      I would have gone with a Sharp Aquos. They are the only manufacturer that doesn't outsource it's parts are manufactured and assembled in the state of the art, highly efficient Kameyama Plant. I have owned many LCD and now LED's from SHARP and they have never let me down.

        It's still an LCD screen- LED is the type of backlight it uses.  Older LCDs used fluorescent lights, but LEDs are thinner and are now standard.

        Just get a plasma TV from Panasonic and never have to worry about all those complicated acronyms. 😉

            I totally agree with D666's statement. I was always a samsung guy, and my college buddy that's the General Manager talked me into a less expensive Sharp that is an incredible TV. it's 70 inches of pure bliss. If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly.

                    I took some Aleve as my migraines are more than likely autoimmune related (long story, awaiting diagnosis). The pain has gone but left behind a weird vision thing in my left eye.

                      Ugh.  That's annoying. Glad you're able to treat the pain though. Migraines suck.

                        By mistake, I allowed tapatalk to "upgrade" today.  Holy crap, the new version is awful.  I need to do some research and see if I can go back to the older, non-shitty version.

                            Uninstall the craptacular new version, then go here to download the classic version.  You'll have to change your default Android settings to allow non-Play Store programs to install, but the whole process only took about 5 minutes for me.  Totally worth it.

                                I sold my old Race Face Mountainbike Jacket at ebay…now the buyer claims, it's a women's jacket, because the zipper is on the left. 😉
                                I sent him good arguments that prove him wrong, but from my experience with ebay and paypal I can already see how this is going to end. The seller is always wrong, no matter ho stupid the arguments are.

                                    The next time…I tried to be polite at first (yet not giving in a bite and baring my teeth a bit)... Curious to see how this goes on.

                                      I had a guy who I sold a book to message me this morning moaning on about how he'd not received it, how he wanted a refund, how bad my communication had been etc…. A quick check on the tracking (which he had) revealed that it has been at his local post office for almost a week waiting for him to collect it.

                                      My reply was less than polite, have given up on eBay etiquette.
