New TV....

50inch or there about, 55 is getting too big and I'd like over 42". I am looking at the Samsung 50" 6700. Any other thoughts or suggestions/brands I should look at?

Why the 6700? Apart from a silver base you'd be better off with the 6400.

Samsungs will be very bright but will give you the the best web browser and media player built in. Pictures not too bad either.

I was told that the 6700 has a better refresh rate etc thou I do need to look I to it

[.osiRiS]

It's still a 100hz panel just slightly faster software magic voodoo

[Growler]

so for general ATV watching and plex and bollocks the 6400 will be suffice?

or should I go up a series?

Can you sell them, am a cash buyer

Also want the Paradigm system from a few pages back.

s5 paired with with watch.. s5 is sexy samsung actually removed bloatware...  dislike telecoms BS renaming the web browser.. hid that and installed chrome.


FUCKING TELECOM  -- same shit with my S4   if you install a non branded rom the 4G option disappears because Tcom config looks at the some fucking config in their rom and approves the device for 4g authentication.. fuckers....

It's more likely a configuration issue that's automagic on their pre-installed beast.
Give them a call and they should probably either sort it or help you to sort it yourself.

But then again...

trololo telecom as a mobile provider

trololo telecom as a internet provider

trololo telecom

I did I spoke to their senior support tech, and was told exactly why it doesn't work, it has to be a telecom rom with telecom authentication codes which then allows the cell tower to broadcast back the 4g config and then the option becomes available.  With a non branded rom it fails to authenticate the handshake as a genuine telecom handset

Does telecom know nothing about android phones?

The better question is does Telecom know anything about customer satisfaction anymore,

[Pyromanik]

You chose this?
Why would you.

[Codex]

I use to think rep mattered, now every ones got lots of blue shit just for spamming all the time.

Where's your blue m8

Better watch ur scalp

anything about customer satisfaction anymore,

satisfaction anymore,

anymore

I don't understand. When did they ever?

You chose this?
Why would you.

This.

[Retardobot]

When I was with Telecom for the internets in my old place, they were pretty damn good. Always fast, upgraded the roadside box and had the roadside box repaired within 3 days after a drunk wiped it out.

huh, as a mobile phone provider wise they have had their ups and downs...  and company pays for my bill, unlimited calls, unlimited txt and 2 gb of data

[Pyromanik]

I've done snap, paradise, and (telecom+)ihug (because phone line was requirement back in the day) personally.
I've done TelstraClear & slingshit indirectly.

Out of all the things I'd never do again it would be slingshot by far. A massive margin.
But then on the opposite end of the scale snap is counter-balancing everything by being about the same margin away from the next down in awesomeness.

The others are all ok, much of the same sameness. People have good, people have bad. It happens.
Eg. I though TCL were good to me, but my mother had bad experiences.

So yeh.

Although some things (like a whole cab missing from the network) just can't be ignored, no matter how shit the provider is

[Pyromanik]

Why would you.

company

Thought so :>

It's the only logical conclusion.

and TELECOM have nothing to do with the roadside box being fixed quickly ,, that contractors like Downers or Transfield.  and in your area it's Transfield.

TV's huh?

Picked myself up a Panasonic TH-P50ST60 NeoPlasma the other day.

50 glorious inches of the most amazing picture I've seen. LED/LCD looks terrible sitting next to this contrast monster. Deep blacks and almost no motion blur what-so-ever. Brilliant playback over my network too. It's no slouch.

I really fucking want Google Glass. I could have had it today, but fuck your $1,500 Google.

[Retardobot]

$1500 seems insanely expensive.

What is it, a wifi chip. a camera and a tiny CPU?

[Clin]

I really fucking want Google Glass.

This so much. Did you hear about the app that superimposes your own face on the person you're having sex with?

Could be worth $1500.

[Clin]

No wait, I got that wrong, but only slightly.

It's called Glance and you both need a pair.

Got to use it when I was in San Fran last year, was so awesome, the price will go down after a while but if I had the cash i'd get one hah

^Lol amazing

Reminds me I need to get a tall lamp for my new room so I don't stumble through the dark to bed -____-

I don't really see a point of glass, tiny area of view, not 3d.

Meta glasses are 3d, and cover your whole vision, which would be much more useful.

But at over US$3500 for the Pro version, much more expensive as well. But the developer edition is only $600

[Codex]

404^ ??

[Clin]

[Growler]

But i would get something like that, use it for like a month and then pt it in a draw
