Yesterday and today I bought a new tv and new medicare advantage. I don’t know which was more difficult. They are both very complex and so many variables that it is difficult to get a handle. My head is throbbing from the extremely difficult purchasing chores

The discussion here is around brands. But when you get to the store or on line you are confronted with perhaps several different models of the same size of the same brand. Although they appear similar they can be different. The rule seems to be that for a given brand and similar specs, the cheaper is the older superseded model. The 720 p is less than the 1080 for the same size. Also to confuse the issue , the units on line are different models than in the same store.

I went to walmart simply because they have a wide selection and prices are reasonable. I did not go to best buy because it is all the way across town.

My suggestion is to go to where you like and find a size and then look over them all within that size. I think you will find that it is difficult to tell much difference. It is hard

Then there is input and output. The Sharp that just puked had many inputs and the new vizio has them but they are different. I am going to need to buy some new cables to use HDMI because the existing cables don’t match the new inputs.

I have a cable box, a DVD player, a computer and a WII to connect to it. Increasingly, we are watching from Boxee via the computer. If it were not for Fox news I would abandon cable
