Most important things for your TV:

Size (bigger is better - this can vary a lot depending on the area where you are going to put your TV in, however. The further you are from the TV, the more size you need. I'm pretty happy with my 40", although the viewing distance is relatively short.)

Contrast Ratio (more is better. This makes a HUGE difference. So REALLY REALLY REALLY pay attention to this).

Maximum Hz (get a 120 Hz TV if you can. It makes a huge difference on EVERYTHING you watch. Playback will look a lot smoother and way less jerky. Go see a demo at the store and you will notice the difference).

Reviews (look online to see what people have to say about the TV)

Who makes the TV (I highly recommend you buy a Samsung or a Sony, as they typically make the best TV's if you are in the LCD department. But they are typically more expensive).

Weight (heavy ass TV's suck ass. Pay attention to how much your TV weighs)



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
