Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, known for his iconic budget speeches, often quoted famous writers and poets in the Parliament. While presenting the Union Budget on July 24, 1991- a landmark budget that ushered in a new dawn for the Indian economy, Singh had quoted iconic French writer Victor Hugo. In 1990, Singh had quoted Allama Iqbal during his speech. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh died on Thursday at AIIMS Delhi. He was 92. Earlier in the evening, he was admitted to the emergency department of AIIMS Delhi after his health deteriorated. In a statement, AIIMS Hospital said, "With profound grief, we inform the demise of former prime minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh, aged 92. He was being treated for age-related medical conditions and had sudden loss of consciousness at home on 26th December 2024. Resuscitative measures were started immediately at home. He was brought to the Medical Emergency at AIIMS, New Delhi at 8.06 PM. Despite all efforts, he could not be revived and was declared dead at 9.51 PM." In his landmark 1990 Budget speech, the former Prime Minister and the then Finance Minister Manmohan Singh quoted Allama Iqbal. "Yunaan-o-Misr-o-Rom sab mit gaye jahaan se/ Ab tak magar hai baaki, naam-o-nishaan hamara," he said. Manmohan Singh quoted iconic French writer Victor Hugo in 1991, while talking about India's economic potential. "Victor Hugo once said, “no power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.” I suggest to this august House that the emergence of India as a major economic power in the world happens to be one such idea," Singh said. "Let the whole world hear it loud and clear. India is now wide awake. We shall prevail. We shall overcome." Tributes Pour In PM Narendra Modi extended his condolences, saying, "India mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders, Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji. Rising from humble origins, he rose to become a respected economist. He served in various government positions as well, including as Finance Minister, leaving a strong imprint on our economic policy over the years. His interventions in Parliament were also insightful. As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives." Priyanka Gandhi wrote, "Few people in politics inspire the kind of respect that Sardar Manmohan Singh ji did. His honesty will always be an inspiration for us and he will forever stand tall among those who truly love this country as someone who remained steadfast in his commitment to serve the nation despite being subjected to unfair and deeply personal attacks by his opponents. He was genuinely egalitarian, wise, strong willed and courageous until the end. A uniquely dignified and gentle man in the rough world of politics."

Purdue Fort Wayne extended its lead to 56-34 during the second half, fueled by an 8-0 scoring run. Maximus Nelson scored a team-high 12 points in the second half as his team closed out the win. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .Five months after ( ) to its cybersecurity software that brought a large slice of corporate America to a halt, most of the issues surrounding the massive information technology meltdown seem to be resolved. And CrowdStrike stock appears to have recovered. That's the verdict from stock analysts, crisis management experts and industries impacted by the July 19 outage. The outage cost an estimated $10 billion in damages and affected thousands of clients using CrowdStrike's cybersecurity software. It also interrupted the lives of millions of people. The company still faces some financial headwinds as it continues to compensate clients over the episode. Indeed, many analysts say just yet. But it's getting high marks for its recovery efforts. "It's been a master class in how to handle that kind of situation," JMP Securities analyst Trevor Walsh told Investor's Business Daily. He added: "I haven't heard anything in the months and weeks since from anyone talking about how it was badly handled." Others on Wall Street echo those sentiments. D.A. Davidson analyst Rudy Kessinger said in a September note to clients that his brokerage surveyed two dozen CrowdStrike customers and came away with the "clear assurance" that CrowdStrike did everything it could to address customers' needs following the outage, and it was forthcoming about it. "Some customers indicated they had never seen such levels of transparency before, with some even suggesting they would 'double down' on (CrowdStrike) because of it," Kessinger wrote. A Return To Normal For CrowdStrike Stock Indeed, CrowdStrike's stock price suggests a return to normalcy. Its share price fell nearly half in less than a month — from the stock's July 9 peak to its Aug. 5 trough. Since then, 80%. It's back above where it was on July 18, the day before the outage, and is approaching that July 9 peak again. Investor's Business Daily in its computer software-security group, right behind ( ). It gets a Composite Rating of 95, out of a possible 99. Its Earnings Per Share Rating is 97 while its Relative Strength Rating is 84. But there are some lingering effects that could put some speed bumps in the road for CrowdStrike stock. For one, it still faces a major lawsuit from one of its customers, ( ). The carrier estimated it canceled more than 6,000 flights over five days, affecting 1.3 million passengers as a result of the outage. in damages. Offering Free Services Further, CrowdStrike continues to compensate affected customers through various means — including deep discounts on expanded