If it really bothers you, and/or if you have other components to control, then you could consider buying a relatively inexpensive learning remote with macros. The Sony RM-VL600 is a good one for under $25.

ETA: BTW, the price is down to $477 at Wal-Mart.

Also, the resolution of TV's is not usually adequate for computer use. Even HDTV's have a much lower resolution than a comparably sized monitor.

Although my local Costco (Milford,CT) was out of this model,and will not be getting it back in, they did have the 32" vizio ldc for $399.I bought one yesterday.the two year warranty from costco was a major selling point for me!
