70" TV

[Paddy Duncan]

Hi All,

I have been offered a Sony KDS-70R2000 70" television, that just needs collecting from the west end. It is in perfect condition and working fine although it occasionally complains about requiring a new lamp (£60 ish). It is proper HD, and it's main downside is being 60cm deep. Obviously its other dimensions are rather large too..

What do we think?

It's 61 x 115 x 189 (DxHxW) and weighs 74kg.

I'm happy to Zipvan it on an evening some time if we do want it, but this will need at least 4 people to move, probably 5.

Personally I'm in favour, good resolution and buckets of inputs for some of the more esoteric devices we may want to connect

rear projection?  Worse comes to worse I'm looking for a large Fresnel lens if it has one... *cough*solardeathray*cough*

I think if it doesn't have a permanent place that it's not moved from it would need a big Unicol style telly trolley otherwise it'd get broken in no time at all when it's moved.

The spec of it looks reasonable enough that it might be worth bothering with. Having lots of different types of video input will be useful,.

@Tim I've got one of those going begging, if you want to contact me off line

[Paddy Duncan]

Indeed, and fwiw, it is being outed purely because it is annoyingly in the way of its 84", £28k replacement :/

I am around for the helping of the lifting of the things and driving if needs be

[Tom Sands]

I'd be happy with this being at the space. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to fab up a steel trolly with some chunky casters on it for shuffling it around the space when necessary. Any suggestions on where to put it once it gets here? I think somewhere by the sofas would be a start, maybe shuffle the club-mate elsewhere?

If we can agree upon it living somewhere out of way and still useful (being movable on a trolley with wheels will help), I think it'd be a good addition to enhance the social things like bad TV night, presentations in the classroom, and things like the SpaceX launch we crowded around laptop screens to watch last night.

tl;dr: +1 for giant heavy ass TV.

[Adrian Godwin]

Wouldn't it be more out of the way if it weren't on a trolley. I appreciate it will need a pretty strong shelf (maybe scaffolding ?) but stuff that gets moved around seems to be in everyone's way.

[Tom Sands]

I think the idea is to give it a permanent home but have it on wheels for when it needs moving for events, then return it to it's home once said event is over.

[invent_or]

I was going to say: "It's a rear projection TV. These need careful alignment, & as such moving them around on a trolley is generally a bad move. No pun intended."

Except this is a new super state of the art thing which has no such issues!

Get it!

[Paddy Duncan]

OK.
It is ours assuming that the owner does not change his mind before the new
one arrives in 2 weeks.
I think this is unlikely as he will not be in the UK until after this time,
and there is also nowhere else for it to go...
I'll let you all know when confirmed so we can arrange collection.
Cheers
Paddy