services. Those are expected to impact the company's financials well into next year. For the company's 2025 fiscal third quarter, which ended in October, on a key metric, annual recurring revenue or ARR, for the fourth quarter ending in January. ARR is tied to subscription services growth. "The ongoing headwinds from more customer commitment packages will likely move consensus ARR estimates lower for the next few quarters," BMO Capital Markets analyst Keith Bachman said when in late November. The the cybersecurity company is reporting a 97% customer retention rate. "Depending on need, our customer commitment packages encompass additional modules, professional services, flexible payment terms as well as discounts and extended duration to a customer's subscription," the company said in a prepared statement. "The leading mechanism for these packages is our Falcon Flex program, which provides customers with access to any and all modules they wish at compelling economic values." 'Blue Screen Of Death' On July 19, millions of workers were greeted with a "blue screen of death" on their computers. That screen shows up when 's ( ) Windows operating system gets jammed. The reason for the jam was that CrowdStrike issued an automatic update to its Falcon Sensor security software, designed to detect attacks on certain Windows-based systems. But the update provided too many "input fields," causing system crashes on an estimated 8.5 million computers worldwide. Those who rebooted found that it reintroduced the error to their computers. Factories, hotels, retailers, emergency services and government offices were all hit. Particularly hard hit were financial institutions and health care providers. Airlines took a body blow, forcing them to strand passengers for some time. About six weeks after the outage, in late August, CrowdStrike itself for the year as a result. At the time, however, it managed to beat second-quarter earnings predictions. CrowdStrike's quick response won the company praise from a number of circles. It also didn't hurt that the company's president, Michael Sentonas, days after the outage to accept a trophy for the "most epic fail" in the industry. A Razzie award of sorts, the move probably won over a sizable number of those affected by the outage. Sentonas vowed to display the award prominently to remind staffers of what could happen. "It always helps to own up to a mistake and take responsibility," said Kelcey Kintner, senior vice president at Red Banyan, a crisis management PR firm based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "There was no way for CrowdStrike to hide from this. The company had to lean in, and own it." CrowdStrike Stock: Holding It Accountable In written responses to IBD, Kintner praised CrowdStrike for its response to its clients. But she says they could have done more to communicate with the customers of those clients. "They missed the mark on apologizing to all the people that sat in airports for days, the everyday individuals that missed weddings, funerals, and other impactful life events," she said. "The company needed to communicate to those folks directly in a really transparent, impactful and human way. That was the missing piece in their response." Kintner says it's difficult for consumers at the end of the chain to hold the cybersecurity firm accountable. "It's a lot easier to stop or stop — both brands that suffered from severe customer backlash after a crisis," she said. Making Lemonade From Lemons Still, the company appears to be making lemonade from lemons. It's offering trial runs to affected customers on additional products — much like a cable company offering free HBO to subscribers. That gives CrowdStrike a chance to ultimately sell more goods and services. "As our (Chief Executive) George Kurtz stated in our Q3 earnings, Q3 gross retention was over 97%, and customers are spending more, entering into longer subscription terms, and taking the opportunity to achieve their consolidation objectives faster," a CrowdStrike spokesperson said in a written statement for IBD. Kintner notes that CrowdStrike has become more high profile as a result of the crisis. She says that could work in the company's favor. "Most people had never heard of CrowdStrike before July 19th. Now they certainly have," she said. "And even though the whole experience was an enormous PR nightmare, the company can potentially build on that name recognition as they move in the right direction. Everybody loves a comeback story." Seeking Delta Lawsuit Dismissal Perhaps the biggest obstacle for CrowdStrike is the Delta lawsuit, which alleges negligence against the cybersecurity software maker. Delta claims CrowdStrike "forced untested and faulty updates to its customers." CrowdStrike called Delta's allegations "spurious" in a recent a 39-page motion to dismiss the case. It added that the pact between the two precludes the airline from seeking $500 million in damages. Neither Delta nor its attorneys returned messages seeking comment on the proposed dismissal. But CrowdStrike points out the airline remains a customer. Ultimately, CrowdStrike stock analysts are largely pleased with how the company has handled the crisis so far. "While the company will face some lingering headwinds over the next 12 months as a consequence of the IT outage, it does not change our positive long-term view of CrowdStrike," Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives said in a recent note to clients. He added the company "remains the gold standard for cybersecurity with the outage only representing a dark chapter" in its growth path.
