hassle after I lose them. :eek:

Oh, and yes they're real. They're one of the only companies who use real glass lenses, and their lenses selectively filter out some wavelengths/colours better than others, making them pop. Also, they get slightly darker when it's bright outside, and lighter when it's dark. They're sort of like "Transition" lenses, except they don't change as drastically. These glasses would be difficult to fake. If you ask an optometrist what he thinks of Serengeti, I'm sure he'll tell you they're probably the best lenses in the business. ;)

The designs are OK, but they don't do the crazy trendy designs. That's OK though. I don't want massive plastic glasses that make me look like a bug. :p Just give me my medium aviators and I'm set.

^^That looks amazing!


Favorite show on TV at the moment. Just bought the DVD so I can loan it out to friends that haven't been introduced, that way they don't have to come to my house to watch it on my iTunes.
