INFORMATION ONLY!I don’t own this drive; however I did just purchase the previous Caviar Green 1.5 TB WD15EADS model.

Bottom line, this TV is currently ranked the 3rd best 32inch TV according to consumer reports, only behind the much more costly Samsungs, but ahead of the more costly Sonys. Tier one brand, great price, buy with confidence.
My TV situation: stood in the corner of formal living room, designed not to dominate room, used a [...]

Viore PLC7V95 7-Inch Handheld LCD TV with Built-in Tuner

I wanted to replace my old portable TV with a digital one. I tried out one from Best Buy about a year ago and ended up returning it a few days later. I took a chance on this TV and was surprised to find also had a USB and SD slot capable of playing MP3s, [...]
