Slow news day, so I figured this was as good a time as any to remind folks if you are planning on making a purchase you *may* want to wait until Black Friday (the day following Thanksgiving) for some special deals. Last year we saw a lot of online vendors competing with B&M (Brick and Mortar) so hopefully that trend […]

Read moreDon’t totally fall out of your seat here, as the Nielsen survey does take into account all TVs into this. Out of those users with an HDTV set, the number dips to 20% which is about what I’d expect.