Myles Garrett’s Blunt Reaction To Micah Parson’s Game Against Commanders
Poseida Therapeutics executive chairman sells $283,866 in stockMissed kicks. Poor tackling. Costly penalties. Week 12 was filled with sloppy play around the NFL, leading to some upsets and surprising outcomes. Jayden Daniels nearly led Washington to an improbable comeback down 10 in the final two minutes against Dallas only to fall short because Austin Seibert's extra point sailed wide left. After a field goal and successful onside kick, Daniels connected with Terry McLaurin on an 86-yard catch-and-run touchdown to bring the Commanders within one point with 21 seconds remaining. But Seibert's point-after attempt failed and the Cowboys returned the ensuing onside kick for a touchdown to seal a 34-26 victory. Special teams were atrocious for both teams. Seibert also missed his first extra point and Washington allowed KaVontae Turpin's 99-yard kickoff return for a score earlier in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys missed a field goal, had another blocked and had a punt blocked. "What a wild special teams moment of blocked punts, kicks, kickoff returns, blocked field goals, just a number of things going to that spot," Commanders coach Dan Quinn said. Washington (7-5) was a 10 1/2-point favorite over the undermanned Cowboys (4-7) but ended up losing a third straight game. The Houston Texans were 8-point favorites against the lowly Tennessee Titans and let the game come down to Ka'imi Fairbairn missing a 28-yard field goal that would have tied it with just under two minutes left. C.J. Stroud threw two interceptions, was sacked four times and the Texans (7-5) committed 11 penalties, including an illegal shift that negated a go-ahead 33-yard TD pass to Nico Collins on the drive that ended with Fairbairn's miss in the 32-27 loss. The Titans (3-8) averaged just 17 points per game before putting 32 on the scoreboard against Houston's defense that entered No. 4 in the league. "We didn't do anything well enough to win this game," Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. "Out of all the positives that we did have, there were way too many negatives. Too many negative plays. Score, get a penalty, get touchdowns called back. Get penalties on special teams. Just way too many negative plays defensively, like unexplainable explosives for touchdowns. We just didn't play good across the board." The San Francisco 49ers didn't have quarterback Brock Purdy, star edge rusher Nick Bosa and All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams against Green Bay. That was no excuse for their undisciplined performance. The Niners committed nine penalties and their tackling was shoddy in a 38-10 loss to the Packers. The defending NFC champions are 5-6 with a trip to Buffalo (9-2) coming up. They're still only one game behind Seattle and Arizona in the NFC West. "I'm really not concerned right now about how many guys were missing. We didn't play good enough, so that's not a factor. But, when you are missing some guys, you do have to be better. When you have those penalties and we didn't stop the run like we did and we had those three turnovers in the second half, that's how you get embarrassed." Coming off their first loss of the season, the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs needed Patrick Mahomes' heroics on the final drive to beat Carolina 30-27. Mahomes ran 33 yards to set up Spencer Schrader's 31-yard field goal as time expired. Kansas City had 10 penalties, including a pass interference that gave the Panthers (3-8) another chance to make the 2-point conversion that tied the game with 1:46 remaining. On defense, the Chiefs (10-1) suddenly shaky unit gave up 334 total yards against Bryce Young and an offense that entered last in the NFL. "We've got to do better. We're doing good in the red zone but that's only a third of the field," Chiefs safety Bryan Cook said. "We will go back and look at the film to see what we're doing week to week, and see the tendencies that we're giving up, and just move forward from there. At the end of the day, we're all vets in the room for the most part. ... got to go back to the drawing board and see what we're doing and correct it from there." The Vikings allowed the Bears to recover an onside kick with 21 seconds left and Caleb Williams followed with a 27-yard pass to D.J. Moore to set up Cairo Santos' tying 48-yard field goal. But Minnesota won in overtime, 30-27. The Chiefs and Vikings overcame their mistakes in narrow victories. The Commanders, Texans and 49ers couldn't. They have to be better down the stretch to make a playoff run. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
Driving resilience and growth: A transformative budget for 2025
