I just wish they made larger plasmas. I want an 80 in for my basement and the only options are LED's.

Technology catch-all thread
You cant go wrong with a 120 hz Samsung LED, however if you notice details of pictures and you configure your LED you will have judder and it will be something you have to adjust to. Plasmas can have some screen glare at times in a bright room, but to me it was only a few hours a day with direct sunlight and most of my TV watching was at night. I have a 7-8 year old Samsung plasma and it still dominates my brand new LED's.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 08:34 PM) Why are LED TVs so popular if plasmas have better picture? I'm not very well read, but I certainly have observed the plasma tends to look better. LEDs can be larger, lighter and thinner. The picture at times is much brighter and it appears smoother to some people when in the store. When you get it home and turn off the motion tricks it doesn't stand up to a plasma with fast motion or dark scenes. Hockey for example is incredibly better on a plasma since there isn't judder that makes the puck disappear.

NBA Thread 2013-2014
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 03:20 PM) Probably true, but Nate and Belinelli played huge roles on those teams. Nate won games single handedly. I don't see how the current team scores points unless Boozer and Deng go off. Kirk has never been a great scorer, Noah has never been a scorer at all, and anyone off the bench is going to require a set up before getting a shot. Chances are about 100% that Kirk suffers some kind of injury, so you're left with Teague or James running the offense both in primary and back-up roles. What little we've seen of Teague proves that he's a d-leaguer at best. He's nowhere close to being ready to play. James showed flashes last time he was on the roster, but he probably lost a step if he's behind Teague in the rotation. I also think mentally this team is taxed. Last year they played with the hope that Rose would come back and lead them in the playoffs. Now we know a few weeks into the season that's not going to happen. Are they going to have the same fight in them to care about these games? Especially since half the roster knows they won't be on the team later this season or next season? So true.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 11:43 AM) I'd be perfectly happy with Randle or Wiggins as well. Plus, guys like Smart and Exum would be pretty solid as well. There are a lot of of good options in this draft. Just get us in the top 5-6 and we will be good.

The only reason Conte is still playing is that his backup is worse than him.
