I broke my tv!!!!! - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-ray Fanatic · 04-25-2011, 12:21 AM

So earlier today, I got into an argument with my father and I lost my temper and threw my Blackberry into the tv screen.

Just click on the link to see it: 024.jpg

Now here's the situation. I need a new HDTV immediately that's at least $700 or below. I've been thinking about buying a Panasonic plasma but other considerations are helpful. The HDTV has to be 1080p with 600hz.

seems like it's been a great Easter for you!

i don't know any exact models, but i would look into a Sony Bravia. unless you absolutely wanted a plasma. i would start looking on amazon, and depending where you live, no tax if you do get it from amazon

Wow! That sucks dude.
I have a Panasonic TC-P42S1, and I love it! I found this on Amazon, and thought you might be interested.

Good luck!

Blu-ray Fanatic · 04-25-2011, 01:21 AM

Actually I was kinda leaning towards the Panasonic TC-P42S30 from Best Buy. It's on sale for $719 + tax but I don't know anything about this tv. I'm aware of the reviews but has anyone had it for a long time? Anything I should be aware of?

That's a good deal but the shipping and handling kills it.

frogmort · 04-25-2011, 01:45 AM

I couldn't find any reviews on it (TC-P42S30), but the cheapest I could find it was $678.70 with free shipping.

Counting the tax from Best Buy(at least in my area), this would be $106.81 less!

Have you ordered from them? I've never heard of that company so I need some reviews.

Alright thanks for the link. I feel more confident now. Now, it's time for a mandatory upgrade to a better tv!

Maybe next time, just punch the wall, it would be cheaper in the long run!

A long time ago, I was having an argument with my(now ex)wife, and I threw a small lamp at my brand new 27" CRT tv and destroyed both the lamp and the tv, so I kind of know what you're going through.
Good luck!

When I was a teen, I was swinging a steel ball bearing around in a bandana. Flew right out and went straight through the screen of my 26" CRT TV, while it was on. A good show of sparks

frogmort · 04-25-2011, 02:52 AM

I did find this: " Review Summary: alaTest has collected and analyzed 27 reviews of TCP50S30 from international magazines and websites.

The Verdict: Users rate this product 94/100. Comparing these reviews to 300647 other TVs reviews gives this product an overall alaScore 89/100 = Very Good. "

In fact the Blackberry did survive. It fell into three pieces but I was able to put it back together and it still works. There's some damage on it though.

You see today is Easter and I wanted to relax but my father doesn't believe in Jesus so he pretends its just a typical day (bossing me around like if I was nothing important to him).

Don't feel bad, I did the same this (only with my fist) on my Samsung.

Sounds like it's time to knock pops out.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Do u have accidental damage insurance on your contents policy? I've got it for all my stuff, it can really come in handy and all it costs is a few dollars extra a month. I broke my iphone not long ago and even it was covered, my insurance company sent me a $1200 cheque, which was the price it was listed for on my phone contract paper work.

Man, that's just plain idiotic. Hope your Crackberry is broken as well. Us grown ups don't act so stupidly.
