Back when Tam L. used to work for us, he and I would routinely hop outside to just shoot the shit about the latest technology news, the latest home theater products from the big CE manufacturers (that’s Consumer Electronics, y’all), and overall just general tech-geekery. I really miss those conversations, and, honestly, really miss Tam!
I can’t do much about getting Tam back to Philly, but I can open up my door to talking about Consumer Electronics! So, I hereby dub myself as the “Electronics Dude (trademark pending)”, willing and able to answer any and all of your questions about consumer electronics.
So, if you’re noodling the purchase of a new HDTV, a set of home-theater speakers, a home audio system, even furniture to put it on, give me a shout and I’ll walk you through the pros, the cons, the haves, the must-haves, the things you should be excited about, and the things you should stay away from. I won’t try to sell you anything, I won’t steer you towards a particular brand, I’ll just listen to what you want to do, answer your questions about the gear, and hey, even come by your place and set it up for you.
Yes…I’m just that crazy about this stuff.
Who’s first?
White beaches and the world's biggest K-Mart. 
Sign me up! 37 – 42 in LCD with the biggest bang for the buck, since I won’t spend much more than 1000 of them.
I posted this under your repsonse, but thought I’d place it here as well just in case (since it’s about 3 months after the fact):
The Sony KDL-40V2500 is currently selling around $1900-$2000 at most major electronic stores (and that’s when there’s a sale). Do you still forsee a price drop closer to the $1500 range in the near future? Although this is the model I definitely want, I’m willing to wait to save a few hundred dollars–but don’t want to wait too long, only to have this model taken off the shelves for a newer, more expensive one…
