VIZIO M190VA-W 19-Inch LED LCD HDTV



VIZIO M190VA-W 19-Inch LED LCD HDTV with Razor LED Backlighting, White

Kitchen counter space is always at a premium at our house.  I tracked down this 19” LED LCD TV and mounting bracket at Amazon.   The first thing I liked was I could get it in white.   Look around, that is not as easy as it may sound.   Secondly I have seen many Vizio TVs at friends homes and they have been happy with them.

The TV gives a clear, sharp picture with good sound quality.  It is a great size for the kitchen.   I was totally impressed with all of the stations I got without the cable box.  Who knew that my channel 6 Philadelphia station had 5 variations?

I have only one complaint and albeit is minor it was still annoying.  The mounting holes for the industry standard VESA mounting kit were slightly skewed.  My best guess is no more than a 1/16th or 2/16”  but the TV is slightly off kilter.   Before you assume I am the village idiot, I did us a level to mount the bracket on the wall and if I put the level on the bracket with or without the TV attached, the bracket is level.   I can only conclude that the mounting holes on the TV were slightly off.

The side lighting LEDs do seem to provide a nice bright picture and I look forward to the benefit of the long lifespan of LEDs.

I received zero compensation for this posting besides benefiting from a good price.   I did get it at Amazon.

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years.   I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt.   Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can.   The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas.   I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began.  I installed the shield and repositioned the handle.   Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine.   It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.   It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence  of five pulls.   You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go.   The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly.  I was unable to get it to release line on the grass.  I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release.   I
