RE: [OT] HD LCD TV - 26" recommendations?

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Being the very impatient chap that I am, I just went and bought the
Panason=
ic from John Lewis and a =A3150 wall bracket.

Unfortunately, on getting it home, I decided that I really don't like the
s=
creen (without even turning it on! Why are all these screens so damn pig
ug=
ly!!!! What ever happened to slim, sexy screens with thin surrounds - they
=
all have several inches of nasty plastic surrounding the screen, making it
=
look smaller and out of proportion. Maybe I'm just used to my nice
Panasoni=
c plasma?

Also, to add insult to injury, when I got it home I found that it has a
non=
-standard wall bracket connector, so the expensing one I bought (or in
fact=
any that I've seen I think) won't fit it! :( Despite being told it would f=
it. The whole lot's probably going back although I've not seen anything
tha=
t looks half aesthetically pleasing.

What a load of ****.

Can you tell I'm having a bad evening :(

Rant over! ;)

Paul.
