> [@tpgsr](#): > > ^^ no Ethernet port and no wireless = no way. I prefer to pull up netflix without having to go through the DVD player. yea, I’m used to having my laptop connected via HDMI for hulu/netflix. What I think I want : LED (room is pretty bright) wifi/apps built in ~60" (size matters?) I don’t use cable/sat, just OTA HD, bluray, and hulu/netflix. Wifi/apps are preferred, but I may just get an apple TV or Boxee edit: I also plan on buying a soundbar for time being. ---
