I’ll have to try Greyhound. I love the other 3 you endorsed.

If you can hold your nose because of the starlet Jennifer Garner (”What’s in YOUR wallet?”, I recommend “Peppermint”. Also in the revenge genre, you might try “The Brave One” (tiny little Jodie Foster channeling Charles Bronson).

My retinas hurt just from reading this.

Let’s take one 60 watt incandescent light bulb. They use .72 cents per hour (less than a penny).

If you run them for 3 hours a day, every day, it will cost you about $7.88 to operate that bulb for a year (3 hours a day).

LEDs cost about .15 cents per hour to run. It would cost you about $1.64 to operate that bulb for a year.

Currently a 60 watt incandescent bulb will cost you about $4. You can get 60 watt equivalent LED bulbs for about $1 each, especially in bulk.

So yeah, LEDs are cheaper to operate and own. I still think the quality of the light sucks and they don’t last anywhere near as long as advertised.

The day I have to worry about saving $6.24 a year for light bulbs will be the day I stop paying for hookers, alcohol, beer and cigarettes....... And that ain't gonna happen.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

If you heat with electricity, in the winter old fashioned light bulbs won't cost you a penny more in electricity.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

LOL. You could always switch to economy or store brand hookers.

Growing up in the CRT era of TVs I am really impressed with OLED.

Yeah--I went from a 27" Sony CRT that I purchased in the late '80s to a 4K Vizio 55". I was quite impressed.

I think that old CRT still works. It's upstairs somewhere, I think.

[maddog55]

Bring back CRTs... I did fine for 50 years and I was smarter than them 13 channels..12 VHF 1 UHF.

Rotary phones are better as well and no car should have a computer.

[Hot Tabasco]

ONly the best while I can still afford them.....

What the hell, even the cheap ones are better than the hands on kind.......

[[Bring back CRTs]]

Still using a CRT TV- can view at any angle and no fading or loss of contrast- Good enough for us- We don’t need to sit in direct lien of sight for best picture-

[JZelle]

Still enjoying my Panasonic plasma from 2009. Great picture and it doesn’t watch me watch it.

[Bob434]

[[Rotary phones are better as well]]

AMEN- they don’t switch screens on you when you twitch a finger, or hand to someone else- they don’t pop out the camera, or messaging app, or go online when all you wanted to do was make a phone call- They did one thing good=- good enough

“2001: A Space Odyssey” was released in 4K format. I believe in was remastered by Nolan.

[ducttape45]

Oh. I thought they were talking about light bulbs. On that topic, bring back incandescent bulbs!

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping.

#13 You can have a 4k tv then watch the old tv shows original broadcast in 480.

[MayflowerMadam]

We’ve been watching old Highway Patrol episodes. They’ve been tweaked to look sharp and clear. Write to have 65” TVs and watch 1960s shows.

[GingisK]

Are crappy movies or programs better in 4K? I tend to think they’d just be at a higher image resolution; but, crappy content just the same.
