RE: Need a new TV

Victor,

First, I would like to say what a nice thing it is you are doing to try and help the old lady in PA. I told my wife about your effort and after a day of reading and watching TV about Ferguson and all the other ills of the world, she remarked to me that hearing about your effort reminded her that not everything in this world is f'd up. It is a simple thing you are doing, but it is nice to know people are still capable of extending small kindnesses to one another.

Anyway, my recommendation would be to scour Craigs List and other similar sources for a gently use Pioneer PRO-151FD. LCD has made advancements, but even the very best current model LCDs kind of suck compared to the Pio Kuros. There will likely be nothing to match the Kuros until such time that OLED gets all of its kinks worked out, and don't look for that to happen for at least 2 - 3 years.
