Are people who don't buy HDTVs cheap skates?

    IROC it,

    it think you maybe the IDIOT. 1080i LCD projector would count as an HDTV.

    HDTV=1080i

    I'm happy you care for your children and aren't Shawn Kemping around.
    Good, please plant a tree or go to an REM concert too.
    Hold hands with someone and sing "WE ARE THE WORLD"

    so based on your priorities, you don't fall into tinmans category then...
    you don't watch enough tv, sports or play enough games to warrant purchasing an hdtv. you spend more time with your family and kids.
    you also prob don't spend thousands of dollars on furniture or video games?

    so if thats the case then i don't think he is insulting you. IMO of course

    My point exactly... It doesn't matter to me. Good for me, but that's not why I bought it. I bought it to watch SW:EpIII on an 8' screen in my living room. And it actually is a waste of income IMHO. It's sharper on my "SDTV" (LOL).

    Anyone who doesn't buy HDTV is not automatically a "cheap skate" though.

    So again, keep your comments to yourself, Donkey rear.

    Go lock yourself in your 10'x10' home theater (called a bathroom by most) and sing "Mr. Lonely."

    Pocket,

    its just a smoke screen, cause he's jealous of my Clutchfans bbs skills. he has an hdtv (projector). i'm actually very happy Iroc posted that, jealousy is the ultimate compliment.

    as long as i bring the subject of high-def to light, i'm happy. if i could turn one cheapskate who was going to waste his $2000 on shinny rims to get a new HDTV (listen IROC, a PROJECTOR, TV, PLASMA, LCD ETC) so he can enjoy movies, dvds, sports, video games, then my mission has been accomplished.

    Imagine there's no Heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace

    You may say that I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world

    You may say that I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will live as one

    obviously, you dont know how to optomize your projector with the correct dvd player (upconversion would help).

    oh! IROC it, do i sense name calling?? anger??!!!

    Good, I can feel your anger. I am unarmed. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete.

    whatever dude!
    you know i wasnt talking about you. i was taking your reply for calling me a 'pyscho'
    and reiterating my point that if 'you - being anybody' fit in
    1. 2. 3. 4., then my opinion is that 'you -being anybody' is a cheap MF b*stard.
    thats the theme of the entire thread. i have freaking clue what equipment you have! but thanks again for tell me. if you get a hd-convert dvd player for $99, then you our star wars would look nice.

    do you own any cantoni furniture? :)

    I spent more on my furniture elsewhere. But again, it's a priority, not an indication of "cheapskate" If your friends do that.

    That's the "theme" of my posts.

    You're obsessing, dude. And I've seen long time posters get the heave for less. It's all just entertaining to me. I've not had anyone really reply like that to me in a good while, so I was seeing where it would go.

    No big.



    But you're obsessing nonethelesss. :p K-Mart? :D

    if people want the thread to die, then they can just stop replying. but they keep on replying! they want more!

    if you filter out my threads on this post, you do get some good info on some of the clutchfan's systems.

    I'm amazed this thread has gotten so much response. I post something about Ralph Sampson going to jail, and it doesnt stir any passionate debate. :mad:

    like I said, if I made one clutchfan happy for buying a nice TV so he can watch HD-NBA or HD-FOOTBALL. This thread has served its purpose! ;)

    you seem to have some type of OCD.

    i never thought it was possible, but the time has come where a thread starter has actually hijacked his own thread:

    Replies: tinman 72

    Kam,
    you need to read on your Rockets history. Ralph Sampson has cemented himself in Rockets lore as one of the backbones of the legendary team that brought down Magic Johson and Kareem! The team that went toe to toe with the Celtics!

    obviously codell you:

    1. have no opinions on the topic of HDTV with your post
    2. are not engaging enough to start a post that stirs the passions of clutchfans
    3. people enjoy posting on my threads and i enjoy replying
    4. you are obsessed with me.. i'm your hero
