Well, we lasted almost nine months with no TV in the bedroom, but it was getting to be about time to be able to lie in bed and watch Curb — I mean, Trading Spaces. And so we are jumping on the LCD bandwagon — the cheapest one of its size by a country mile that, should it not quite live up to our expectations, we can actually return to a brick and mortar store over here. [We could've saved $20 and bought one from a leading online retailer, but I hate doing wholly virtual business. I once paid far too much for the first commercially available mp3-cd player, an off-off-off-brand that arrived dead.]
Using my patented customer research method [googling "{manufacturer} sucks"], I found only one complaint — dealing with the manufacturer’s customer service, and if I have any problems with the set I’ll just take it back to the local Costco store. Case closed. Time to check order status again.
