Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do you have shared items?

Yep.

I don't remember ever adding anyone to this list , so I have no idea how it's populated.

I don't remember either.

People, talk to me flat screens. I think I'm shopping for a 26", cheapass. I may farm it out to my brother because I hate this shit. But my crt is slowly dying and won't work past Feb anyway.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I am suddenly curious about thermal paste.

Don't eat thermal paste.

I wouldn't brush with it, either.

Well, not again.

Do you have the Consumer Reports ratings, sarameg?

I've been shopping televisions myself, because I use rabbit ears in the office, so that setup disappears in February. I like my little CRT Sharp, but the last thing my office needs is another piece of equipment.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I like LG for cheap but good TVs. Target's the easiest option if you want it now, but you can probably find better prices online.

If you're a Costco member, their Visio line (which I think is actually made by Toshiba or someone) is dead cheap, and will give you a perfectly decent picture, especially at 26".

Hey. New board.

I like my 26" Dynex TV just fine, and it was less than $400 including tax at Best Buy.

The dynex at BB was just under $300 today. I'll keep looking online and check out the post-xmas sales, maybe. Thanks for the brand reccs.

Mom gets consumer reports, so I'll ask her.

Our wings are not tired

I'm very partial to Samsung LCD's, they are a little more expensive but I've found them to be very worth it.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I have a Samsung LCD that I got on sale from Best Buy in the summer. I think it's great. From what I understand, for "smaller" sets, less than 50" or so, picture differences are mild between brands. So it's more about features the set has and price. One thing I wish my set had was picture in picture. Aside from that, it's cool.
