All post this week have been suspended. The reason for this is because I can’t tear myself away from my new TV and PS3 to write anything properly. The normal schedule will resume next week… I hope.

Continuing this week with “You Suck At Photoshop”. Here is the second half of season one. Enjoy!

You Suck at Photoshop #6: Filter: Liquify

You Suck at Photoshop #7: Patch Tools and Levels

You Suck at Photoshop #8: 3D Layers

You Suck At Photoshop #9: Curves

You Suck At Photoshop #10: Vanishing Point

This is techy. I shot a 10 minute video of myself unboxing the special edition PS3. Might be boring for some, but if your into it, or you crave the sound of my voice then here you go.

MGS4 PS3 Unboxing

Decisions…decisions…decisions. I’m not the type to make big purchases without doing my research, then doing more research. Well after the “more” research I have decided against the 2 choices I had on last week’s Tech Thursday.

Now I am confident that the two choices below are the ones that I want. I’ll state their specs and add a poll at the end.

HDTV #1

SAMSUNG 32-inch LCD TV LN32A550P1

Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution

15000:1 dynamic contrast

3 HDMI (1.3)

5 ms panel reaction speed

Component video: 2 rear (Y, Pb, Pr)

A/V inputs: 1 rear/ 1 side

S-Video: 1 side

PC input: 1 rear

RF antenna inputs

Wiselink (USB 2.0)

Headphone jack: 1

1 Year Warranty

HDTV #2

Proton 37-inch LCD TV 37-TF68P

Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution

1000:1 dynamic contrast

1 HDMI

8 ms panel reaction speed

Brightness: 550cd/m2

Component video: 2 rear (Y, Pb, Pr)

A/V inputs: 1

S-Video: 1

PC input: 1

Proton’s panels are made by Hitachi

As you can see somethings are better than others. While Samsung is a brand most people know of and has some better features, the Proton is bigger and about $5000NT($165USD) cheaper. I’m no expert, so I need some votes to sway me. Hopefully very soon, since my PS3 demands a sacrifice. Voting ends this Friday (07/04). Also remember this is for a small room, and I’ll be sitting about 1-1.5 meters(about 6 feet) away.

Which To Buy?
