I leave all this stuff to my kids and everything gets set up in no time. We have that same dimmer thing on ours too. So annoying.

That adjusting light seems weird and one of those things that they thought we would want that makes little sense but they throw it in just because they can. <br />The old TV's were simple but a monster to lift. I needed a wheel barrow to get my old one out of the house. Kind of like these wafer thin models.

She glanced at the instruction book, tossed it aside and plugged it in, then sat back as it automatically scanned and tuned in all available channels, then hooked up the DVD player and I was set. She even set it so I could access TV through the DVD player so only had one remote to bother with. Easiest pizza she ever earned she said.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-30448432837317143412017-01-12T06:36:04.984-05:002017-01-12T06:36:04.984-05:00We changed our TV before Christmas.
