I just use AV myself. Big expensive TVs are just too... expensive. They are a luxery item that goes beyond normal luxeries like the video game systems I get. I know the image isn't the absolute best or whatever, and like EVERY TV I've ever seen, the edge isn't a perfect rectangle but rather is curved so the edge of the TV occludes the edge of the image (which sucks when you play a game with the health bar RIGHT at the top). I'm not sure WHY EVERY TV is designed with this CRIPPLING flaw, but they are, and it sucks. Okay, maybe the rich people's TVs don't have it. I don't recall seeing it on those "You'll never be able to afford this so just kill yourself" TVs on display in stores.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
