Glossy screens give more contrast, blacker blacks. I dont think Ive seen any TVs recently that dont have a glossy screen.

And I had to do the same things after just like you did replacing the battery. Mine quirked after an upgrade.

Just remember, your thermostat is gonna be the best it ever is the moment you install it. Mine,upgrades are free- so far.

It's a t-stat, not a Mac lol

Mine isn't glossy. RCA.

I can't get a glossy screen. Shiny screens make me crazy. Or, more crazy than normal.

With temperature, just like speed and anything else physics, the higher the number the more energy it takes to sustain or increase.

Yes, it is set at 120* (like just about anyone's HW heater I'd venture to guess) but think about what you said.
It's an 80 gal tank. The water was heated to 120. 7 days later, the water was an approximate 80* in an area with an ambient temp of 52*. I'd say that's pretty good.
How long would an 80 gal bucket of water in a 52* room take to lose 40*? A lot less than 7 day's I'd bet.

Exactly. Also, mine stores it hot in case 5 people want to shower, do laundry with hot water, and run the dishwasher all at the same time... Can your inline (or any inline) do that?

I agree, love my plasma. And it is an "older" one. circa 2007

I think you're really missing the concept of the "on demand" water heater and the inefficiencies of keeping 80 gallons of water heated. To save some headache, why don't you tell us how you think an inline water heater works and we'll go from there.

I get the purpose of it, but I don't see the advantage of multiple inline's vs. an actual efficient tank style.
An "on demand" water heater is an inline heater that heats water as it is called for.
My understanding of them is that they are great for a bathroom etc on an end of a home that is away from the rest of the hot water requirements. This way you are not running hot water through pipes the length of the house.
To adequately supply hot water to all required places in a 3 bathroom home, I don't see how an inline would keep up? You would need one per bathroom, and for the laundry and one for the kitchen.
Tell me where I'm wrong...
