I picked up my first 4k Ultra HD tv today and the picture is crazy clear. The details are so clear that it's almost weird to see; it's definitely going to take some getting used to. I'm going to do the same thing and getting it a day or two!

Meanwhile, I watched a crusty VHS of How The Grinch Stole Christmas on my 42" HD TV and didn't mind one bit Not knocking the desire for bigger and better AV technology; just not feeling the need myself.

I'm perfectly content with Blu Ray at the moment.

Same here. I have reached the point where I no longer feel the need to upgrade my electronics unless it breaks.

Same here. I have reached the point where I no longer feel the need to upgrade my electronics unless it breaks. Well there are advantages to upgrades beyond aesthetics, sometimes. I LOVED upgrading to a flat screen TV because it allowed me to put it over my fireplace. And upgrading much of my collection to DVDs meant flatter movies which took up less space on the bookshelves. I'll upgrade for those kinds of advantages, but picture quality and audio quality aren't the kinds of things I even realize I'm missing until I upgrade, so why create a need for myself where there is none?

Last year I think Pinkfloydsound ran it. Pretty much you get assigned someone who is participating and I think there is a 15 dollar limit. You send them a geek care package.

Hopefully we decide this week as I am going to a show a week from Sunday and it's a great opportunity to shop for whomever I get. -M

I'm in too !
I gave what I thought was pretty decent and got some nice surprises too !
It was definitely fun.
Let's find out sooner than later, to give us more time to get rolling on it.

I'll start a thread and get the ball rolling, if someone wants to take over coordinating it (of if pfs wants to do it again), I'll be happy to step aside.

I'm not a crazy tech snob myself, but my wife's been wanting a tv for the bedroom for a while now and we just happened to get in tv's as a Black Friday door buster and the price was crazy. It was 250 for a 40" and with my employee discount it went down to 225 so I would have been crazy nor to snag one.

I definitely wasn't criticizing your purchase, btw. And, at that price, who wouldn't snap it up? We have three TVs in the house. A 42" 1081p that the whole family uses in the living room, a 38" 780p that the kids use in the attic, and a 22" 780p in my bedroom that never ever gets used at all. And I'm about to throw out a 17" tube television that's been sitting in the basement of the old house because I have absolutely no use for it.
