Default I hate being poor

So I was cruising around the net looking for a new large monitor to put in my room to do my gaming off of when I discovered this beast:

Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 820DXn Black 82" 8ms HDMI Large Format Monitor 1920 x 1080 600 cd/m2 DC 5000:1(1500:1)



82" 1920x1080 monitor

Unfortunately that price tag of $43,999.99 is slightly beyond my budget for a new monitor.

EDIT: I believe I would have to hire a crane truck to lift this in through my 2nd story office window to even get this into my house. It is that big!

I love the review on it

Pros: beautiful, large, and everything i've ever dreamed of! great for when ur 2 feet away from it, helps work out the neck
Cons: doesnt come with built in speakers or tuner... could afford anything else after i bought the TV...

its also not water proof**
Other Thoughts: ** sold my house to get this tv and it wouldnt fit in my car so i had to store it outside... first time it rained the thing was trashed! and turns out warranty doesnt cover april showers

Uh oh, the con on the 2nd review might be a deal breaker for Tim.

Why not just build a movie theater with a projector and project/stream games with that while you're at it?

or..... you can get 43,999 one dollar sandwiches from *Insert Country of Choice*.

if you figure 1 sandwich per 2 hours and leaving your self 4 hours each day for sleep it would take you till June 9th 2022 at 1pm to finally run out of sandwiches if you started now. that is 12 years 16 days and 14 hours from now. anyone care to check my math?

EDIT: Im going to hell....

Your math is off. $43,999 divided by $40 is 1099.975 days. A lot to be sure but nothing close to 12 years.

You also forgot to factor in pickles - and frankly mayonaise. Assuming you buy in bulk and so can achieve a price of 10 cents/pickle and $1/marshmellow, your per hour rate becomes $2.25. With the same time duration (you stud you), that gives you 977.75 days for sandwiches - 2 years, 8 months, and 4 days give or take.

Wow, that was a worthwhile use of 20 minutes.......

no, 1 sandwich = 2 hours, so 10 sandwiches per day, at $10 dollar and 4 hours of rest.
i even figured in leap year.

Note: i screwed up in the above i meant one sandwich per 2 hours, not 2 per 1. fixed.