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson via American Greatness, Donald Trump will not be president for almost another two months... Yet Democrat politicians, both federal and local, vie to be the most strident in denouncing his plans to begin deporting millions of foreign nationals who, over the last four years, have entered the U.S. illegally. Trump pledges to focus initially only on the 400,000 to 500,000 current felons and some 1.4 million additional aliens who have ignored legal summons for their deportation. Weekly we read of thousands of illegal immigrants arriving from areas controlled by violent Mexican cartel gangs or failed, strife-torn South American countries that have emptied their jails to send their felons northwards. Hundreds of thousands of them have been committing violent crimes while demanding still more free housing and support from strapped American taxpayers. Big-city left-wing mayors and city councils boast that they will do all their best to nullify federal immigration laws, even as their cities face near insolvency housing, feeding, and monitoring the influx. More specifically, they brag they will continue to order local and state authorities to resist all efforts of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. They scream about possible “massive deportations” to come under Trump, callously ignoring that their own advocacy has fueled rising crime waves of unaudited illegal aliens. And they appear absolutely indifferent to the social costs imposed by illegal immigration upon their own poor and middle-class constituents. Virtue-signaling Democratic governors and mayors have so far not dared to utter a word of criticism about what has been the Biden administration’s truly historic “massive importation” of illegal aliens into the U.S. over the last four years. Why? Largely because these political grandees and media demagogues have the money, connections, zip codes, and influence to be immune from the fallout of their own performance-art advocacy of illegal immigration. They take for granted that the baleful consequences of open borders always falls upon the distant and vulnerable Other. Again, consider the left-wing logic: it is deemed moral to dismantle the border, disrupt the social fabric of the country, and destroy federal immigration laws. But: it is immoral to restore U.S. sovereignty, secure the border, stop the flux of lethal cartel-supplied fentanyl and child sex trafficking, and follow the law? In this regard, the party that prides itself as progressive is regressively adopting the states’ rights arguments of 19th-century southern states that boasted they would resist all federal enforcement of tariffs. By the late 1850s, these future Confederates were asserting that the national government had no jurisdiction in their state domains. Such brazen nullification would lead to the Civil War. Note the left assumes that conservatives will not emulate their tactics and thus declare swaths of federal firearms or environmental laws null and void within their red state and county jurisdictions. They know that doing so would start a cycle of lawlessness that would eventually result in either civil war, total anarchy, or both. The open-borders-left’s more immediate spiritual predecessors are states’-rights-resisters like former segregationist Governor George Wallace. He boasted that federal civil rights legislation had no sway over his own state’s laws. Wallace, remember, in a historic moment, was removed from blocking the entry of black students to the University of Alabama by federal troops. Given that nullification now has been turned upside down, will California Governor Gavin Newsom or New York Governor Kathy Hochul block the entrance to their state jails to prevent federal agents from sending home murderers and rapists who arrived in the U.S. illegally? The left has learned nothing and forgotten nothing from the recent election and decisive Trump victory. The defeat of left-wing candidates was a result most prominently of the Biden administration’s deliberate destruction of the southern border and the illegal welcoming of some 12 million foreigners without legal sanction or health and criminal background audits. This lawlessness ensured that Kamala Harris, who had sanctioned it, was going to lose the election. The daily sight of thousands swarming the border with impunity, coupled with Orwellian assertions of President Biden, “Border Czar” Vice President Harris, and Homeland Security Director Alejandro Mayorkas that the border was absolutely “secure,” doomed the Biden and then Harris campaigns. Violating U.S. sovereignty and laws while sending millions into already frayed health, food, housing, medical, legal, and education social services designed to help American citizens was never a winning campaign strategy. Yet almost nothing could deter the Biden-Harris administration from their fixation with undermining the border and federal immigration law while seeking to change the very demography of the American southwest. The resulting influx of illegal aliens within just three years proved comparable in size to the creation of some 12 American cities, all the size of San Francisco. The mass crossings resulted from an effort by Joe Biden to utterly disregard his oath to faithfully execute the laws of his country. He was also helped in his lawlessness by some 600 state and local “sanctuary city” jurisdictions that subverted federal law by using their own offices to thwart immigration enforcement. Indeed, left-wing state and local officials pledged their own greater fealty to the welfare of the illegal millions who ignored the law and swamped the border than to their own overtaxed and underserved American citizen constituents. Finally, on November 5, the people said no more. In historic fashion, traditional Democratic constituencies