Thanks Robert, David and the rest of us are very excited about this years event.
Robert can you provide the link to the Live Shootout & will you be taking questions again?
Samsung is also showing its OLED in Korea a week earlier, but although I'm still working on an OLED, sadly, I must confess it's unlikely. But, don't fret, cause we'll be hosting our semi-annual Shootout with both OLED's when they launch late summer to very early fall 2012 against the three top rated displays at our May 2012's Flat Panel Shootout.

Barry, tele1962, I'll have the exact direct link next week so stand by for the url. And yes the live HD channel will be moderated by our staff.

-Robert
Thanks Robert and hope you guys have a great time.:T
Hmm ... are you named after a guitar?
LOL, it's been asked before..........sorry mate nothing exciting like that.:sad:
Looks like you guys are having a great time. Loving the pics Robert, and can i say what a fantastic store you have. I hope now more than ever i can visit some time in the future.
mech, I agree, today we're limited to one mod as we needed the other a/v experts who were mods yesterday in the Shootout room.

Next time I'm recruiting professional moderators. Any chance you want the job?

-Robert
I can help next time Robert.:wave:
Amen. It was very annoying, especially when some were asking legitimate questions. Also, it was a little difficult keeping up with so much useless chatter.



Good luck. :) I'm a moderator on an Internet forum and sometimes you have to make tough choices....
Me to.:nerd:
The panel of experts and audience agreed....... Panasonic's TC-P65VT50 won.

For those who can get Channel 12News you can see their coverage of the Shootout all week.

-Robert
Robert is there any chance of Channel12 putting their report online, You Tube maybe. So as UK and Europe can see it?
Just been told by David that he took ill with a fever and collapsed at the airport, and was taken to hospital put on a drip but he is OK now and resuming his travels. He had been feeling ill for a few day's because of a bad reaction to an insect bite but didn't want to miss the shootout.:gulp:

I blame to much beer LOL.:innocent:
Hey Robert and everyone, any news on the next shootout?:T
Anymore news yet Robert as i am sure David and the rest of us are chomping at the bit to see you guys again LOL:wave:
Yes, and we're looking for a VIP guest from WA. Hey you could easily be that gentleman.

We're considering moving the 2013 Shootout to a large NYC conference room so we can accommodate up to 100 people and have the event one day rather than the two days we have done for the past 8 years.

-Robert
Sounds great Robert.................please when you get time post some pics of the new store.:T
You get my PM Robert?:)

Reply recieved, thanks Robert.:TT
Really looking forward to the 2013 shootout, as this year is one of the most exciting in years for AV tech.
