Next Week One Of You Will Own This TV
See that TV above? It’s a brand new, 42-inch LCD from LG. And next week, one of you will own it.
See, This week, I’m going to take it out of its box and review it here on Giz. Then, once I’m done, I’m going to box it back up and we’re going to hold a little competition. Something tough. You guys are going to enter, and one of you will walk away with the prize - a new LCD TV.
What I want from you guys in the meantime is a few ideas on what we should do for this competition. Don’t bother saying “just give it to me”, either – that just means you won’t win when it comes to the crunch. Let your creative juices run free and let me know what you reckon in comments.

Whoever makes the best lego LCD tv with a picture on the display :)
Post our currently diminuitive setups.
Person most in need wins.
Hi Nick,
I think you should run a photo comp, put a picture of the TV up on Gizmodo & see who can turn it into the most creative photoshopped pic.
Perhaps a photo of oneself that is sexed up by having a big screen lcd tv photoshopped in?
stick up an add for gizmodo somewhere very public and take a picture.. best pic wins…
Break a LCD to get a LCD . WOOT!!
You should run a competition to describe how black the TV’s finish is, for example “blacker than black beards beard”. The most imaginative description wins.
send in photos of your currently crappy audio visual setup…..
and how much you desperately need a new tv..
How about a competition where you ask what would be the best place for you personally to set up the LCD.
How about a youtube video showing where we would put it and why we should get it?
What about something like post a photo of why it would look good in your house
Nick – After thinking a bit about your request to have us, the readers, contribute to the competition idea – I have come up with the following: How about posting a set of complex questions relating to articles that you have recently posted. To enter you need to submit attempted answers to the questions. This way more people will read articles on your site and hopefully get hooked (good for you).
Create a competition to place the tv in the craziest place you can.(Physically not photo shop)Or we can review your review and see if we agree on your skills of reviewing.
How about a code system similar to that QR code competition.
Like you give us co-ordinates to places and we have to find them on google earth or something. eg one of the co-ordinates could be the best selling store in VIC for LG tvs. And we provide the answer and a image using street view.
Or you can just give it to me. (Sorry had to say it)
I think it would be interesting to see how people plan on using their new tv – photoshop content maybe?
How about a comp for the best tech tip. You’ll gets lots of fodder for future blogs and the contest won’t rely on photoshop skills.
Competition idea: Build a retro TV using an old cardboard box and recycled junk. PlaySchool style.
Why don’t you just cut the whole thing shorter by having a best competition competition
the Guinness world record for the longest record flight by a chicken is 13 seconds. the telly should go to any body who can make a chook fly for longer than 13 seconds.
Request 2 minute video entries with the theme ‘flat screen’ or ’skinny panels’ or if you wanted to plug your sponsor of the TV, ‘Goldstar’…….i mean “Life’s Good”.
two sentences on what is the best gizmo of all time and why
Since this is a Gadget Focused website. We should promote them in a way. I think we should have a Photo competition. Everyone has a digital camera these days. What we need are “In the wild” snapshots of “special” gadgets that serve “special” purposes that has helped you in the past. Get a stickynote, put your name on it, stick it on the item (electronic or not electronic?), take a photo, upload it to a free hosting site (no nasty popup sites), then post on Gizmodo with a caption of what the item did for you that you think deserves Top Honors, paste link to photo. As for judging, you will be judged on rareness and usefullness.
Post nude pictures of our partners, and the sexiest one wins?
I’d like to win the TV as it saves me having to have another baby! Isn’t that what the baby bonus if for?!?!?!?
:^)
Maybe a really big game of hide and seek?
