Q. I am looking for something that will help me find a new HDTV. I want to be able to search by price, maufacturer, etc. I want the results to be displayed dynamically so I do not have to wait and push buttons to get more results. Also, I want this HDTV finder to give me up to date prices and tell me where I can buy this TV on line. I know it exists. I saw this one at TweakTV and I like it very much, but not sure if there are others. The one at TweakTV at www.tweaktv.com/comparisonTool.php is good and I bought a TV from there, but I want to see if there are others.
A. I spent some time at TweakTV based on your suggestion. I wound up buying my TV there after I noticed that Amazon seems to be their main vendor of choice. The tool they have at TweakTV was very helpful. I used the comparison tool. I found it at www.tweaktv.com/comparisonTool.php . I also noticed that there is this whole world of "calibration". It seems that most of these TVs come out of the plant way to bright. These guys at TweakTV give you calibration settings for your TV to get the best picture quality. I went there to buy a TV and I left with a new understanding of TV calibration.
How much is this computer worth?
