Question from Milo: I really like your site, Rick. It’s easy to tell that you put a lot of work into it.

I have three questions that I hope you’ll answer for me. [Read more…]

What an exercise in confusion that turned out to be!
When I got to Walmart the TV section had dozens to choose from and the picture quality ranged from fair to really good, even on similar models.
How on earth is one to choose from all those different TV’s under those conditions? [Read more…]
