Speaking of cheap Chinese imports

Almost too good to be true

Almost worthwhile driving to Toowoomba to get one.

Or maybe hook it up to your laptop via a USB and project some nice stars on the TV so you can watch it in the lounge while keeping the beer cold .

A similar one is $1 cheaper at www.kogan.com.au and they deliver. They have a great range. I bought a 32" LED TV to use as a monitor for my imaging and it has been great.

IIRC this was on the idiot box (TV) a week back.
Kogan were spruiking they would give you the TV "FREE"
if there was a better price out there,
( for a unit with the same specs.)
JB dropped their prices for one unit, and before Kogan could better em ( which they did pretty quick ) about 14 people ordered from Kogan.
Dunno if they ended up getting em for free tho :-)

At that price, it's now added to the 'must have' list - right after a place to live and a job

All the more reason to buy a big screen TV.

Hope your work prospects are better than mine. I don't regret the move to Tassie but the jobs available down here are few and far between.

50hz screen refresh is rubbish, flickers like hell. Compare it directly with a 200hz screen.
