I'm pretty happy with my LG LCD tv, which I've had for 2 years. (This one: [link] ) I'm not a serious AV connoisseur, but I've had no technical problems, the picture's consistently clear and crisp, and the sound is good (n.b., I'm deaf in one ear, so if there's any sort of balance issue, I'm not the one to catch it).
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Why can't IE run javascript every other browser can? Or rather is there a way to get rid of every version of IE before 9? Sigh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh. I was just about to ask that same question about Safari....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Can anyone think of a reason why Quicktime 10.1 would be telling me a video has a bitrate of 4.3Mbps (double what it should be) and Quicktime 10.0 is telling me 2.3Mbps (what I'd encoded it at)???
I need to give a client an answer more technical than "Quicktime 10 is fucked up, I don't even."

One's a mono-rate and the other stereo?

That would only bump it up by the audio bitrate, which is 128kbps.
