lol, I should've said Outlaws Steve

A famous footballer (Magarey medalist) here in SA and good mate of mine had real bad image burn from a Pioneer Plasma after 11 months. Radio Rentals replaced it with an LCD.....he paid the difference. Just a question about the above brands......so don't give me another smart arse answer or I'll jump thru ya monitor and tear ya head off......are all those brands with that resolution actually plasma? I'm definitely no expert in this field but 5 years doesn't make you a rocket scientist either.....my brother has been doing it for 17 years and my brother in law since the late 70's so I'll need to clarify info with them.

Maayyyte, I know that..........I'm saying that to get the full advantage of the blue ray disc, you need LCD

what about Blue Ray discs steve Not for image burn i bet So Sony aren't focusing on their LCD range now and are still selling Plasma under their tag.......crap! I never said Sony manufactured their own panels, I was talking about future sales......read before you type pal who makes a true 1920 x 1080 Plasma by the way.....just curious?

Thats a very good price Chad although I reckon I saw someone on here that could get them for $1150 AU each ($2300 AU pair) Yours are probably still a tad cheaper even with the conversion rate but they need to come from the US

Plasma = 1366 x 768 Max LCD = 1920 x 1080 How can plama quote true 1080i HD then? Was never an issue with SD but just because you can send a HD signal thru a Plasma, doesn't mean you get true HD......only possible with LCD! Sony who have been the innovators of TV for decades are phasing out Plasma for their LCD Bravia range........and prices are coming down on LCD so why would you bother with Plasma. Big Radio Rentals store at Melrose Pk have stuff all Plasma now and are concentrating on the future, HD 1080i LCD.

My brother works at the Munno Para store

LCD's don't but plasmas still do bro.....go into most dept stores these days and you'll see them clearing all stock of plasmas and focusing on LCD's (now that they are coming down in price) because of all the returns on plasmas

yeah, bugger that can you imagine me hijacking a bus each day to do obs......i'd never stand out :laughing-smiley-014:

Thanks for the PM Kahli but I just noticed the date being July 5th.....my mate's getting married that day so I'll be at the reception. Might be able to ring someone and catch up with you later that night.

Whatta ya mean, I thought you were going to help me change it Deano!!

That's some good research Andy, I didn't know the exact figures but I knew they would be way out there.....just confirms everything we're saying, thanks

Yeah shame its not summer....a quiet beer outside the Espy @ Brighton on a balmy night FTW.....Deluxe will 2nd that!

hairdresser?

Anyone with 7000 posts has obviously got a few friends on here and can afford to take the piss occasionally. While you're still abit wet behind the ears, probably not a good idea to upset the locals too much.........as Damo said, enough room for that stuff on ns.com Have a nice day boys

Yeah I reckon you're due to come out fella

yeah not wrong Dan...I've been run off my feet with work lately....too many crooks & not enough baseball bats. I get home stuffed sometimes and can't avoid the reports piling up.....I hope to catch up soon though.

Gee it couldn't have been AFR's or ignition or anything like that eyy?! I assume you had the fuel tested in a lab to come to that conclusion.

No harm done Son.....it's all good Very good & insightfull post.

lol, I can't believe this thread!!! The people that start these threads are directly associated to the opposition ie. other oil companies. As far as getting fuel prices back under $1.00 litre....WHAT A LOAD OF CROCK!!! Break up the price of fuel and you'll see that once you've removed the excise, GST, oil company cut, & servo cut, there is still over $1.00 that's directly related to the price per barrel. This email probably originated from the likes of ExxonMobil or Shell in order to do damage to their biggest competitor & which won't affect fuel prices by even 1 cent. Blame these top few countries for your fuel costs: Rank Country Proved reserves (billion barrels) 1. Saudi Arabia 264.3 2. Canada 178.8 3. Iran 132.5 4. Iraq 115.0 5. Kuwait 101.5 6. United Arab Emirates 97.8 7. Venezuela 79.7 8. Russia 60.0 9. Libya 39.1 10. Nigeria 35.9 11. United States 21.4 12. China 18.3 13. Qatar 15.2 14. Mexico 12.9 15. Algeria 11.4 16. Brazil 11.2 17. Kazakhstan 9.0 18. Norway 7.7 19. Azerbaijan 7.0 20. India 5.8 Top 20 countries 1224.5 (95%) Rest of world 68.1 (5%) World total 1,292.6 The only way that fuel may come down is if the world's biggest user of the stuff (ie USA) continues to suffer in their current recession and starts to cut back on their importation from the Saudis & Venezuala. That's the only way the oil countries will drop the price per barrel but as long as the demand is there, so will the prices increase. Bush had meetings with the Saudis in an effort to increase their production (which would in turn bring the price of oil down) but they snubbed him. The other big problem is that China 1st & India 2nd have the world's fastest growing economies at the moment, which means they will eat more and use more oil. 10 years ago they were 3rd world countries. Their economies are growing so fast that if they don't take measures to slow it down, China alone could swallow the world's resources on their own. Something to consider next time you buy something that's made in China or India.

Correct mlc, we don't call them family.........they probably still listen to the ol' 45's & even 78's. Sad thing is that you and maybe puresx are probably the only ones here that know what I'm talking about.

Yeah I wouldn't read too much into it Ben......I think some of the younger ones might be a bit shy. I get on with some folk better than others and sometimes I'm guilty of not spreading myself around so I hope no one takes it wrong and thinks that I'm not approachable.......come and say hi peeps, I won't tear your head off, lol.
