Philips 22” 720p LCD HDTV - $149.99

Television? Why would you want to buy a television?

The future is podcasting, friend.

Sure, you could get this refurbished Philips 22” 720p LCD HDTV if you need a giant paperweight or something. But unless you use the PC-input to hook it up to your computer (and you could definitely do that) you’re going to miss out on the real entertainment, like Never Not Funny.

What good is the 1366x768p HD LCD display if it’s not makin’ you laugh, right? Try using the Settings Assistant for that: try programming it to increase the amount of thought-provoking humor on TV. It’s not gonna happen. And yeah, the Digital Crystal Clear will give your images amazing depth and clarity in widescreen, but if it’s just some boring reality show who’s going to care? Not us.

Child Protection? Remote Control? Adjustable Screen Formats? Useless, all of it. About the only thing you’d actually use on this TV is the Sleep Timer, because if you’re not watching Jimmy Pardo you’re on a countdown until boredom knocks you unconscious anyway. What’s the alternative? Jay Leno making fun of small-town newspapers for their typos? At least Letterman- wait, what? Letterman does that bit TOO, now?! See? This is why I only watch podcasts.

You think you’ve got better options? It’s not like they’re bringing Conan back any time soon.
