I've been trying to help a friend shopping for a new TV. Just a flat screen, around 40 inch, to plug in the cable box and go. But what I'm finding is shit like;
Quote:
This model--which has an edge LED backlight and dual-core processor--uses the Google TV Internet platform, which includes the Chrome browser, access to the Google Play apps market, and access to streaming movies and TV shows from several services. Using the built-in microphone on the wedge-shaped, dual-sided remote (QWERTY keyboard on one side), you can search for content using voice commands. Like all LG LCD TVs this year, one of its HDMI inputs is MHL-enabled for playing music, photo, and videos stored on a smart phone on the TV.
What? Can I launch shuttle missions with it?
They're a lot more money, too, twice what my 42" plasma cost a couple years ago.
