Notes to Self

Apathy and Other Small Victories, by Paul Neilan

Wicked, by Gregory Maguire

[1] X-Arcade joystick, for retro goodness.

Sledge Hammer

30PW8402/37B

Online Price: $387.99

Special Price: $335.00

30" screen size

35"x23.5"x21.5"

1080i/480p

Audio out

Basically every type of input in the back: HDMI, component, S-Video, composite, and RF.

Side has some video input, headphone output.

The above set seems to be sold out.  But this is not all a bad thing.  I'm thinking it was put into closeout to make way for putting the very similar successor model there.  Essentially it seems like the same set but with fewer mixed reviews and complaints to be found online, which seems like a Good Thing.

30PW8420/37B

Online Price: $387.99

30" screen size

33.8"x21.7"x21.1" (so actually a little smaller than the other set... 88%-ish the volume)

1080i/480p

Audio out

Again, basically every type of input.

Again, side has some video input, headphone output.

TV stands... they basically seem to be huge monstrosities or nearly sitting the set on the ground.  I want something maybe 3' foot from the ground, and without encasing the set so it's difficult to actually connect or disconnect as I know I'll do frequently enough.  Close-ish but not right things... TV I'm considering is 35" wide, 22" deep.
