That is, until one day when my son turned the heat up to 90 before we left to go out to dinner. This was in July! When we came home the house was like the face of the sun and the processors in my television were cooked. Once the television cooled down it was usable and for a while there were no noticeable issues with it. When September rolled around and we stopped using air conditioning we noticed that when it got a bit warm (mid 70’s) all of the colors on the Television would turn pastel and blend together. I figured out that when the processors heat up the screen goes fugly.

Due to the fact that we have three radiators there isn’t much wall space for a nice media center so I’m focusing on a wall mounted LCD television around the $2500 range. I value being able to walk into a store and get educated assistance and Best Buy has one heck of a set up going on in their store so I’ll likely go there. I’m an online shopper but an in-store buyer. I found a lot of interesting things about buying televisions on the best buy site. They have a lot of things to consider that really helped me determine the best television for me. From looking on line I think I’m going to go with the Sony Bravia 1080P 52” television but I think going into the store to make my final decision is a must with a purchase this size so time will tell. Oh, and my thermostat now has a lock box around it!
