  1. You may be paid less than a year of working but I would hardly say this is losing out!!! I would love to get paid 52k to do f*#kall. Hell... I'd settle for just getting weekends off!!
  2. Spotted ME being OWNED by my workmates posting in the R35 thread when I left the computer logged in!! Bastards!!
  3. Last year was approx $40-50 on top of entry... that was for all materials and a fairly elaborate lighting setup. Depends what sort of display/theme you goin for.
  4. Agreed. The death toll has remained fairly static around 100 but population has risen and cars have got safer etc. Never will be zero... purely revenue raising on straight roads in low speed zones. Should be blackspot only.
  5. suggest you guys ask (user:) whatshisname, Matt ( i think ) has real nice 33 was there last year. Mad engine bay.
  6. Nah mate, get back from vanuatu on the friday setup day... too hard for this year.
  7. Correct... my bad. Just realised I was looking at region 1 disc beforehand!! But you get the general idea anyhow....
  8. Or possibly viewing distance as mentioned above Steve.
  9. A common misconception is that bigger is better.... nope! Ever sat in the front row at the cinema? Its sh*t. The guide for sizing is that whatever the diagonal screen size you should sit a MINIMUM of three times that distance. cheers, M.
  10. Hahahaah this is great!!! monster indeed! Ok. I have sony bravia too guys... only HD 1366x768 not full HD 1920x1080. Plasma is available in full HD and was first released by panasonic in Aus. around september last year. Whether to go HD or full HD will depend on what type of viewing yo do... it all comes down to SCALING. for example a dvd uses approx 720 line images. If your tv has 768 resolution then its a virtual direct display (no scaling involved) however if you feed in a full HD image it must downscale from 1080 to fit 768. This will still give a good quality picture. Going the other way with a standard picture (approx 576 line image) and feeding it to a screen with 1080 resolution involves a large amount of scaling to make the image fit and will show just how poor standard tv and foxtel broadcasts are. ie look pretty crap. So, if you watch mostly foxtel and the occasional dvd go for a HD 1366x768 panel. If you play ps3 and want to be blu ray and future proof go for 1920x1080 as this is where all development is currently heading. Doobs... what u smokin??? Lg do not make most lcd and plasma panels. How do you explain the fact that plasma was developed by four brands... mostly FUJITSU,HITACHI, PANASONIC and NEC. Fujitsu were at one point supplying panels to 70% of the market. True that sony did not make their own plasma... it was a hitachi panel. Sony do make their own LCD tvs. They have a joint venture with samsung in korea to produce native lcd panels, then they are shipped to sonys facilities in japan for X and XBR series, or malaysia for other series where sony add their electronics etc. Further to this approx four months ago pioneer announced they could no longer compete in plasma only markets and are now purchasing SHARP lcd panels (from sharps kameyama plant in Japan) and rebadging them pioneer. They are now also buying plasma panels from panasonic and rebadging them. Sony are also looking at this possibility with regard to the japanese lcd panels from sharp. With regard to image burn on plasma... yes it is possible but highly unlikely with any late generation panels.. earlier ones not so good. I have personally left a static image on a pansonic plasma in our shop for 9 hours straight which resulted in slight image retention or ghost image. After running said panel for another couple of hours on normal tv this has gone. However if you are a big gaming fan I suggest LCD. sorry for long post guys... could probably keep going!! cheers Martin.
  11. Woah back fellas.... some truth and some bullshit here. I have been in the industry for about six years now and specialize in audio visual equipment. I work at Keith Bowden Electrical six days a week and do this stuff all day. Its a simple case of you get what you pay for....Go for a quality brand for sure. Yes it is possible for plasma to burn but I have never had one returned coz it has. They have many anti-burn features these days. There are many options for 2k.... eg latest panasonic 50 inch HD plasma. I am happy to provide advice/ assistance/ price. Give me a buzz at work .... 8277 4133 cheers Martin.
