yep. When I play on xbox, I put it in Gaming mode and turn off pretty much everything.. (Cell light maxed out and stuff).. so be sure to play with that at the store. Plasmas *are* the best TVs.. but there's a higher chance of getting a lemon unfortunately.
My 55" LED was moved at the cottage because I thought its whites were too bright for me. So white that it actually makes you close your eyes even for a Bell/FutureShop commercial that has white backgrounds with their logo. I have to point out that I like to watch the tv in total darkness except for little led sticks (like in theatres) on my walls.. lol Which is why i researched a shitload on TVs for a couple of months to look for the best tv for me...
Here's what most plasmas do because of Cell Light restriction: (this is an extreme example because my tv seemed to have a bad cell light lock by the manufacturer)
I only had to call up the TV menu and the whites would get what it SHOULD be. Called tech support and they couldn't really figure it out. so when on a few forums (AVS forum is the best for TVs) and they basically told me to get a replacement tv so I did and it turned out it was pretty much it.
It's the most common problem with Plasma TVs and most normal buyers don't see it because they don't watch/play hockey. the movie mode/3d aspects were still amazing and even a light green football field you won't see a difference..
LED and Plasmas all comes down to what you like best. Brightness (LED) or really dark blacks (Plasma). Watching a movie at the cottage on my old LED (it's a year old) and on my new plasma (about 3 months old), hands down my 65" plasma in total darkness.
Its bigger and still brings better quality on the same movie.TheVisualizer

Thanks for the write up old man
Gonna keep researching I guess. I mostly play games on the TV, occasionally watch TV (mostly sports) and Blu rays and I'm trying to get the best TV I can for under 1300 for my new apt that I'm moving into next month. I figure I might be able to catch a break on the price with the deals they rollout prior to the Super Bowl

will do
AVS is the kind of place, where, the more you read, the more you don't want a tv because of all the nitpicking that goes on.
And if there are some games to be had today, I shall get on.
YOU LIKE DAT SON
That's what I find too. It is not bad place for stuff like colour calibration for your TV though.

gg's Dok, Delryk and Legit, we put together some nice dominating wins tonight
GGs last night. Sorry about that last game, I have no idea where I am when I'm off screen. I hate when I'm not around the blue line when the other team is attacking. Either I'm too deep in our end or I end up chasing them, which happened on the OT goal.
Last year was all about crushing people, now it's just positioning lol.

No problem, you've been consistently good since you comeback. The only things that have gotten you on defense are creative moves on the rush that you will learn how to recognize and defend with experience.
You probably know this but the BACK button will lock/unlock the camera on your guy/the puck so you can track yourself behind the play.
Your right, positioning is important but you can still crush people, but it seems to me to be more positional. You also need to have your stats set a certain way. Strength doesn't seem to matter as much as the Body Checking attribute when it comes to hitting.
probably will be on later tonight.

ill play after the NFL game if there's a spot open
More GG's, we can't really be stopped at this point, seems like we've hit a general ceiling in terms of top play. We can keep climbing up into the top 100 and top 50 but that just takes time, our play is consistently top notch more or less. Good job everybody.

ggs Dok, Legit, Rev, Aces, Moop and Schuey
not quite sure what you are saying in bold above, Legit?
I don't think as individuals or a club we have hit any ceiling yet. IMO there is significant individual improvement that every single one of us can still work on, and our "system" could be improved and built on as well.
Right now, we just kind of go out there skate around without any plans and our talent, chemistry, solid defense and/or great individual efforts win us most of the games we play. If we even had 1 or 2 set plays for the offensive zone/powerplay that we could execute to augment our normal stuff we could be truly deadly.
It all comes down to how much effort you guys want to put in to take your own play and the club's to the next level. I'm fine with just staying the course and improvement coming gradually, but also interested in what we could be if people were more receptive to criticism and we actually discussed tactics a little...
I was more or less referring to what you've said in that we've been able to be a top 100ish club without any real systems in place, and people just going out and free running it. I'm up for attempting a more systematic style of play, with set ups and specific responsibilities, I just wasn't sure people would be prepared for that. We have the talent that if we did, we could consistently be a top 50 and above club. I'd prefer to try and improve more quickly seeing as we're capable of it, but it depends on what others want. Either way we're winning, so I'm happy.
Looks like we'll have to implement a team wide pregame requirement of at least 3 bong rips.
Rev keys to success
1. 3 bong rips
2. play on an inconsistent basis
3. talk to your teammates about everything unrelated to the game you're currently playing.
4. Fuck Milly.
5. game film.
If you're going to play again you need to do 1 of 2 things, either you :
1. Do the left-right move on every shot
Or
2. Miss sauce passes all the time
Your choice.
It's a joke don't freak out moop, you were laying the sauce like a boss all night
We have a giant void of country roster players for you fill anyways.
