Sent for you yesterday (well. almost) and here you come today

I think it is pretty amazing that I ordered a TV on Sunday, from Amazon, and it arrived today. No, I did not request expedited shipment—in fact, shipment was free, and there was no tax. Couldn't resist a 37" Toshiba for $580.

Now I'd better rearrange the pictures on my wall.

Wow, looks smaller than my 32" Sony! Must just be the angle of the dangle.

Congrats, great deal. I love my HDTV, it's changed my watching world!

[Christiern]

Thanks, Lon, I think I might fall in love with Toshiba

If you consider tht the amplifier and DVD player are normal component width, does it still look like a 32?

It's just because of Chris' giant ancestors and their glaring disapproval from above.

[Dave James]

OK, Chris, fess up. What are we talking about speaker-wise with those triangular shaped enclosures? I don't think I've seen anything like that since my heavy duty stereo days way back in the '70's.

Up over and out.

Some interesting little paintings to the right. How about a close up of those, Chris? Any word on their history and provenance?

[Christiern]

Dave, you nailed the time re my speakers. I've had them since the mid-Seventies. Don't recall much about them except that they were called "Pyramid" (or something like that) and they cost about $2,500 each at the time. Very outdated, I'm afraid, but they still work.

Paintings and provenance coming upin the next few days.

We gotta move up to color tv soon.

[jazzbo]

Chris, yes it looks like a 37" in that second image, it was just the angle of the first one.

I'm sure that is one fine TV. I love Hi-Def! And I love how dvds and Blu-Rays look. I didn't know what I was missing!

Cool speakers. . . are they Ohm speakers, they look as if they might be.

[Chuck Nessa]

Old speakers be good. The best set I have are ADS/Braun from the '70s.

My wife and I are shopping for a TV- my 1988 RCA 27 inch tube doesn't die- no matter what is done to it. Not sure what to get- it can't be more than 42 inches.

Is that an LCD or Plasma?

[jazzbo]

I've bought two Sony LCDs, a 32" and 26" . . . LOVE them. No problems, excellent pictures.

[Christiern]

LCD. You'll find detail here.

[makpjazz57]

I bought a 26" Toshiba LCD about a year ago and I have no complaints. The sound out of the built in stereo speakers is ver good. There certainly is a difference in the picture - regular channels vs. HD channels. Oh, and my jazz video collection look and sounds magnificent!

Congratulations!

Nice tv and a really nice price. The same set bought in Tokyo would cost almost double.

The slow motion crash of the dollar against the yen is going to push prices up a lot.

If GM goes bust I dread to think what will happen to the rate, it could end up losing 30% or more of it's value compared with a few months ago. If that happens you'll see a dramatic rise in the price of Japanese imported goods.

I wouldn't hesitate for second to buy such a nice tv for such a ridiculously low price.