of the working class and minorities turned on their own left-wing politicians who had first turned on them. Yet the cynicism of the left had known no bounds. As the presidential campaign had heated up, and the polls, first for Biden and then for his surrogate Harris, began to erode, both began to lie that their vanished border was in fact “secure.” In other words, they knew they had permanently alienated the American public , knew that it would cost them the election, and so then frantically first tried to deny the truth they had welcomed in millions of illegal aliens. Then they pivoted and sought belatedly to stop the public relations disaster at the border for a few weeks before the election, vainly hiding the sheer cynicism of such an insincere effort. Earlier, they had tried blaming border hawk Republicans for not signing onto a false border “bipartisan,” red-herring bill. The left introduced it in Congress solely to allow blanket amnesties for millions of illegal aliens while still allowing 4,000 illegal aliens daily to enter the U.S. The great majority of sane senators who did not sign the Trojan Horse bill were then immediately demonized for the mess by Biden and Harris themselves, who deliberately created the catastrophe. Now that the election is over, an enfeebled Joe Biden has two months left on his presidency and no longer worries about reelection. So, in its final gasp, the left is again trying to invite in more illegal aliens. Apparently one final huge caravan is forming south of the border and plans to make its way northward just days before Trump takes office and begins to fulfill his promises to the majority of voters to close the border. Finally, why did illegal immigration explode to levels never seen before? One, the left saw millions of desperately poor foreign nationals as a natural long-term constituency for their big-government, anti-poverty programs. They felt that some 20-30 million illegal aliens over the last 50 years, along with their children, had flipped California, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado—and soon Arizona—from blue to red as planned. Of course, should the sudden Hispanic backlash against the immigration insanity of bicoastal elites persist, then the left might turn on their Hispanic voters as illiberal or brainwashed by the right—and ironically move to close the border to preclude more MAGA boosters. Two, Mexico and Latin America received some 120 billion dollars per year in remittances, mostly sent by their own citizens residing illegally in the U.S. and reliant on American government services that free them up to send billions into the coffers of our own increasingly hostile neighbors. Mexico further sees its 20 million expatriate illegal aliens as a strong lobby group to promote Mexico City’s agendas. The more Mexico exports its impoverished citizens, the more it saves on social services for them, while cynically noting that the more distant and longer their citizens reside away from Mexico, the more they romanticize it, safely from afar. Three, corporate employers like cheap labor from Latin America, especially when the U.S. government subsidizes such workers with massive housing, food, transportation, and health social services. On the other side of the ledger, the left cares little that an open border is destroying support for legal immigration and de facto punishes immigrants who wish to follow our laws. A cynic might argue that the left also may fear legal immigrants applying under meritocratic standards, as too independent, self-supporting, educated, skilled, and law-abiding to become its predictably loyal constituents at the polls. So, what might change to close the border and stop the massive influx? Donald Trump won the electoral college and the popular vote with a mandate to restore border security and immigration sanity. He received a near-record number of minority voters for a Republican candidate, given they believed that most often must deal with the realities of what elites have unleashed. In other words, the proverbial people are on to the no-borders elites. They suffer firsthand from their utopian bromides and are tired of being smeared as racists and xenophobes for simply wishing the United States to follow the law, restore secure borders, and end illegal immigration. And now they have the power and mandate to do all of that.Michigan aims to cap lost season by beating Ohio State
Ed Sheeran has apologised to Manchester United's new manager for interrupting him during a live Sky Sports interview. Ruben Amorim was speaking after United's 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Sunday when the singer walked up to hug analyst Jamie Redknapp. His intervention brought the interview to a halt before Redknapp told Sheeran to "come and say hello in a minute". Some people on social media said Sheeran had been "rude" and called for him to apologise. "Apologies if I offended Amorim yesterday, didn't actually realise he was being interviewed at the time, was popping to say hi and bye to Jamie," Sheeran wrote on Instagram. "Obvz feel a bit of a bellend but life goes on. Great game though, congrats on all involved." The game at Portman Road was Amorim's first since he left Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon to take over at United.

