Re: Westinghouse HDTV LCD, speaker crackle, and HDMI cable BS




why are you even wasting your time with the crappy tv speakers? almost
any receiver/speaker combo is going to sound better than that...

All good so far, except the sound crackles. The bozos at Best Buy tell
me "It's your too-cheap Toshiba 1080i DVD player." I buy the
progressive scan LG DVD with 1080i on the HDMI output, and a way
overpriced Accoustic Research HDMI cable, also recommended. I grumbled
over the cable.

...
WTF? First they sell me the overpriced 54.00 one, now they tell me it
isn't good enough and I need the 125.00 one!

Is there something new I need to learn about "special magical freaking
cables", or do they send them out there with orders to screw-over
customers seeking help?
