THX specs are what they are to give you the 'theater' viewing experience. For many people (other than enthusiasts) it is too large and/or too close. While I cringe every time I see a TV above a fireplace; I ultimately mutter "It's your place, do what you want."

Buy what you like and place it where you want. I'll be at my place enjoying the experience while you are at the chiropractor.

Many people will have ANY bulb burn out too soon due to old/faulty wiring.

What is worse than buying an incandescent for $.50? Buying multiple $10 bulbs because they keep burring out prematurely. Even newer homes and neighborhoods (1995+) can have bad wiring. Also, adding a $10 bulb to a fixture from 1970 that flickers is just as bad. Check the connectons and have your voltage tested before buying ANY light bulb, especially if it is more than $.50 each.

16:9 is here to stay for two reasons:
1. It is approximately the ratio we can see out of our own eyes, it feels natural.
2. 16:9 is a good middle of 21:9 and 4:3

Sawdust: Guess what happens when you try and watch 16:9 content on your new 21:9 screen... black bars. Or, you want to watch The Wizard of Oz (4:3), it will be minuscule on your 21:9 screen. There is no way of getting rid of black bars for all content, unless you stretch the image.

Yes there will always be 'new' sizes and other marketing techniques, but they are only fads or gimmicks that wont catch on in the main stream. (3D, 21:9, 120fps, etc)

I had to cancel my Netflix subscription because my apartments internet is so spotty. I pay $45 a month for speeds slower than DSL when in fact it is 'cable' coming into the building.

Why did all of these photos have filters on them? This is a review, not a house tour with kitty cats on cute pillows.

Back on topic: I prefer Staples if I need ink ASAP, otherwise I use Amazon.

I ended up pledging for the amp. The four glowing tubes on top and the ability to hook it up with bluetooth to my iPhone sold me.

Looking at the main picture I had to see the explanation for gondolas!

I painted the rooms the colors I wanted. I don't buy in to colors = moods any more than I do astrology.

I've had the same mobile phone number for 9 years with no problems. I give it out freely when asked by a reputable company and it is on my business card. I have yet to have one 'spam' call or text. I'm not sure if I am lucky or if Range is unlucky.

Now emails on the other hand, that's a horse of a different color!

I applaud two things.

1. Apple finally getting with it. (Although nothing specifically was mentioned, just 'better.')
2. Downton Abbey reference.
