world for the first time.

tiny font, slightly off looking sports; not seeing details in dark scenes; and not being able to use my smart devices with my notsosmart (but served me well for many years *sniff*) oldster.

the space I have for a tv just isn't that big, and I tend to keep things for a long time; so going with better than I maybe need right now specs is likely the way to go.

You are a SF Giants fan. As boring as I find regular season baseball? Baseball looks amazing in HD flat screen. -- nm - Bacon Dec 15, 15:42 1
- yah, I've seen how good things look. I just haven't been able to justify, to myself, replacing something that works.. until it's gotten annoying - b. Dec 15, 15:57
