In the market for a new LED TV? Westinghouse just introduced several affordable LED HDTVs, priced for those on a budget. They measure just 1-inch at the edges. There is a downside though.

It doesn’t support HDMI 1.4a, which means no 3D support for you. Models up to the 42-inch model are Energy Star 5.0 compliant, while certain models also support being hung up using a wall hanger, instead of a specialized mount.

I am not a very patient person. I want my computer to switch web pages right now, and I don’t want to wait when I click a link for a page to load. I want things to be like flipping TV channels. I really get frustrated waiting on my TV to change inputs when I am watching movies.

The People of Lava are coming. They are probably crawling out of volcanoes right now and setting the world on fire. Wait, it’s not 2012 yet. Who the hell are the people of lava? The Swedes of course.

Remember the old days when TVs were more a piece of furniture? They were stylish and had substance and they were so heavy that once you put it in it’s place, it stayed there forever. TVs have slimmed down a lot since then and they’ve lost all of their good looks with the weight.

Halden-Caviglia TV sets want to bring back the retro TV using today’s technology.

The mount is a freestanding unit that puts your TV up in the air on the wall, but doesn’t need a stud to mount. The legs of the stand support the weight of the TV. There are two models including the FS56 for screens up to 56″ and the FS46 for up to 46″ sets.
