Roommate needs a new tv desperately.

We're looking into a quick fix. Nothing expensive, particularly in the 150-200 dollar range.

We're looking at 22-24 inch lcd tv's with hdmi ports. Those are easy to come by but we're not sure how good these tvs are.

He has an 28 inch sdtv, which is fried. Will switching to a 22 inch lcdtv with hdmi, he's a gamer btw, make a noticeable difference?

I let him use my ps3 sometimes, and he can't make heads or tails what the fuck they're saying in Dynasty Warriors 7 because the text is so small. Will a 720p 22-24 inch lcd hdtv help him out? He's also a big movie watcher and is thinking of getting a blu ray player with it. Will this tv just make the blu rays look like slightly better dvds or will he REALLY notice a quality difference?

Just wondering because this is a cheap, quick fix. He's saving up for a 50 inch in the mean time and needs a replacement tv because his old one is fried.

ya it will help. If he sits a foot and a half away from the tv.

You can get a 22-24 inch 1080p monitor with hdmi input for that price range btw.

Why are you shopping for a TV for your roommate, unless he's your boyfriend

Himu · « **Reply #3 on:** April 07, 2011, 10:00:38 PM »

No, I'm helping him. He knows nothing about hdtvs.

Sigh.

Can someone please post pertinent information?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #8 on:** April 08, 2011, 12:08:26 AM »

well Himu always goes on about how he's not into "orca" white women, often unprovoked.

Conclusion: he's actually a self hating big white woman lover.

Personally I love big bitches with big tits

pilonv1 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 08, 2011, 12:15:44 AM »

1st reply contained the best info - get a 24" LCD monitor, not a TV. Might make things tricky for watching normal TV (if people still do that) but as a short term solution for gaming it's a great choice.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #10 on:** April 08, 2011, 12:18:36 AM »

yeah TV is shit anyway, just get a nice little monitor and plug a pc in to stream shit if you really need to

Himu what was the name of that big fat bitch that was in band? The one that hated me for making the boom sounds when she walked?

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #13 on:** April 11, 2011, 12:54:27 PM »

I may be wrong but if you do end up getting a Monitor instead of a TV you should be able to still watch Cable TV via the Monitor if you get/already own a top box that came with the cable service. The differentiator between a TV and Monitor is the TV Tuner.

holy fuck, i'm trying to remember but i can't

was that the same orca bitch who sexually harassed me at band practice?

Mupepe · « **Reply #16 on:** April 11, 2011, 03:13:16 PM »

I don't remember! It's amazing how I can remember the names of all the hot girls from school but I can't think of any of the fat girl names.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #17 on:** April 11, 2011, 03:46:27 PM »

I may not know her name but I bet she looked like this

Himu · « **Reply #18 on:** April 11, 2011, 03:49:38 PM »

she was black.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #19 on:** April 11, 2011, 03:53:35 PM »

So is this girl. She's just all rolled up in flour and ready for you, Himu.

Himu · « **Reply #20 on:** April 11, 2011, 03:56:21 PM »

I want to barf when i remember that day that orca bitch took me aside, with mupepe right next to me, and put my hand on her tits.

mupepe left like the bitch friend he is and she proceded to feel my dick to see if i was hard after feeling her tits

disgusting.

the best part about it was i went to the girl I liked at the time, who also in band. We liked each other. I told her what happened and she flipped and it was black cat fight on the band practice sidelines.

Amazing.

High School owned.

Mupepe · « **Reply #21 on:** April 11, 2011, 05:13:10 PM »

high school was amazing. I wasn't going to sit around and watch you get ham fucked by her. Gross. That class was fun as fuck though. Didn't care for that marching band BS though.

Himu · « **Reply #22 on:** April 11, 2011, 05:54:52 PM »

Marching part of band sucked but band in MS and HS was definitely the best class. I quit and didn't sign up in Senior year though, because Mr. Caston put me on tuba because apparently my lips were "too big for my trombone". I cherished that trombone. Tuba sucks. So the rest of my junior year I just made random noises and didn't play a lick. At the final concert I didn't play a note.

Fuck you for putting me on tuba.

Mupepe · « **Reply #23 on:** April 12, 2011, 10:35:26 AM »

haha he switched Bobby to tuba too (from fucking trumpet which makes even less sense!). But that's alright, it gave me a chance to learn how to play tuba with bobby's shit. Trombone was the shit. I remember getting first chair for being the only person in class that could play a certain section. I was so proud. I still air play trombone sometimes from the songs I remember.

Himu · « **Reply #24 on:** April 12, 2011, 10:50:57 AM »

i don't remember any of the songs

some of the songs we played in middle school owned my fucking dick

Mupepe · « **Reply #25 on:** April 12, 2011, 10:56:23 AM »

dude i remember a bunch. i remember starts wars too. even though it's easy as hell for trombone. cgfed cgfed cgfefd.

Ode to joy too!

AHAHAHAHA THAT NEW TEACHER LOOKS LIKE YOU, ED

Haha remember sneaking out of band practice by walking off the field from Mr. Caston's blind eye?

Mupepe · « **Reply #28 on:** April 12, 2011, 11:57:02 AM »

no he doesn't!

Himu · « **Reply #29 on:** April 12, 2011, 11:57:57 AM »

Haha, next time I'm in Houston I'm totally dropping by to say hi to my old teachers.

My band and art teachers are the only teachers I remember from HS.

Mupepe · « **Reply #30 on:** April 12, 2011, 11:58:16 AM »

and yes hahaha. Mr caston was totally a child molester too. look at that pic!

Himu · « **Reply #31 on:** April 12, 2011, 11:59:31 AM »

I think I can say no teacher had as much influence on me as a person as Mr. Caston. This guy talked how he felt in the middle of class and brought the REAL TALK every single day.

Mupepe · « **Reply #32 on:** April 12, 2011, 12:00:31 PM »

I can't believe they're still using fucking geocities.

Himu · « **Reply #33 on:** April 12, 2011, 12:01:22 PM »

They aren't. It's just an old site.

Mr. Caston now works at Atascocita High School. Ms Steed is still at Humble.

Mupepe · « **Reply #34 on:** April 12, 2011, 12:03:49 PM »

Poor Ms Steed. She's stuck with all the black and hispanic kids. I bet she has a band class of like 10 kids.

Himu · « **Reply #35 on:** April 12, 2011, 12:05:18 PM »

Yep.

Mr. Caston kept it real. Fuck niccas and beaners.

lennedsay · « **Reply #36 on:** April 12, 2011, 12:25:50 PM »

Mr Caston is a candidate for a new
