In other news, my old LCD television (the cheapest model I could find seven years ago) stopped responding to its remote control a couple months ago. I was looking for a replacement, and lucked into a sale at Costco. It was at the upper end of our budget, but it was also larger, and had more features, than I expected to find in our price range.
It was delivered today. It looked great, until I plugged it in and turned it on. The screen went black with a vivid and distinctive shatter pattern across the screen. It looked like a windshield that had been hit with a baseball.
Anyway, Costco is a great company to deal with, and I reported the problem and got a commitment for a replacement in a quick phone call. The only problem was taking the new TV apart, packing it back in its box, and getting the old, partially defective TV back up. And, waiting for the new one, again.
