1) What's the cheapest way to get home internet? I'm moving so if there's a way to cut the cord we'd like to do that. Can we use a wireless device as a hub or something?
2) I'm ditching the old set (19" Magnavox from 1999 thank you), but am not going nuts. What specs should I look for as far as refresh, resolution, etc. are concerned? Specific set info would also be appreciated. I'm not going bigger than 40" and may go 32".
Many thanks. I live in the stone age.
1. Certain Android phones can act as wireless hubs. This usually comes at an extra cost from your provider, but not if you root the phone. Otherwise, DSL is probably the cheapest way to go.
2. The standard for larger LCD/LED sets these days is 1080p resolution, and 120hz refresh rate (higher end sets now have 240hz). But honestly, if you're looking at a TV less than 42", those things really aren't going to matter too much. And at that size, the major manufacturers are pretty much putting out the same stuff. They don't really start to differentiate themselves until you get to their mid to high end stuff. Definitely stick with the major brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, etc. Don't get an off brand. I would suggest you just look at them in the store and judge what looks best to you. You can get a decent 32" these days for $300-400, sometimes even less on sale. And don't
buy in the store until you look at the same model online. You can find some good deals on Amazon and other sites.
