Did you buy their 4 yr warranty plan? If you did and it's within the 4 yrs, call them and they come out to your home and if it's unfixable, you'llget a new tv

 

[targiu23]

does anyone know how to play blu-ray mkv files on the ps3?

 

[juicy j 32]

What's the best value for a 54-58" 1080p plasma out there?

Ideally I would like to spend $1500-1700 for a quality plasma. I'm hoping black friday will have some sick deals.

Download PS3 Media Server. Install it, Open it, It will detect your PS3 and merge with it.

Go to your dashboard on your PS3, under video search for media servers, it should pop up. All this does is allows you to stream files from your PC to your PS3,even if they are not compatible.

Find the file, click on the TRANSCODER file once you find it, then copy it to your ps3 or just stream it and watch it. It converts the file for you an allowsit to work.

Trust me, once you've dloaded the proram it'll work alot easier than how I explained it.

I would recommend the Panasonic 54G10 or 58S1 in that size/price range

My friend is trying to sell me this for 450....should I pull the trigger?

at best buy, you dont even need to buy the plan on their TVs that are 37 inches and up ( I think thats the limit)
I bought my 1st panasonic 42 in. plasma and somehow, more than a yr later, the board had cracked inside *shrugs*
I called Best Buy and they sent someone to repair but he couldnt so they told me to come in the store and get a replacement of equal or lesser price.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

I dunno gunna... I never heard of someone getting a TV replaced without warranty after a year of owning and i was workin there up at customer service for overa year...

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Almost finished with the box I made for my Center... Stain just needs to be darkened but it was getting real annoying putting coat after coat on so i just putit on anyways...



Throwing in a before pic from when I first moved in for comparison.
