Random Win: The irl Fuck Ya thread

The correct response was what do you mean you people?

I thought you knew? We're the most racist city in all of Canada according to MacLeans. It eludes us like the Penguins performance in the playoffs.

No, no. You guys put up a few signs around the city and negated that.

Again you are confusing the connection between smart and dumb tv's and panels. Obviously a low end tv and a high end tv are going to use different electronics to drive the panel (most of the actual lcd panels are exactly the same and are only made by a handful of companies in the world.)

This has nothing to do with smart vs. dumb tv's. Most companies if you look have higher end dumb tv's that correspond to each smart version.

At some point they may be phasing out the dumb tv's because it is more economical or they want to push the smart tv's more or because they can eek out a little bit more money from consumers but there isn't actually any connection between picture and panel quality and the addition of smart features in a tv.

Brightness and color and other things like that are settings that you can change and control. TV's leave the factory with settings that set the tv at the extreme that make it "look" better in the short term but in reality make it look worse. They set the tv's for the sales floor not for the home.

For a sales person you sure do sound uninformed about tv's, you know you are not supposed to buy into your own bullshit.

I was a tv sales person for 3 years too.

6:30, just coming back from a long night out, but yes there are only about three companies making panels in the world.

Doesn't mean dumb TVs get the best picture quality. Which is my whole point. As far as the comment about higher end dumb TVs that are similar to smart I gave the specific example of the UN<size>f h/fh500x series vs the UNf/h/fh520x as that example.

Give me a serious mainstream dumb TV that is better than a smart one in terms of overall picture quality. My point was that's the reason you get a smart tv if you have PS4 etc, because the better TVs, LG OLEDs w/e, are almost all fully smart.

I'll assume MacLean's is some sort of lumberjack publication.

Can we stop calling them dumb tvs? The only difference is a smart tv has a Wi-Fi card in it and comes with a few shitty apps, all of which can be achieved for less of a premium with something like a chromecast. You pay more soley for that feature. The panel is the same, the bezels are the same, the thickness, the picture, resolution, refresh rate, etc are all the same. You are just paying $100-200 for a built in $35 dollar chromecast. In fact, there's a lot of non smart tv's that will have better refresh rates and such. Obviously most newer tv's are going to have smart features included to up the premium cost more for the consumer, but don't kid yourself thinking that being labeled smart actually makes more of a difference than having a chromecast.

Just go to order 2 new 24 inch monitors for work. Which means my old double setup comes home! No more gaming on a 40in TV with shitty refresh rates. I will be a real gamer nao.

Thank you!

There isn't anything else to say about the subject.

I really wish these tvs just had plain bluetooth so you can play movies and videos from any phones and tablets as well, wifi is a give or take since I want to ethernet to get extreme HD streaming anyway etc

Publix, you the real MVP.

[Astylla]

Publix, you the real MVP.

I miss Publix. I worked for them in Florida when I was 18/19. Their deli subs were the best back then. Back then minimum wage was $4.75 fuck I'm old lol.

[zoobernut]

Today I got to meet someone at my work who used to work for Dreamworks and is not on his way to go work for WETA. We got to talk shop about the special effects that he worked on in some of the Dreamworks movies. Was very cool.

Won a lot of 6 Genesis games for 26.00 bucks on eBay. Ended up with Airbusters which sells for over 30 on Amazon and Rings of Power that sells for just under 20. Not to mention the other four games. If all sell on Amazon I'll clear about 80 bucks.

[Ksandra]

All Seinfeld episodes are now on Hulu.

[Melena]

Managed to score a Pit Amiibo on Amazon when it flickered for about 60 seconds. Soon as I receive it next week, I can flip my Japanese one for something else.

[Josiahkf]

Did you see jerry on a late night show discussing it? Was hilarious lol
Pretty much said "Usually people do a pre-show but I said fuck you guys I'm not doing one, I don't even want to be here. You called me so many times I said fine fuck I'll come already." And they bantered a bit lol

[Ksandra]

Haha awesome. I'll check it out!

[Airenn]

Publix subs were the bestest and I truly miss their deals as well. West Coast, you ain't got (hardly) nothing on Publix! Von's is aight tho.

[Ksandra]

Von's sucks balls. Really overpriced and never has the brand I want.
