You know that nice 32'' RCA HDTV I got back in May from my brother, which became Anna-Lena V3?
Well, I might need to replace her soon as she is now having trouble turning on when it's cold, even if I turn the heat up in my room. The power supply is about done for methinks. And her current incarnation was so good though... 32'' picture, two component inputs....
But then again, the set is already seven years old. Perhaps it's time has come.
As of now, I have three options:
*Downgrade Anna-Lena back to V2, the 21'' iSymphony HDTV. Yes, I still have Anna-Lena's previous incarnation, now serving as Lilly's monitor. This would be the best option at the moment since this set has two HDMI inputs, analog audio output, and multisystem (NTSC/PAL/SECAM) support.
*Bring Max, my first HDTV out of retirement. Problem is, he has no HDMI input and no analog audio output... only digital coaxial output that only works with ATSC broadcasts. His internal speakers aren't really the best either.
*Buy a new HDTV during Black Friday. This would normally be the best option, but if I already have a replacement HDTV that works well, why buy yet another one? The only upside is that I can get a picture larger than 21''.
I'm already leaning towards the first option.

It's just one source so I have no idea how reliable this article is, but since some of us are from this particular country I want to ask. Is the situation really this bad and nonsensical over there?

Yeah I'd rather have a Bravia or a similar LG model instead.

Look... Sears and Kmart...
I don't mind Black Friday sales, but what you are planning to do for Thanksgiving 2013 is truly insane!

The TL;DR version: Kmart is opening on Thanksgiving morning at 6am and staying open for 41 straight hours through Black Friday itself!
Black Friday should remain on Friday... not expand to include the Thanksgiving holiday itself. Give those employees a chance to spend Thanksgiving with their families and friends rather than toiling inside a likely crowded retail environment.
