Haha! I once posted a thread complaining about the weightiness of my TV. It was quickly derailed, but there's a few good responses near the end. Sony Wega CRTs are damned heavy and will give you an instant hernia if you try to lift one.
Quote:As far as the DVD player goes, it looks nice. I don't even own a DVD player, not counting the Xbox that is. I've got a modded box, and it takes care of all of my media needs. There's this app called Xbox Media Center, and it streams video content, music, pictures, you name it, over the network to the 'box and plays it without any problems. With the High Definition pack, you can even get the Dolby Digital Audio and 480p out of it (not on that TV, unfortunately). Quite delicious. I've also got Linux on there, but it's mainly just a novelty (save for the SAMBA file sharing), as it's brutally slow.

I've read up on the wonder that is a modded Xbox. If I was still into consoles and owned an Xbox, I would probably have modded it as well.
For now, I'll stick with my Philips DVP642. It was relatively cheap and plays almost everything I throw at it.
Next stop: media PC :)
