but picking up Qwickster. Yeah, I know, I'm doing the exact opposite of what they want me to do.
I guess 600K other subscribers were more pissed than me.

Apparently the prices are not changing, but my DVD queue volume is going down at this point. If I had to choose one today that would be streaming. I don't care for all Qwikster "upgrades" - I am too old for video games, and I am not a videophile.To have to deal with two sites is great inconvenience, I wish they haven't done that. I love having a combined queue.
Bottom line - I suspect we will curse to high heaven, but keep both.

has made Tarr's "London" film unavailable through DVD. It's only streaming.
I have almost 200 films on my list. You have a few? C'mon! Mine's bigger than yours.
We got 118 in active queue, both DVD's and stream, plus 44 in Saved.

Going to 3 disks is not a real money saver and it's hard for me to watch three in one night. I can usually get 6 disks a week if I can do one-night viewing. Buuut, I'll give it a shot.
I guess this is what split screen is for!
How can you watch three films in one night? This is worse than drinking three bottles of vodka with no food.

. I have nothing but a little 17" CRT Computer Monitor to stream although I have a nice Intel i3 540 with integrated HD Graphics which handles 1080p .. If I found a 46" plasma TV without issues I'd grab it and use both but till then I'm a new Quikster custy too.

Just get a Panasonic 50" plasma and be done with it. Even the cheapest you can find will look great. Get a calibration disk while you are at it, and you will never go back.
Nothing like the pleasure of an instant gratification. I love the ability to watch a film I just discovered. Oftentimes I read a recommendation here and watch that film half an hour later.
I've just found almost every time I shop some review mentions a flaw which hinders my selection.. I can always blame you if there's a problem...Whether its Ghosting, Black fading, Burn In or a Buzzing from the back soemthing has always scared me off.

I have three Panasonic Viera plasma sets (42, 50 and 65") and couldn't be more pleased. My first plasma was a Philips which I liked but it failed after two years. I also have LG, Samsung and Olevia LCDs for the guest rooms. None can compare to the Viera.

....no LCD looks as good as a plasma.
I'm with you, the Panasonics are great.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
I have a 50 and now 65". I know of nothing better for the price.
Make sure my room has the biggest one! Cover the grits' rooms floor with plastic, he has been known to spill blood.
My Kuro has been the picture of reliability for three years. And I've not seen a better picture when I've strolled about the LCD showrooms.

For two.
Picture quality, fantastic on my Panny and our friend's Samsung.
Sure you'll find measurements that show they're less than perfect. But good Lord, the pictures are freeking amazing!
Do you have friends who own hi def TVs? Do you notice anything short of fantastic pictures on their sets when yer over? Of all the sets we've seen set up in friend's homes, the only noticeably deficient set we've seen ahs been a 46" Sanyo Plasma. But fer Chrissakes, it's a freekin Sanyo. And the movie watching experience on it still beats the heck out of a 17" 'puter screen. JMHO, et al, YMMV, etc......

Our main movie screen is the Pioneer 5050 plasma, which I got many years ago through equipment swap, when it just came out - when was it? It does all I need, and it is plain refusing to die... has one dead pixel and is a bit darker than it was new, but still running great. When it dies, I will likely get an LED panel.
We have a massive and impressive home theater with large screen projector, which we have not used in years... I presume it is still there... unless by now the mice have completely eaten the wires. I think my wife stores her kitchen stuff in that room now... need to check... :)
I know a couple of guys here praise the Kuro plasma, plus we had some hard core old farts claiming only film can do B&W, but to me this all much ado about nothing.
Had mine for 6 years now and still very happy. Just doesn't do 1080p. Somehow, I've found a way to live with that...
I doubt if the three I own(ed) come anywhere near "no issues" but dammit, they look freekin great IMHO!

which is like watching on a laptop but the resolution is not the greatest. Not sure if the resolution is due to my slow DSL or wot? I upped to 3 disks and will flat screen it for a while.
?
I suspect they are planning on selling the dvd rental business someday.
Maybe within a year.
Too bad. I like physical media and I love blu-rays.
Why have a great home theater and not watch the best media?

splitting the business names and processes. I wonder if they have a negotiated postal rate? Surely they do.
