1164157 2010-12-24 21:51:00 Merry Christmas everyone! What a beautiful :clap sunny day!!!


My xmas present is a Blu Ray :) player that arrived a couple of days ago. It was a free bonus that came with our new 42in LCD tv, but took several weeks to arrive after registering online.

I must say that I am very impressed with both the TV and Blu Ray player - both LG. When I first watched a Blu Ray movie I thought "meh", it does not look all that much better than an ordinary DVD... but after a short while the scene in the movie changed from a dim interior to a bright outdoor scene and it was like looking through a window (without glass) - really spectacular.

I also bought a xmas 'gift' for myself: a 10m ethernet cable to connect the new tv to the internet ('Netcast'). Could have done it wireless but that would have cost $60 more. Use internet tv mainly for Aljazeera news and Facebook. I can see internet tv becoming the norm, especially as Netcast opens up to more sites.


I hope all of you have a great day - don't eat too much :rolleyes: and watch your speed as these holidays have a "5 kph no tolerance".

1164159 2010-12-24 22:57:00 I got a cuddly wake up hug from my son, then a dazzling smile and tackle hug (at least he tried to tackle hehe) when he opened his presents.

What more could I want.
