I've already stated that I don't have BluRay.  You don't have to guess
about
this or risk the gamble.

I have a 19" one by Philips.  Oh, it's actually being used for a computer
monitor at the moment.  It will go back to being a TV when I get done with
a bunch of computer build projects I have right now.

I've been hunting around for GOOD one in the larger screen size.  So far I
have not found one I like.  Maybe there will be better ones next year.


| there's something seriously wrong with him

Yeah.  I read YOUR postings.
