It’s a bit large…
Yesterday I took delivery of my new 32" Samsung LE32R87BDX (big mouthful thar) HDTV. I have been agonising over purchasing a HD screen for ages now but finally jumped on board after the recent purchase of my Xbox 360’s HD-DVD player. While I was day-dreaming away in my office at work, the delivery man phones up saying that he’s just delivered it at my home. I almost got knocked out by an Australian backpacker as I jumped onto the bus and dashed home…to find the biggest box I’ve seen in ages. Took me a solid 10 minutes just to drag the box up to my room!
Upon unpacking the screen, it’s just hard to describe how gorgeous the thing looks in it’s lovely reflective finish, which sadly also makes it a fingerprint magnet. HD video on it looks utterly crystal clear and so defined, once you turn off the post processing features that are enabled by default. This thing is gorgeous. Now for those who will tell me to wall mount it, I’m afraid it’s not possible on these walls….they’re made of something that isn’t your standard household masonry. Suffice to say that drilling into these walls is a mission and a half and I will end up with a huge amount of broken drill bits - I speak from experience.
Sadly I had to ditch my twin 19" Widescreen TFT’s that I use with my PC, just so I could fit that HDTV on my desk. So I’m back to a single 20.1" Widescreen for the PC now. Not good, it feels really odd to work with. Anyway, it’s a Bank Holiday weekend (Monday is a public holiday) so I’ll be spending it with me girlfriend chilling out and watching HD-DVD’s on me new tele \o/
