Fine, but I would expect you to attribute the source.

I didn't say 'Google it' at all :/
Also, it's a bit inpractical to direct you to the source all the time. This isn't academia. This is an internet forum.

derp, derp.

Dee Unit, you know the flaws of in-store viewings right?

e.g. they calibrate only the ones that want to sell to you (see highest profit margin), or more likely they aren't calibrated at all + you'll more than likely buy one that fits your flawed beliefs of a product, wether it's scitifically right or wrong. e.g. fanboism / marketing.

Funnily enough, when I wrote 'Google it', I was referring to the person who told me to 'Google it'. Not you. Derp.

But I do appreciate your reiteration of the point I made at the very start.

Well then you should have said, "I've got some charts showing it has the best picture". Not, "It looked better than the other ones in store". And I would have been all like, "Oh coolies, that's pretty good and stuff".

I have no beef with your TV, it may well be the best. Probably the main issue is that I'm very argumentative, and very bored.

Come on, it's like calibrating some geological equipment so it preforms better and more accurately.
all display devices should be calibrated, regardless on technology.

It's completely different from that. Our geological equipment deals with samples that are already preformed. It doesn't need to preform them any better, or you get laboratory artifacts....But I'm just joshing you and your atrocious spelling :P

I would have just said "between 3pm and 8pm".




Also, wtf meme font is impact?
Way too spaced for that by my eye. But I'm no font defender special.

MONEY ON ARIAL BLACK!?
MONEY ON IMPACT!?
MONEY ON ARIAL!?
MONEY ON VERDANA!?

I would have said Helvetica, but it doesn't come with windows.




Wide latin was my goto font in wordart hardcore computing class of 98, makes the mean headers
Arial black was used on the odd occasion if I needed sans-serif.



Also, for those of you who might care out there (Emrico)... I made a breakthrough discovery today to make my life a bazillion times easier.
It's called DD_roundies. And it sexes me up. ROUNDED BORDERS IN INTERNET EXPLORER 5.5 AND UP, OH YOU SO SEXY!
