Salesperson: "Ummm, it goes up to 100. It goes really bright."

of course a costco employee isn't going to know shit about HD. they may not have even been trained. most employees working at electronics stores understand far less than the average engadgethd reader. "never listen to the salesperson" is lesson number one.
