Two takes on the 1995 Levi's Commercial directed by Michel Gondry, also the reason Geir Jenssen stopped making techno:

After not owning a TV since I gave away my 150lb CRT 3 years ago, I'm now in the market for not one but two televisions. The first one is for my sainted mother. It has to be around 40", 1080p (duh) and have as simple a UI as possible. Also, it should be reliable as possible. Unfortunately, as best I can make out, LG and Samsung have driven a race to the bottom WRT retail prices and therefore component quality. What I have determined so far: LG or Samsung, Sony as a possible dark horse 3rd candidate around 40" No SMRT TV pls. 60 or 120Hz, preferably the latter. Massive amount of I/O is not necessary. LED backlit LCD, no plasma. The second one is for me. I'm looking for again an LG or Samsung, no bigger than 55", 4K is not a must but a likelihood, 120Hz is mandatory, SMRT is not desired but more or less unavoidable, and I need a decent amount of I/O. I have have had a lot of trouble finding current model 1080p TVs with a true 120Hz refresh rate. It's clear that the manufacturers are pushing 4K and are using leftover bits to make new 1080p models. The candidates: Samsung UN50JU7100 50” $1200-1300 depending on location. 4K, 120Hz, SMRT, 3D (bleh), decent number of inputs, GUI that I will probably hate. Samsung UN55JU7100 55" $1400-1600 depending on location. As above, with more Size Queen! LG 49UB8500 49” $1150. 4K, 120Hz, SMRT, 3D. Very similar to the Samsung 50" but slightly smaller and cheaper. LG 60UF7700 60” $1400. 4K, 120Hz, SMRT, not 3D AFICT. Bristling with I/O. Non-IR remote that is wonky at best. Officially too large for my house. Samsung UN48J6200 48" $500. 1080p, current model. SMRT, 60Hz. Considering this one for my mother. If anyone can point to a current model that's natice 120Hz (not this "TruMotion" shit), I'd love to see it. I'd love for some feedback from HCers, a demographic of "go big or go home." What have been your experiences with 4K SMRT TVs? Based on the games thread I know a fair number of you have been doing a shit ton of racing on yr giant TVs recently. Also I'd love suggestions for some sane 1080p models for me mum. Wading through AMZN's infinite list of televisions is enough to drive a man insane (or in case, send an insane man that much closer to screaming on a street corner.)
