So I downloaded some LG 4k demos from here, put them on my USB stick and watched them on the TV, and wow.  It's not like the change from SD to HD was, but it's a bigger difference than 720p v 1080p.  Don't believe the crap you read about "you need a 120" TV to even see a difference at normal viewing distances", I got a 55", we sit about 10 feet from it, and even my wife was impressed with how good it looks (and she's thought this was a waste of money when I ordered it).

 

Too bad there's only demos for it atm though.  I feel like when my parents got their first HDTV and there was nothing to watch on it except Discovery, except worse.

I'm surprised that it is still flat. Personally I would say go the DIY route if possible. While you are at it, your figurines need a better spot when a little hole in your desk. IKEA stuff aren't a bad option. Anyhow... DIY special post with stuff I bought in the last month or two.

Breaking down your own meats is fun. While I am still learning, breaking down a chicken is easy. 5-10 minutes if you totally know what you are doing.

And some other cleaning tools, grease and lube for my bike. I think there is something wrong with my axle but I'll see once I get the tools for taking it all apart. A work stand might be nice too...

ALL MY MONEY. Sadly, I know the import price and it is quite steep. These combos will easily break $100.

 

I was reminded of this old post of mine. :|

Yeah, the reason I have them in the hole in my desk is because the room is flooded with direct sunlight, and that wreaks havoc on PVC. Otherwise, I'd have them displayed more prominently. I was thinking small bookshelf from IKEA would be nice, or an entirely new desk with a proper nook. As for the poster, it's only flat when it's being held down. I keep it in a tube at the moment.

 

There was so much Girls und Panzer stuff in Akihabara (and Nakano Broadway to a lesser extent). You would have had a field day, and probably spent more money than I did.
