If you were paying any attention at all, you would have noticed that I posted earlier today about this product.

I got on a long tangent about nothing, and forgot what I was actually going to say about the product. How silly of me. Please forgive me. That was not a request.

Are you familiar with the various defects a TV can have? There are so many! As a person who used to walk in the electronics department of a prominent retailer, I can say with much confidence that I have seen many TV’s decay right in front of my eyes!

Sometimes the power supply goes bad, and it won’t turn on. Sometimes the switch goes bad, and it won’t turn on. If it’s a plasma, you can start to lose individual pixels. Or on some older plasmas, you could have an image burnt into your screen permanently.

The most sad defect, however, is when a TV randomly starts picking up discolored spots. This is what happened to my TV. Two weeks after I bought it.

Oh, great, I know what you are thinking now… “Jason, why did you not simply return this TV? You could have exchanged it for a nice, new, non-defective one. Or you could even have received a full refund.”

Haven’t you ever heard of laziness, you critical human being? Stop lecturing me in my head with Mr. Roger’s voice. As I just showed two sentences earlier, there’s a reason for everything I do. Or don’t do.

Anyways, if that’s what you’re thinking, then you’re right. I’m not complaining against Philips. They’re a great brand in my opinion, and there’s a reason I bought one of their TV’s.

Actually, I’m not complaining at all. In fact, I just realized that I could look at the positive side of this whole situation.

I happen to be the only person I know who has a TV that can make Johnny Depp look like a smurf, or make Ingrid Bergman look like she has cirrhosis. Beat that.
