OT: Universal Remotes & Projection TV's...
Our 18 year-old rear projection TV (55" Letter-box) has finally failed... or not quite... the blue sweep only, dips dramatically in the upper middle of the screen making for some garish looking pictures... particularly on old B&W Hitchcock re-runs (playing here w/o commercials ;-)
So I bought a 55" LCD (LED-backlit) at 1/4 the price of the original.
So the first perennial question: Is there a truly universal remote available that actually works easily, in a darkened room?
Second question: The new set weighs 40#, the old one is so heavy I can barely lift one end. I had visions of throwing it on my pick-up truck and taking it to this weekend's hazardous waste at the local park. But I'd need a couple of moving-company-strength assistants.
Anyone here in Arizona want it?
If not I'll bust it up and dispose in liftable chunks. ...Jim Thompson
