[mythtv-users] Recommendations for HDTV?

[Peter Schriver]

I have 6 LEDs at the moment. Smart TV is a complete waste of time for me and actually causes more problems. My LG 60” is on it’s 5th mother board. The last 2 I have had to put in myself since it is now out of warranty. My favorite TV is a 50” Changhong http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889624014 <http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889624014> I bought from NewEgg for next to nothing. It has a great picture but a crappy remote and poor sound which is not a problem with my set-up. I really thought I was going to get a piece of junk since it cost less than $300 but I was pleasantly surprised. Wait till it shows up as a Shellshocker special.
