    Have one and could not imagine life without it. It is great for everything you would rather see up on the bigger screen. Gotta fit your needs, but for me it took every Tiger baseball game this season from a tablet to the 52. I feed both hulu and netflix along with hbo. Got a youtube concert up now listening to James Brown from 68. Only had buffering once, but the internets was fuggered up in the neighborhood for a couple of days. For the price, it is the poor mans smart tv.

    I have one and use it often. When I travel it is a life saver. Hook it up in hotel rooms, etc... $35...why not?

    Or both since it's so cheap, I like the hotel room idea, never thought of that.
