I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've been very happy with my LG. I can try to figure out the exact model, but it's a couple years old and I'm betting the newer models have improvements.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have an LG too, and it's been good to me. I can check to see what model it is. I can never even remember the size.

Does anyone have any recs for TVs? I think I'm going to need to buy a new one before too long.
I may need one too (unless the increased buzzing is my DVR).
Do I just go to Best Buy?
I only want a 26" (or maybe 32"). Do I still want HDTV? LCD? I have no idea.

I imagine that once the 3D HDTVs start coming out, prices on non-3D versions will start dropping, so I'd check CES coverage for release dates.

I want one of these: Tiniest 1080p-playing PC yet is completely silent
Here's proof that someday soon, home theater PCs will take the form factor of tiny dongles. Inside this outlandishly small PC is the Via EPIA-P820 Pico-ITX motherboard, and Via's AMOS-3001 is the first PC to use it. As you can see by the gallery below, this exceptionally small PC has COM ports and two USB ports on the front, and Ethernet, USB, and HDMI ports in back. The PC is a mere 6 inches wide.
The best news? That 1.2GHz all-in-one VIA VX855 Media System Processor inside plays sweet 1080p video, according to Via. As you might have guessed, this is a fanless design, keeping it perfectly silent — look at it — the whole thing is a heatsink. Its exceptional quietude and minuscule form factor might make for a worthy dongle hanging off the back of an HDTV, ya think?
So far, there's no pricing announced for this reference unit, but it won't be long until even this small form factor will seem bulky — and the pico PCs will be so cheap they'll be built into every TV for practically nothing.

I was going to compare them and Costco.

Our wings are not tired.
megan, I bought a 32" LCD Phillips off of Craigslist over Christmas break (for $250) and LOVE it. It's only two years old; lots of people are selling theirs on C'list because they're upgrading to larger.
