@handsofqwerty If you want somebody to help you get it out of your car, you can always drive it over to my house. I'll be glad to take it out of your car (and put it underneath my desk at home).

I recommend a big one.
I counter that with:
Buy one that fits/suits the room. No point in buying a 70" TV when you are going to sit a metre away from it. You won't get a good viewing experience out of it.
Also, you don't want it to look out of place in the room. -

Depends, if you like movies as they are meant to be seen (theatre) or as television used to be forced to be seen. A 70" one metre away is pretty drastic, but when I had a dedicated home theatre we were three metres away and the screen was fourteen feet and not quite big enough. It's quite amazing how hard it is to end up with a screen that is bigger than optimal.

NodeBB 0.7.0 has released. Not going to update too quickly as this is a huge update and we need to run it through some other environments first to make sure that they are working before we can do it here. As soon as we do an update and have something that works we will send some people there to play with the new interface and see if there are any issues. ML is so busy that we really need stuff to be battle tested before deploying it here.

What "fits/suits" a theatre room is different to what fits a normal room

Depends, what's the goal of having a television in any room? How often do you watch a show and think "boy, I wish that I could watch this worse?"
-
I know that sounds silly, but I really mean it. I love having rooms with no televisions in them. Heck, I live in a house with essentially no television at all now. Thanks to rural Spain. BUT, when I've had viewing devices in my homes I have never had a situation where I wanted one that was smaller. Now, how much money will I pay for a bigger one, that's something different. I have monetary caps. But as long as it would fit, I wanted the biggest, best, most comfortable viewing possible.
-
Now if you are assuming that a large television also means that it draws a lot of power, requires heavier bolts to hold, etc. okay, that makes sense. There is a size that is impractical. But I've had those situations and we just went to a different style of television to fix it.
We had an 84" as a television in our little Texas house two years ago. Worked out great. And that had to be less than two metres viewing distance.

Just took down my network.. I'm going simple with my home network after using Pfsense and servers for years. I'm taking it all out. Just a modem, DD-WRT router (with wireless turned off) and my UAP AC.

Getting ready to buy a 4k prosumer camera. (sub $5k this time) I wish I could afford to keep a Red camera for personal/hobby use lol.

Which one are you looking to get?

@scottalanmiller said:

Possibly the Panasonic HC-X1000. I'd really like to get the Panasonic DVX200 but it's not out yet. I still have my Panasonic HVX200 laying around somewhere but it's rather old and 720p/1080i only. And P2 workflow isn't used much anymore.

Morning to all!
The place yesterday.

@Joyfano is back! Where has she been?
