OK this week I finally got down and purchased a 3D TV, and I have to say I’m rather impressed with the results. However, buying a 3D TV has become far from a cheap or simple project, so let me walk you through what I purchased and why I made the selections I did.

Which is why Vizio’s recent announcement has piqued some interest. Today the company announced its new 65-inch Class Theater 3D Edge Lit Ravor LED LCD HDTV. It looks to be a remarkable piece of equipment that even comes with built-in Wi-Fi and an app… Read More
