It's still amazing to me how unreliable flat screens are. Over the years I've owned Quasar, Panasonic, Sony and Magnavox CRT television sets and not one of them ever died on me. They survived numerous kicks, beer baths, power surges and moves across the state.

I wait forever, finally bite the bullet and get a flatscreen last year and treat it with kid gloves then the thing craps out in less than 3 months. Had the damaged parts replaced and it buzzes like crazy. Young women during the Salem Witch trials suffered less torture than i have listening to this damned thing.

I feel your pain Worf.
