Remind me to take all of you shopping when the time comes  ::)

I wouldn't touch a Vizio with a 20' Pole after two of them died on Lady Noto (she's the TV killer, apparently).

I'm still pissed that Lady Noto didn't let me buy that 55" LG LED 120hz TV for our new condo.  It was $499 USD, minus 10%, but she thought that she would want 'bigger' or a Samsung "because Samsung is better".  Now look and see what the cheapest 55" TV is...faking $899 or higher. a WRX,  SOOO pissed.
fixed.
 :P
Funny - but remember, she's the one who actually edged me on to buy a 6MT WRX.  And here she's edging me on to buy a bigger, "Samsung-ier" TV.

She has no concept of money.

Just because you're a cheapskate doesn't mean she has no concept of money.  :P

And no, she doesn't.  Read the Porsche thread discussing her dad.  Her mother was much better off, but decidedly middle-class (on the lower end of it).  She's a hard worker and deserves what she has, but there has to be some concept that money is not always there for disposal.

He has made a buck or two over the past few years, and he paid <$50k for a 14 year-old Porsche.

...except for buying shoes.  Those I like to try on :)

Decent means that it won't die on me in the first few years and that it's big enough for me to see from 15' back (hence the 55" or larger).

The THX rule is 1.2 x screen diagonal. Other people use 1.4 which still means you won't be buying a TV big enough to be sitting 15 feet away from it. Better buy a telescope while you are at it.

Funny, I still can't convince my mom that the TV doesn't have to be in the farthest possible spot from where she is sitting.  (she still thinks "It'll ruin your eyes sitting too close")

My parents own a Corolla and a 9 year-old RX400h, which was purchased used out of the proceeds of a settlement after her 15 year-old minivan was totalled in a rear-ender.

Don't worry - she wouldn't want to damage the platinum.  She'll use the cheaper brass knuckles that she got from Oliver's Jewellers.
