    TV broke yesterday. I hate buying TVs. On one hand I only want a cheap one that looks half decent. On the other hand, I'll walk into a store and see a shiny one with sharp pictures and want it.

    Keep in mind that most panels are made in the same factory, it's the supporting hardware and software that makes the big difference.
    Cheaper stuff does tend to have pretty shi77y software.

    we have a Samsung and I'm pretty happy with it.

    The one that just broke was a Samsung. It lasted 7-8 years. Would by one again.

    But fortunately I won't have to. Getting a hand-me-down from the mother in law. Nothing fancy but it'll do. The main purpose of the tv these days is to play the likes of The Wiggles, Hey Duggie, Teletubbies and Curious George on endless loop anyway.

    You didn't subconsciously break that old TV did you?

    I know the feeling. My beautiful 64" TV with Foxtel is used basically for recording and playing ABC4Kids.... over and over and over... so sick of the Peppa Pig and Thomas jingles. Things we put up with for our kids.

    There is a abckids app you know and you can use that on iPad or android tablet.

    My son is already bored with most of them.

    People not resizing photos to post on the boards. I've done it on occasion, it's inconvenient, stop doing it.

    Also housemates who don't clean up after themselves. If they want me to do it they can knock 50 bucks off my weekly rent.

    what size is too big? i think some of the ones from my mobile are pretty large so a couple of my 'action shot' photos may have pissed you off...

    This is very subjective as what's 'too big' or 'too small' is dependent on what resolution you are running.
