I will check mobile me. My phone seems to know where we are and I have all the timezone stuff I can find set in iCal.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't have an iPhone, but on the iPad there are separate Time Zone Support settings for the device (General) and Mail, Contacts, Calendars. So the phone could know your time zone but the calendar on the phone have it wrong.

Trust my rage
So, it turns out that iCal on Mobile Me had me in LA. Not sure how that happened, and it's only an hour difference, but it's a start.

I'm trying to figure out what size LED HDTV I want to buy for my bedroom.
I could get an LG 32-Inch 1080p 120 Hz for $500: [link]
Or I could spend $372 more for a 37 inch. I'm thinking the 32 inch would be just fine for my bedroom, yeah?

how big a bed room do you have?
Screen ---Viewing distance range
26" --- 3.25-5.5 feet
32" --- 4.0-6.66 feet
37" --- 4.63-7.71 feet
40" --- 5.0-8.33 feet
46" --- 5.75-9.5 feet
52" --- 6.5-10.8 feet
58" --- 7.25-12 feet
65" --- 8.13-13.5 feet
70" --- 8.75-14.75 feet
That chart can be found on this crutchfield catalog: [link] or amazon: [link]
I would think a bedroom set wouldn't want to be too big to keep illumination to a minimum, if it's a source to help put you to sleep. If it's your primary watching zone, well, then that might be different.

My new little Samsung in the bedroom is 22 inches. It's probably 10+ feet away from my eyes and it's fine.

Huh. I think I'd want a smaller size than the low end of the ranges listed for most of those distances. And I have bad eyes.

Yeah, I don't think I want to go too big, and I like the price for the smaller one, too. Thanks!

We have a 32" in the bedroom. It is on the wall at the foot of the bed which places it probably about 8.5' away. I wouldn't want much smaller than 32" in there.

I have an old Series 2 TiVo and DIRECTV, and if I'm getting an HDTV, I suspect that I'm screwed in terms of an HD TiVo until DIRECTV and TiVo launch their new HD DVR.
Am I right?
