Did some more research and stumbled upon the N71-series from Samsung, their leading series of LCD-TVs at the moment (one step under the M71-series), and I chose the 32" model. I wanted to buy it yesterday but neither Fona in Kolding nor Elgiganten had any. Fortunately they had one left at Fona in my town. Yay!
Specs:
Resolution: 1366 x 768.
Connections: 2 x HDMI, 2x SCART, 1 x Component.
Dynamic contrast: 6000:1.
Response time: 8 ms.
Price: 11.000 DKK.

And it's probably gonna get one. Been wanting to upgrade my old 28" CRT TV from Philips, and now seemed to be a fitting time. Probably won't be able to afford one when I start studying. Anyway, I'm thinking about a 32" LCD-TV, and at the moment I've narrowed it down to these two:
Sony KDL-32S2530
Resolution: 1366 x 768.
Connections: 2 x HDMI, 1 x Component, 2 x SCART.
Price: appr. 10.000 DKK.
Philips 32PF9541
Resolution: 1366 x 768.
Connections: 2 x HDMI, 1 x Component, 2 x SCART.
Price: appr. 10.000 DKK.
As you can see the specs are pretty much identical, I went to the local store and watched them in action, the picture is incredible. Surprising how big a different there is between HD-TVs with almost the same specifications, there was no visible difference between the picture quality on these two though.
A new piece of hardware! I already have an external harddrive, a Maxtor Onetouch II 250 GB, unfortunately it suddenly broke down (sadly a few weeks after recommending it to Niclas). I can still access the files through file recovery programs, but it’s not of much use when I can’t add new data to it. Therefore, I’ve now ordered a new harddrive, a Western Digital My Book Premium Edition, with a memory capacity of 500 GB, hopefully I can recover the files from the Onetouch II, and format it, so it’s useable again. Naturally I’m pretty psyched about this new one, it looks incredible, and 500 GB should be more than enough. Also, the inner blue light on the front is a capacity gauge, it shows you how much space is free on the disk, pretty cool gimmick. Oh yes, it costs 2,000 DKK, bought from shg.dk.

I’ve never owned a mp3-player. My cellphone has 90 mb of internal memory, and that’s always been enough for the amount of music I hear. Now I have to work at night, from 3:00 to 11:00, so to shorten the boring workhours I needed a music-player, fast. I normally examine the market pretty thouroghly before I buy electronic devices, but I had to buy one fast, and I found a MuVo v100, with 1 gb memory, which seemed to fulfill my needs. Had to pay 550 DKK which isn’t too bad, pretty cheap compared to the other mp3-players the store had.
Så blev det min fødseldag igen, her følger et lille indlæg med resume…
Jep, første april er min fødselsdag, hvilket vil sige den netop er overstået. 20 år, voksen, osv. I det mindste fedt at få sin børneopsparing.
Jeg fik følgende gaver:
– Sandisk 2 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (til PSP, se profil)
– Biloplader til PSP
– Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (PC)
– A History of Violence (DVD)
– Riget (DVD)
