Simon,

This in not meant to sound degrading, I only need to know for
purposes of deciding what people will buy and why/why not.

I was wondering why you opted for the 5" B/W TV when you
probably for a few bucks more attained a 9" color. Remember
now, this is only for investigation purposes only. Thanks
