It's pretty hilarious you visited this thread too

Are you talking a Fluttershy look or something...(not THE LOOK though, but all puppy eyed Rarity...?)

Edit: Even better, I found a pic of Seps on EqD... What were the chances?

MLP sounds so amazing in my Xeon laptop speakers that i dont think there is any recording equipment out there accurate enough to record how amazing MLP sounds from my laptop.

Quote: "Pioneer KURO Plasma TV range. Best on market even to this day."


Ohh i guessed wrong. Still Plasma TVs are awesome! I bet Ponies would look amazing on it.

....And we can use my laptop instead of speakers It has svideo in, svideo out, dvi vga,, tv tuner, hdmi you can hook anything to this thing (even a plasma TV) and then we can sell start our own movie theater but instead we will be selling tickets for MLP episodes in super high quality plasma defenition and amazingly epicly special laptop sound quality!

eh?

They're only HD-Ready as opposed to full 1080p. Also, the Pioneer's concentrated far more on getting the perfect black and contrast. They also adapt to the lighting conditions of the room to perfect the picture shown. Brightness, light colour, etc...

An LED TV would suit MLP much better. The vibrancy of the colour palette would compliment the brightness of the show much more than the KUROs would.

The KUROs would, naturally, kick-ass in every other way.

I know that thats what plasmas are generally known for. I want to get a plasma TV myself. ALso the colors on plasma TVs are aperentley more pleasing to human eyes High def LEDs are more likley to strain most peoples eyes if watched for too long. so according to my logic, watching something as enjoyable as MLP would be best on something that displays the kind of image that would be visually more pleasing and less eye-strainy.

Mm, depends what you prefer. If one was definitely superior, the other wouldn't exist.

Plasmas also deal far better with motion. But if you do get one, get Panasonic. When Pioneer shut up shop with their TVs, Panasonic hired some of their TV engineers, and the panels have improved massively since.

Mainly depends on if you want 3D or not.

Eh, depends what you want out of your TV.

Invariably, a 3D TV will be far better at 2D because it has double the image processing power.

plasmas are in many ways better than LCD (i am no expert but i read about them a few times) They were around longer than LCDs so that technology is a lot more developed and many issues like burnins on the screen have been solved. Colors, motion like was said above, But LCDs are quickly catching up.

But if i wanted a good TV, I could proboly buy a cheaper Plasma than a technically identical LCD (it was like that last time i looked)

and 3d just strains your eyes a lot. Also I already wear glasses and 3d glasses on top of glasses is not very comfortable. But gaming in 3D is very fun (untill your eyes start to hate you for forcing it upon them)

I sell TVs. Trust me, I know plasmas are better.

However, you don't really get them below 42 inches.

Also, it depends what type of 3D you're watching. This year's range of Panasonic reduces crosstalk to a minimum, making it smoother and easier on the eye. LG's Passive technology is even better in a way.

Rather than powered glasses that alternate shut off your sight in each eye to create the effect, Passive is alot more like the cinema type technology. However, it only has half the resolution of Active technology, is only built by LG, but on the plus side, is a damn sight cheaper.

One for my left eye and one for my right. BUT you could probably get more for your money. I don't find the 3D effects very impressive... Of course I'm no typical consumer though

Youre good! I am not arguing against Plasma TVs , infact in my unprofessional opinion i also believe that Plasma TVs are better. And 40 inches is good enough for me since cant really place anything bigger in my small apartment room.

I understand avoiding repeating nouns, but you can't avoid verbs. What's that leave you with, adverbs? I don't think that's quite what you meant. Anyways, I'll look into cleaning up word choice, it wasn't really something I covered when I editted, so it might be a good thing to go back on. I have no problem beating it to death until its just right. In most cases, repitition here is used to build the whole story into almost a song. Constantly changing faster and slower portions build emphasis and emotion to it. The inconsistensy itself is part of its theme in a sense. Sort of like choaking on air when crying or something to that degree(but don't hold me to that ) I in general avoided longer words because they constrict the rhythm, but I don't atually think that would be an issue. The better reason is RD doesn't have the most complex vocabulary, and the story refers to her the whole way through, but it isn't 1st person. Maybe a bit of sophistication would be good for it. OR maybe you're just not a fan the style at all, but honestly, those 1st couple paragraphs were just killing me. They went a bit overboard, but set up the rest of the story. The styling is so thick and overdone it lets the rest of the story smooth out as it goes... But, well, what do you think?

The content is fine, and I see what you're trying to do with repeating yourself. I think if you choose your words a bit more carefully, it should turn out great

I only like that one song of theirs, sadly. Gave a few others a listen, they just didn't have the fun chorus rhythm that one does.

I have a rapidly growing list of shout-outs now. xD

I feel the same way... After listening to every single thing they had I only came up with a couple good songs... But I don't really like Awolnation for the music, more the inspiration. Seems no band now days is really consistently "good"
