My old Sony Wega Trinitron HD tv finally started acting up. a couple seconds after I turned it on it would shut off.. I had a couple seconds of audio but no picture.

After exploring a couple of self help sites, I decided to move on up to the 21st century and get an LED TV.



Decided on an LG 47" 'Smart TV'

It has multiple USB and HDMI inputs for I can play the series and movies my son downloads on his computer and brings to me on a thumb drive... such as Sons of Anarchy.

I now have it hooked up to my wireless computer router so I can load Netflix, YouTube etc.



It was only $100.00 more than the standard 47" HDTV so I hope it's worth it.

Anyone have suggestions on uses.. so far I haven't found out if I can monitor newsgroups while enjoying network viewing.



Oh yeah.. that old tube style TV that served so well for 8 years... loaded it and the wife's tv on my Mission utility trailer for a last trip to the electronic recycle depot.

That thing weighed 142 pounds... I could feel it in my back the next day.

#1 Your Sony Wega is/was not an HD TV.

#2 You need to buy ANYTHING that is "smart".

#3 Your son is bringing you illegal downloads.

#4 If you feel the need to "monitor" newsgroups while you watch TV your

life is more pathetic than your tax-cheating buddy Harry.

#5 I hope your wife helped you back your utility trailer into your

driveway and you didn't kill any innocent children.


Man... 5 dumb statements and all incorrect.
That takes a 'special' person, kruger.... short bus special.
