That's a cool chart. I like Samsung, Panasonic and Vizio on that list. Vizio and Panasonic because they make great cheap TVs. Samsung has the best flat panels in the business IMO. Sony can go fuck themselves.

Went with a 32" Vizio and Roku 3. Was going to go with the 29" Vizio but the way the stand is designed it leans the tv back about 7 degrees. Dumb.

A lot of people were bitching about the auto brightness thing. I hate when my iPhone does that. Any issues with that for you? I'm guessing you can turn it off if you want.

So tonight we cracked open all of the new goodies. New mac is ridiculous. After having the same G5 since we moved to Vegas it's amazing how far they've come. I love the mouse, the keyboard, the fact that hardware wise, it's essentially a 22" iPad on a stand. They don't have any internal disc drive so we had to get the external "Superdrive". Which I'm fine with because I want this computer to last until Obama is done with his third term and internal drives like to be the first thing to go.
The Vizio is great. Crisp picture, bright colors. 32" was the ideal size. I don't know why I was looking at 26-29" crap. Sound is great for a tv this thin. It only weighs a few pounds so I think I can set it on top of the DirecTV box when it's set up.
The Roku 3 has gotten off to a shaky start. Easy enough to set up, but when we were signing in to all of our different apps, we discovered that DirecTV does not support HBOGO in third party devices. Bummer. Well at least we still have Amazon & Netflix. Except both of these apps have a horrible black screen glitch which there's extensive troubleshooting for online, but I have no desire to fuck with now.

I like the Vizio tv just fine and I don't see any sort of fruit decorating it's facade.

Hooked up a Roku 3 for a customer today, gotta say the 1/8" mini jack in the remote for ear buds is very cool.

You know it's funny, I put my Roku down with all of my modems & routers and I completely forget that I have it.
