Prices start at $550 US for a 55-inch Samsung model.

So it reverts to the same accessibility challenges as the others in a portion of visits.

It's always amazing to see how many words people have to use to rationalize betrayal of their stated values.

The best advice?
Read.
Read all we can, study everything there is to know about the situation. Learn all we can. Listen to other opinions.
When we've done all that, we've done all the hard work.
The last part is easy.
Do the right thing.
