Let's talk TVs. You know where I stand: A lot of lower-end models are perfectly good -- and definitely easier on the wallet. But what do you sacrifice when you choose a cheap TV instead of a high-end model from, say, Samsung or Sony?

For answers, we brought in CNET TV guru David Katzmaier. Trust me, if you're in the market for a new screen, you do not want to miss this discussion.

Also in this episode: My new-favorite coffee maker costs a measly $16. We'll be doing a much deeper coffee dive soon, but for now, here's the gadget to get.
