can someone plz tell me what this "under 30 inch bc $9 tax thing" is? for what ulterior purpose does this serve?
tv bought at best buy, if this helps
seems quite racist to me. those dicksmackers

all electronics in BC have a recyclable tax I believe. Laptops have them. TVs have them as well. The bigger the size of the TV, the bigger the fee. Its like a disposal fee or some shit.. cash grab if you ask me.

Just be glad it wasn't 32" or something. Then it would have been $30.

i thought he was sarcastic at first, but its a fail at sarcasm.
Reason is, there are huge monitors you can buy that is only considered "LCD monitors" b/c they don't have TV input.
If it has TV input on the monitor then its considered a LCD TV no matter if its 15" or xx"
yes im a geek

This is like someone explaining a joke. If you just tried it, you might have gotten away with it. Now, I just had to fail you.
