What Did You Get for Christmas?

I got the coolest things. A computer tablet. A remote controlled flying UFO. And, my fav? My two Jam Plus Bluetooth speakers that give incredible sound from little speakers.

Which brings me to one of my pet peeves. Why on earth, if we can produce great audio from tiny speakers, then why the heck can't we produce good audio speakers in HDTV's? Why does my new HDTV audio suck? In fact, I don't think I've EVER heard decent sounding speakers on a TV yet. EVER. My mom got a different brand of Bluetooth speaker and her's his HALF as big as mine and produces a broader frequency range. Hmm. $29 speaker produces better sound than most $2000 HDTVs. TV speakers suck. (I wonder if there's a law that requires TV manufacturers to make poor speakers.)

Sorry, if I seem a little harsh. Like I said. It's a pet peeve of mine.

So, what did you get for Christmas? :-D

True. I have a 65" Samsung and the audio is quite nice. I guess on the larger sets they have the room to install a better speaker system. Tried surround sound but it gave me headaches and made me dizzy and the dialog would jump around the room. Sound bars are ok but I hate having another remote to control the sound. PITA. Mark is right, I have an Infinity rechargeable portable speaker system with two tiny speakers that will break windows.

Mark, I would love to have one of those remote control UFO's that would hold a Go-Pro camera. We have a nudist colony nearby, so........

Your right Mark..tele's have crap sound. I got some surround sound headphones, so when my good wife go's to bed I can still have the sound cranked up without disturbing her. But I have been looking at these new 4k televisions and the picture and sound is fantastic..only trouble is cost, and none of the networks here are transmitting yet in 4k!!!

Always best to have the whores in front. Unless......
Then again, at Christmastime it woud be discourteous to reject a whore as a present no matter what your position.
Unless you once lived in Melbourne - or in Texas USA- because as we all know you shoud never for-sook a gift whores in the south.
