    I'm not surprised the us bit-techers take time to choose the best option, but I'd be interested to know how that compares to the world at large.

    I'm guessing most non-techy people just go into the shop and buy the shiniest model on display ;)

    I've opened it up on facebook too, but the results are probably still skewed toward techy people.

    Done, its quite a simple questionaire, surprised you didn't probe the need for research, for example once upon a time you could walk into a shop an buy a TV on looks and picture quality alone, these days, its does it have x feature, y application or z codec support, along with gaming response and 3d crosstalk etc, can take quite a while to choose any consumer product these days due to the value add in features that are added to everything now even fridges.

    Done.

    Does it include mulling over time? I'd spend a week researching to find the right product and another couple of weeks mulling it over whether I can afford to buy it.

    It is definitely different for non-techies. I helped a friend recently choose a system. We opened up the Scan website and within a few minutes we had configured a system and bought it!

    On question 2 should have had a sometimes option.

    I bought a tv off Amazon (lg) picture-crap, sound-crap it was only cheap so I thought i'll just keep it....then I read on tech sites all the bad reviews saying any tv is better than this one.

    :(

    I could dump tv altogether all the celebrity reality nonsense annoys me i'll happily spend hours watching stuff on youtube.

    With pc tech though i'll go on advice from custom pc or bit tech.

    Hopefully all of this data will help you out (although it is probably not a true reflection of the general population)

    Done.

    For the last question, I thought it needed fleshing out as it depends on the cost of an item. For example, I bought a £400 Samsung TV about two years ago (it was on offer) and did a quick 10 minute search to make sure it wasn't terrible. On the other hand, for my PC, I spent a day or two (perhaps even more) researching overclocking, BIOS settings and known faults.
