    I feel like I’ve missed something. I don’t dispute any of the horrible experiences people have had, however I’ve had nothing but good luck. The only thing about our current television that bothers me is the promotional wallpapers that get applied every-fucking-time a new Disney property needs advertising. We buy relatively modestly priced units in the $300-$500, so maybe we just have different expectations than someone buying a much more high end unit. It is also possible that it has been pure luck and I’ll reply to this message one day soon to recant everything.

      The TVs you buy force you to see ads even when you’re not watching a program and you’re like “I’ve had great luck”?

      • Some people don’t base their entire personality around hating the existence of ads and jumping through outrageous amounts of steps to avoid them.

        So yeah, count me in for a TV that always works how I want it to but had a background ad that I can completely ignore and has no actual bearing on my life.

        There are so many more important things for me to spend my time and energy worrying about.

          Ah yes, the only two options: complete apathy, or basing your entire personality around hating ads. Did I like hit a nerve or something, or why did you get so defensive over a joke?

      promotional wallpapers

      What’s that? I mean, I know what a wallpaper is, but when would a TV display one of those?
