Well, when you start going there, I too can say I've been looking at the 42" jobs. For the living room! Heh, I really need something I can plug a laptop into, to watch movies and hulu and so on, on occassion. (We cut the cable years ago.) The TV we look at every now and then was bought in 1982. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

It used to be a lot of fun.. Heheheh... Good gawd, what a waste of time, huh? Screeching flemoids!

I never see people use them like that. I suppose if you had a huge one at high-res, it'd do, but it's still lacking for much besides watching movies IMO. For SxS docs, I prefer having the 8:3 ratio offered by two standard ratio units. :-) -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org
