I was unaware they made a 32" model of their LED series. Price?
Click to expand...

Samsung UE32B6000VW LED HD Ready 1080p Digital Television, 32 Inch -

I bought mine for £799 from john lewis department store in london (slightly more pricey than you can get it as it included a 5 year warranty)

LINK - http://www.johnlewis.com/230604751/Product.aspx

just to clear something up - the DISPLAY is LCD the BACKLIGHT is led - low power consumption, sharper colours and extreme thinness are the result of this and why the 32" is expensive - after playing cod waw, cod 4 and gta 4 im very impressed!

out of the eleven pictures you felt the need to post, five were mac setup related. just an fyi.

I have a mac - it is in my setup the pictures that i posted in the thread Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 10) are pictures of my setup, which includes and are completely centered around my mac and the workspace in which its used. Some examples of posts where there are pics not exclusively of the mac in a given setup.

These are from 3 pages in part 9 of this thread.

Lord Adama's post has 3 out of 5 pics not depicting his mac but showing his setup. obey908 - 3 out of 6. SchneiderMan - picture of a light bulb they were recommending. MAC-PRO-DEMON - pictures of dogs. And last but by no means the only one Darius_Latamus - with 10 pictures out of 20 (and it is a most excellent setup) focusing on his mac.

so in conclusion, if you feel the need to waste time and effort to post a one line deprecating statement, (including something in a quote which i did not say) next time have a think if what your writing is a. correct and b. not going to make you sound a little bit asinine.

just an fyi.

@monkey86: Why do you have 2 Xbox 360s?
Click to expand...

2 reasons, 1 - its amazing playing co op with your own screen rather than split screen and 2 - my girlfriend is really into rpg's (final fantasy and star ocean etc) and i play fps's sports and racing so i don't want to have to wait to play while she is spending a couple hours finding creatures or treasure haha!

there is a method in the madness, i cant wait to get my mini dvi to hdmi so i can use the massive screen as my external monitor :D

yeah, it's suppose to be better to keep the subwoofer on the ground. I think you get better sound that way too, and instead of your desk shaking, your ground shakes!

Not much has changed since my last update. Just made the "Genius" wallpaper. PM me if you want it. It's still not the final version, but the idea is solid. Just a bit of polishing to do :cool:

The idea is indeed not bad, but try to change the font color, black doesn't really fit in my opinion.

Kind of what I was thinking, but the text from the bar is indeed black. Maybe a light gray would suffice?
I started out with the background a darker gray color, but it looked very plain.
