Is the TV "smart" enough to have a "firmware" update available?
We've got a Panasonic 42" plasma that is our main TV. I've got an HDMI spiltter on the main input, with the cable box, BlueRay player, and Chromecast plugged into it. Whenever the TV has been off several hours, on turn-on we have to manually switch the HDMI splitter from the Chromecast to the cable box. Dunno why, or if that behavior can be changed.
The video mode selection on the TV has always "stuck" on the last setting the way it's supposed to though.
My step-mom has a huge 36" Sony tube TV. It weighs over 200 pounds. It still works fine, but has no HDMI inputs or anything else appropriate for interconnections to the web or anything else from this century (other than RCA/coax). It's going to be a huge pain to try to replace.
It's kind of astounding what one can get these days for less than $2000 - often substantially less, but doing the comparisons is a huge pain in the neck...
Good luck.
Cheers,
Scott.
