Thanks for Hi-jacking another thread......
What is it with people here these days. Always got to turn a perfectly good arguement into personal vendetta's. I'm not an exception there and have said a few things out of line recently. For which i've already apologised for.
However...
Just for you Ad!
The meaning which i'm fully conversant with, just in case you aren't!

If you'd care to look this one up for future reference also!!!

Looks like i'm mis-reading you and your posts i guess??
To further expand on what i was trying to say in a short sentence, i don't walk into an AV shop and buy the first thing that looks like it's the best.
I'm not going to be all anal and annorak here but things like:
Dynamic Contrast Ratio?
Resolution?
Sound Output(RMS) ?
Input & Output (HDMI etc)?
100Hz?
Those are to name
but j
ust a few! So as you can see there are others here which have a fair idea of whats good & bad with regards to TV equipment. If i don't know something i ask somone who i think would know and then further research it! So that i might understand better. I don't just spout off stuff i've no idea about (not saying you are btw). I've a fairly judgemental attitude about products and will only by what i've thought is good myself, nothing to do with media hype and the like. Call it an informed decision!
so you walk into a good AV store and judge the pic quality from what you see?
A very silly statement. Here's why. I trust my eyes when i'm looking at the quality of something. If you do not then there's something very wrong here!
Here's an anology:
If an image is blocky, pixelated and has a fair amount of noise does that make it a good image? Well that would depend on what the image was and what you were using it for. Is it a bad image? Variables?!
And another:
Why is the Veyron so good? Why is it so expensive? Why are B&O also good, why do they command a price tag as such?? I've a fair idea why.
A TV has but two "Primary" uses, to display moving/still images visually & also output the sound to accompany those images. The quality of those images/sounds depends on variables like (but not reliant on) for instance the above annorak list.
A stunning TV for me is something which has a big visual impact on my senses. That would include sound also. So yes B&O does do it for me and ticks all the right boxes. Their design is second to none, the materials used to make the designs are also of superior quality, metals sometimes substitute plasitcs. Gotta love metal items, when it comes to consumer electronics, just feels and looks very solid. I dont have a B&O TV but would sure like one.
Next time you are in town go look in your B&O AV outlet and tell me they aren't nice. But, make sure you get a full demo of the capabilities, don't judge it by what you think they look like!
