NEST thermostats - Page 5

I bought a programable thermostat when I bought my house 3+ years ago. I used it quite a bit back then, but now I work from home most days, so I shut off the programs and now just leave it at 77* all day every day.

My dad has had a Bosch tankless and it sucks balls. Still can't get the damn thing dialed in right. It's either melt your skin off or cold. Fucker isn't even 3 feet from the shower.

So your dad is the first person I've heard of that can't get a tankless water heater to work right and your brother has the only plasma tv still prone to ghosting and image burn-in.

I'm detecting a theme here, Cletus.

1. His plasma tv is an "old" plasma and yes believe it or not it ghost. 2. It has a nice BIG vertical yellow line on the left side.

If it's old then it wasn't relevant in the "should I buy a new plasma or LCD" conversation you mentioned it in.

Still detecting a theme, Cletus.

I still don't recommend plasma.

Between this thread and the Plasma/LCD thread, I'm sure your recommendations will be taken for what they're worth.

I do. My plasma puts out a much better picture than my LCD.

Same here - I prefer the picture on our 'old' (~6 year) plasma over our LCD.

Likewise. We just bought a new plasma about a year ago, and the picture quality was better than any LCD's we had to choose from. We still get comments on the picture when people come over and see it for the first time.

The only drawback to plasma I can think of is potential glare, but with a little planning you can avoid it. The picture, color contrast, and viewing angles all favor plasma.
