The general consensus here, which I'm *hoping* isn't true, is that the
inexpensive TVs manufactured by Funai (symphonic/emerson/sylvania, et al)
*typically* only last a year or two tops. One thing that seems nice about
the Symphonic 23", is that the 23" size gives you a significantly larger
viewing area than a 20" while still not being excessively heavy. The total
shipping weight of the TV is around 64 pounds, (the TV itself is around 55
pounds), so I *think* an average guy who is in reasonably good shape could
get it into the car (if the box fits), and then carry it from the car to the
house without a 2nd person.
I would have bought this TV instead of an inexpensive 20" Sylvania, except I
wasn't sure if the box for the Symphonic would have fit in my car. Also the
20" I bought has a much flatter screen, and is a bit more stylish looking
than the Symphonic 23", but it might have been better to have the larger
viewing area of the latter. Another factor in my choice was that the
cabinet I'm using was not intended for a TV greater than 50 lbs., but I
doubt that the 55 lbs weight of the Symphonic would really be a problem.
Anyway, *hopefully* the Funai-made TVs will last longer than what I'm told
here!

| That's why one occasionally sees a TV box in the middle of a Wal-Mart

Unless the Wal-Mart is close to Canada and then you see several pairs of old
shoes scattered around!

| Hey!! Leave Canada alone, eh! Have another beer, and don't be such a
| hoser!
I found that the weirdest sight one time, looking at the empty parking lot
of a Target 20 miles south of the border after closing and seeing all these
pairs of old shoes standing where the cars had been! They say that smuggling
is the real national sport of Canada.
