Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
Well, assuming that most sport fans are the ideal large TV buyers, this is only practical. If you have ever tried to watch SD football/baseball/basketball/boxing or just about any other sport that finds its way on to ESPN, on a HDTV any larger than 40", you will quickly become sick. Whenever you walk into an electronics store, they are trained to ask if you watch sports, and if you answer yes, you are automatically upgraded to the large size (50" +) TV's, as they know that seeing the game in a large format is probably going to be more important to you than the people who spend their day watching Soaps. So again, lets follow the steps, people who like sports, like big TV's, which they buy, and then have to watch ESPN HD in order to enjoy it, period. I could of told you the result of this survey before it was performed.
You said it... This is the major reason I don't watch much NFL network, it's not in HD(now). I watch ESPN more by default since I can't stand SD TV I just end up surfing the HD lineup or the DVR for things to watch.
