I am organising my posts. Please tell me exactly what the heck this=20 "Prima" is? TV? PTV? Projector? No where can I find a description. The subject line is useless as far as = what the unit is. We need to say: "Prima 20 inch TV modelxxx" or such.=20 Many of us are not familiar with brands not sold in our area. And saying = this "unit" did this or that ...