Neural DSP Nano Cortex Review
76ers share update on Paul George’s statusListen up, folks — we all know that is a great time to shop for TVs and tech items, and are certainly delivering on that promise. I recently needed to buy a new television and settled on a a relatively on Amazon Canada. It streams apps like Netflix and Disney+, has stunning visual quality, and best of all? Right now it's , which is more than 20 per cent off its retail price. TCL 43-Inch Class S4 4K LED Smart TV Given the low price, I had some doubts about it's quality — but I'm happy to report that this cost-effective TV is fantastic and has seriously improved our leisure time. Scroll onwards to read my full review of the and see if it's the right fit for your home. I also rounded up some of the other — just scroll to the bottom! Unbeatable value and excellent quality. The TV has 4K Ultra HD Resolution, Motion Rate 120 and HDR PRO that provides exceptional visual detail, improved motion clarity and enhanced contrast. It also has Dolby Atmos which provides an immersive, cinematic audio experience. For streaming, it has Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Spotify and dozens of other popular services as well as the ability to search and download less popular apps. It has three HDMI inputs for gaming and other needs, and has Alexa technology that let's you hold down the voice button and ask her to find and launch content. In terms of appearance, the TV has an edge-to-edge glass design that would look perfect in any setting. As mentioned, I'm not very tech-savvy, so I anticipated that I'd struggle — but I truly had no issues. It's extremely user-friendly to find what you're looking for and to start watching right away. It also has voice control technology, so you can ask it to launch programs for you when you don't feel like typing. The interface is also customizable and you can change the audio-visual options for the different streaming apps. The TV comes loaded with all of the most popular apps like Netflix, YouTube and more — and you can search and download more niche apps. For instance, my partner downloaded the Kanopy app so he can watch library-sourced documentaries and Armenian animations. As well, we found it easy to stream from our phones and laptops and cast it to the TV. TCL 43-Inch Class S4 4K LED Smart TV One of the first things we did was watch and the difference in visual quality between the TCL and our old TV was immediately noticeable. A few quotes from my fiancé: "Shit, that's crisp!" "I'm getting lost in Elijah Woods's blue eyes." "There's even enough brightness settings to make watchable." From taking the TV out of the box to getting it mounted on our wall and watching Netflix, the entire process took maybe 10 minutes. It likely would have taken us less than that but it took us a a bit to figure out how to attach it to our wall mount (entirely our own fault, not a negative to the TV at all). I was genuinely shocked at how light this TV is! Our old, non-smart TV weighs about 30 pounds. The TCL weighs under five pounds, which made it extremely easy to carry up the stairs to our apartment and subsequently hang on the mount we already owned. The only thing I dislike about this TV is the size, and that's my own fault for choosing a 43" instead of a 50." When doing the measurements, I made the error of measuring the width of the wall we would mount it on. From that I surmised I needed a 43" TV, but the way TVs are measured is across the diagonal. Because of my mistake, the television is a little too small for the area we have it in, but it's not the worst problem to have! The TV has a 4.1-star rating on Amazon Canada and has been bought more than 2,000 times in the last month. "The best budget TV I've ever owned," says one customer. "I would recommend it all day." TCL 43-Inch Class S4 4K LED Smart TV with Fire TV Another notes that they're "impressed with what this TV offers," particularly "at such an affordable price point." Others write that "the colours are rich and vibrant," it's "very easy to set up" and offers "unbeatable value." However, a few people say "the sound isn't the best" — I would agree that it's not exactly cinematic or comparable to what you'd get out of a sound bar, but the sound quality is not a concern at all for me. I am extremely pleased with the and would 100 per cent recommend buying it. In fact, I'm likely going to repurchase this TV in a bigger size now that it's on sale. I'm impressed with the quality of this device, it's weight and how easy it is to set up — and at the price of just $270 with Amazon Canada's Boxing Day sale, it doesn't break the bank, which is always a bonus. If you're on the hunt for an affordable TV that gives excellent performance, I'd definitely check it out!
