USA 2014 Flat Panel Shootout.

[tele1962]

US Flat Panel Shootout dates announced.

Quote from Robert Zohn :

Just this second I was able to confirm our 2014 TV Shootout date for Saturday, August 16th beginning at 6PM and Sunday, August 17th at 3PM.

I’ve been working very hard this year to make our 10th annual TV Shootout evolve and ascend with the times. To that end I have some very exciting news to announce:

Dr. Larry Weber and Joe Kane will be joining us for the Shootout this year! They will be making special presentations that will interest our followers and the industry.

For now here’s one more change for this year I can share. Our agenda has been upgraded; the manufacturer’s trainers who have been product feature presenters at all of our previous TV Shootout events will be replaced with each manufacturers’ senior executive and or a factory engineer.

More information to come soon!

Happy July 4th!

The affordable range then

 

[tele1962]

It's not about price or affordability, but which tv is best.

I wonder if any of the Guys from What HiFi would be interested in attending, I know they would be made most welcome.

Three days to go before the Shootout, a few surprises are planned along the way. Also a question and answer session at the end of the presentation.

Thanks for the links. *clapping*

 

[tele1962]

No probs, by the way it's 11pm start so might be a little late for some...................had a nine hour drive home today so will be taking plenty of fluids on board during the event.*biggrin*

 

[tele1962]

Live comments now.

 

[tele1962]

I am guessing no one watched it?

 

[bigboss]

I tried watching.....but it wanted me to log in via facebook, which I didn't want. Besidess, I have been quite busy lately. How was it?

Same problem here. What were the results?

 

[tele1962]

That seemed a little strange, i just created an account and it let me straight in.*scratch_one-s_head*

It was a great night, especially Joe Kane's presentation, i missed the last hour or so but i don't think the results are until tonight. Earlier start tonight 8pm, Dr Larry Webber the inventor of Plasma Tv will be there and it will be interesting to hear what he has to say.

I have to admit Plasma was a huge mis at this event and i don't know where things are going from here but it doesn't look good IMO.

I really hope that is the case Gel, but it is early days and it also has some problems.
