Participant[quote=briansd1]Does it bother you when people mangle the English language? It does me.
It’s inexcusable for native English speakers to constantly make bloopers.
Refudiate, misunderestimate, nukular, irregardless, etc.
Sure, we all make typing mistakes sometimes; but educated people don’t speak like that, regardless of political party affiliation.

Participant[quote=JACKQLYN]When I say best, I mean affordable.
I need a 40 or 42″ bedroom TV.
I’m not hip on technology but from what I hear, 1080 over a Plasma is the way to go??
Frys?
Costco?
Wal-Mart?[/quote]
Depending on your budget and viewing distance, you probably can save some money by going with a 720p set. Unless you have really good eyesight and sitting close to the TV, you will probably cannot tell the different between 720p and 1080p.For budget TV, I’d go plasma over LCD. From my experience, cheapo LCDs have horrible viewing angle problem (i.e the colors look washed out when viewing at an angle).

Agreed. I bought a TV from Amazon. Delivered with no sales tax and no CA recycling fee.
