Yup.  As for my TV, would have been potential fun to repair it and maybe
use as a 'Magic Mirror' ==> project to display stuff like current and 
forecast weather conditions, electronic calendar reminders,

It would have been interesting to know if the second TV (on the shelf)
was good.  As it was only three originally.  I didn't get any 'feeling' 
from essentially the third one (the second one had been sold), though
potentially overridden by "I hope this one is good".

Definitely.
