I know you are referring to TV, but why is there no quartz? Just wondering.
Granite is a rock, so it can be porous. It has to be sealed every 6 months or so, but it is not a hard job. Quartz does not. If you spilled red wine and left it for a couple of days, it could stain permanently because it will absorb into the granite rock, but I assume most people wipe their counter off more than that. I like the shine of granite and the irregular coloring, since it is a natural substance. Quartz is not porous like granite because it is manmade.
