Some people are so stupid! What's the point?
It sounds like to me this will be just like Compaq computers. People shouldn't buy those either. When you try to stick too much electronics into a smaller space, you end up with problems from overheating. Ever touch your television once it's been on for a few hours? They get pretty darn warm!
I understand that some people always have to have the latest and the most expensive. I'm certainly not one of those.
I still have an RCA 32 inch, 15 year old television in my living room that works just fine. In fact, the picture is just as good as the 32 inch LCD television in our bedroom, that replaced a 19 inch older one that went up. As long as that television keeps working, we won't be buying another television.
