Are they as dangerously pretty together as I'm imagining?Most recently, a 55" 4k OLED for a monitor and a 1080Ti.

No, mine was the very first commercially available SVHS machine (the JVC HR-S7000U). SVHS, AKA Super VHS, is a technology that was developed by JVC (and was very soon licensed by other manufacturers). It allowed very noticeably superior recording of live TV. I couldn't stand VHS recordings . The JVC HR-S7000U looks like this (Click to enlarge...the bottom right side here is up, but it drops down like your left bottom side to reveal many controls):Hmm I have a JVC SVHS as well and purchased it about the same time and under the same circumstances, I was poor. But it had editing capability, forgot what its was called, you could stop and start recording without the wavy lines. Same thing that real editing video recorders had. Mine still works. Does it look like this?
Women! There's nothing like 'em!A redhead in San Francisco.
Well, technically she was more a rental.
Great stuff for sure.Vacations and home theater.
I didn't have the SVHS, but had a very similar JVC VHS that my dad stole from me when I moved. They made the best equipment in the 90s.No, mine was the very first commercially available SVHS machine (the JVC HR-S7000U).

It's pretty nice, pc games look great. Blacks are just phenomenal even coming from a plasma, and haven't noticed a hint of IR even using it on the desktop.Are they as dangerously pretty together as I'm imagining?
Do you find yourself having to pour water into it, or does it make ice out of condensate?
The ice maker is tempting but we have a very small kitchen.
Real question, why is this preferred over refrigerator ice? Besides portability, and speed (?) ?
It's nugget ice (different from cubed ice), have you had it? I think it's one of those things you really like or else you absolutely don't care about at all. I am thrilled to have a machine that can make nugget ice in my home, despite having taken college classes that were cheaper than the machine was.
Hoshizaki? Edit: Just went back to check. Not a Hoshi.
Yup, similar to the ones that hospitals use.
Back in Feb. I got a 55" LG OLED from last year since it had a better sound system built-in and was discounted. And yeah, the blacks and grays are amazing. I used to squint during dark scenes trying to make out what was going on. Now even black on black comes out clear as day. I remember there was one scene in The Expanse that showed a cloaked ship against a black star scape, basically black on black, and you could still pick out the ship. I was amazed. And the dynamic range is also pretty amazing.It's pretty nice, pc games look great.

Haven't really been impressed with any 4k video though, especially the limited selection.
Soon after buying the JVC SVHS machine for $1000 I bought an RCA VRF695 S-VHS VCR for ~$700. It was relatively feature rich including PIP. Both machines eventually crapped out on me. I have a couple of other SVHS VCRs now, at least one of them works. The other I found on the curb and haven't tested! I have practically no use for VCRs now, but I do have a tape I want to digitize... one day.I didn't have the SVHS, but had a very similar JVC VHS that my dad stole from me when I moved.

I do prefer it over regular ice cubes, but it's also exceedingly rare for me to use ice in anything when I'm at home.It's nugget ice (different from cubed ice), have you had it?

For me it's usually in real hot weather, uncommon here. But by the time I reach for my freezer's ice it often as a very off taste. I suppose a dedicated machine doesn't have that foul smell/taste. I like the plug aspect. The cubes are just too big.I do prefer it over regular ice cubes, but it's also exceedingly rare for me to use ice in anything when I'm at home.
