    Suggestions for 26" or bigger 720p LCD for bedroom (~850 or less)

    Ditto on the Vizio vote, Bought one last weekend from Sears they have a $50 off sale right now. Very impressed TV is very nice after a little calibration and exceeds my expectations for a bottom tier brand. I also read that Vizio is the top seller of flat panels right now.

    lawn mowers

    Agreed, dont mess with the JD. Im on my 6th season with my Honda and it started on the second pull after being in storage over winter. It cuts perfectly, I really like the poly deck so easy to keep clean when cutting wet grass. Also enjoy the hydrostatic drive. Put new wheels (~$20 for two)...

    lawn mowers

    If you want to keep the mower running while walking away from it the only safe approved method is for the mower to have a BBC. (Blade Brake Clutch) The BBC almost instantly stops the blades when the clutch handle is released. Handy if you are bagging or need to stop for a moment to clear...

    My Rant: XM Radio's greatly diminished sound quality. What to do?

    I have been noticing a drop in sound quality also. I would happily give up Fred, Ethel, and Lucy for a single channel of higher quality. I will be cancelling after my 6 month commitment and buying an IPOD. I have over 3,000 high quality mp3's that will keep me better satisfied and for 14.95 a...

    PSP Memory Question

    Another place to check for duos is BHPHOTO.COM I picked up a 2GB Sony Memory Stick Duo for 149.99 w/ $20 rebate from Sony. $134 after shipping and rebate seemed like a pretty good deal. However I just looked and the rebate seems to have expired.

    I pay $120 per month for Basic Cable, Digital Cable, HDTV w/ DVR, and cable modem i-net access. No premium channels. It seems very high to me I dont even watch the digital channels but they are part of a "package" so it actually would cost more if I dropped them. Cant get OTA HDTV where Im at so...

    Flat screen monitor question

    I'd look for a panel w/ DVI input, the difference in picture quality is noticeable over VGA. I bought a Dell 1905FP 19" Ultrasharp for approx $270 during a recent sale. It has a slow response time >20ms but it seems fine to me, I dont watch movies very often on it so no biggie, works fine for...

    Windows Media HD video requirements?

    I run a Athalon 3200+ and a NVIDIA 6200, 1GB system ram and have smooth WMV-HD playback. Have you run performance tests? Could be something like a slow hard drive, I had DVI video capture problems before upgrading my drives to SATA w/Raid 0. I doubt seriously that the sound makes any difference...
