"consumer appliances."

All converged appliances suck, and probably always will, and the consumers are figuring it out, which will be the doom of the "convergence" meme.

Non-converged appliances usually work pretty well. My dumb TV displays whatever the HDMI flings at it, the separate optically connected surround sound system works beautifully, the computer hooked up to them just does its thing.



Spot on. I agree. I really miss the old Trinitron that this Bravia replaced. I hung onto that unit for nearly a decade and it never skipped a beat.
