I got a Kindle FireTV stick and found myself barely using it. The content just wasn't compelling. Yeah it has some stuff but it's like you're forcing yourself to find something for the sake of using it.
So I basically cancelled my renewal of Prime for next year. The shipping and music were the only two things I used but shopping less saves money and Google music is free with ads just like Pandora and others.
I have a two year payoff plan for both vehicles so if I can cut some of these little things to help, then heck yeah I'm gonna.

that sony will more than likely out live you
. i remeber the old sony wegas when there was no flat screens being made the old crt sets. the son'y were always heavy as hell and bullet proof. and they had the best picture at the time
i just now checked the date code on the back, December 2008that sony will more than likely out live you
but i cannot recall when i bought it. i no longer have the sales slip
i had a Hitachi 27" tv, in fact, tossed it out last year..lets go back in history i was speaking about these things took 5 guys to lift em
View attachment 46106
took 2 of us to carry it down 2 flights of stairs, using a 2 wheeler in fact.
it was the old style cathode ray tube tv.
heck 1080p wasn't widely adopted either like 1080i is. the problem with 4k is that it takes about 4X more storage space per minute of footage than standard HD. in addition to requiring the purchase of hundreds of thousands of dollars in hardware for the broadcasters and then to convert it to transmitting would require millions of $$$ in upgrades another issue is space such as bandwith on cable and satellite providers if they went full 4k they would crash lol as well as in media productions. i am just happy that some baseball and football games are being broadcast in 4k not many but a few are

i had a 19 inch hitachi and i sold it years ago it took one person to move it though. for the time the picture on em was amazing
i went with the Hitachi over other brands specifically for the 10 year warranty on parts..
i only replaced it cuz it was like 15 years old, and the picture was not as sharp as the 1080i.
i also needed and got the "converter" that was free from the feds, to convert the new digital signals to analog? something like that.

I had an LG Plasma flat screen and that thing was a POS! POS I tell ya, The damned thing would heat up and then turn itself off and back on over and over.
Never again will I ever buy anything LG. I had an LG phone and it was a POS! I had an LG A/C unit and it was a POS. I knew I shouldn't have bought the t.v. but I did and as stated above it was a POS and a potential fire hazard.

i cannot recall how or where LG started.
i do know that at one time, we had appliances made by " Goldstar", and they'd be the biggest POS around, and got bought up by some other company,.
well wouldn't you know it...read this....!!!!
LG Corporation - Wikipedia
haha LG lifes garbage is the old goldstar with a new badge is all
i had an LG plasma screen it didn't last 3 years turned it on one night and it went poof. had an LG microwave and it would run with the door open also it would not turn off lol. never again will i buy LG knowing it's goldstar wich was crap back in the day
yeah, i knew goldstar was bought out by someone, as i was typing my response, i did a quick search, and found that i was right.
thing is, they make large appliance as well, stoves, fridges, washer/driers.........
i had a student at my school, that was a sears appliance repairman. he wanted out of that.
he himself told me to STAY AWAY from LG.......
i would run like hell from LG they make ice that don't work dryers that make better door stoppers and washers that explode just like samsung crap. i have a friend that owns her own discount house and i asked her about LG and samsung and she to told me to run like hell trying to get parts for em was murder let alone trying to get someone to fix it. she stopped carrying the both of them that's how bad it got
yeah, the parts things is what the sears tech told me as well.
