How big is yours?

[Robert****]

No, not that one, I mean your Television Set!

We have a 32" LCD TV/Monitor. It's by Acer. Works really good but gets kinda hot.

[Algonquin]

I've been wanting a new set for a while, but the old 32' tube jobby keeps on ticking so I find it hard to justify replacing it just yet. I do want a new widescreen tele, but it seems the longer I wait, the more reasonable the prices get.

I thought that I'd go LCD for sure, but now I'm thinking Plasma... time will tell. Once I get a new set though, I'll have to get a new HD PVR, so the $$$ doesn't end with the purchase of the TV.

ummm... [grin]

60 something inches? it's kinda big, or something.

the one in the bedroom is little. but we watch 3/4 of our tv in the living room.

Sixty-one inches. Say hello to my "Great Wall of Testosterone".

42" LCD Flat Screen. It's nice with movies and our cheapie surround sound.

[Ch0jin]

42" Samsung Plasma. Fed by a custom made HTPC (assembled and configured by moi) and feeding sounds to a set of Logitech Z5500D's.

I love it! Hundred of movies and TV shows, not to mention music and stills all at my fingertips. The Logitechs are actually THX certified and as a result sound amazing well balanced compared to many "all in one" style home theater kits even though it's got a sub you could park a car inside

Downside is I like my lounge so much now I'm shopping for either an Epi VJ or a Champ repro (as I've posted elswhere) for the lounge

We have a hand me down one about like that from a buddy of mine that upgraded to some huge obnoxious one that I get to watch on guys movie nights.

46" LCD TV. It was a super speial offer, as we sell this kind of stuff in the company I work for. We rarely watch TV, so I thought of giving it to my mother and her husband and buying something smaller.

They're for wasting time you should spend practicing
I haven't had a telly since 1993. Just one of those things I never got around to replacing, really.

32" Hyundai Widescreen LCD HDTV in living room, and 21" Hitachi Flatscreen tube SDTV w/ Zenith HDTV converter in bedroom. Don't have any HDTV content other than OTA HDTV. Thinking about subscribing to Dish HDTV in the near future.

[Kazz]

well so far I guess I win the biggest tool wins the pool prize....ours is 65"

JVC AV-65WP74 65-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready Projection TV it was free.....the lady that gave it to us said one of the color tubes was out...turned out to be the convergence chip....cost me $250 bucks to get it fixed....had it for over a year now....definitely got my moneys worth out of it. NASCAR looks really cool on a big tv. :-)

When I graduated from military college and moved in with my GF, we had a 12" tube. But I didn't watch TV at all back then.

One weekend while she was working, I saw an add in the paper for a 36" tube for $300 - for me, that was huge. I went to go buy it to surprise her when she got home, I was going to be all lounging around watching it when she got home.

Well I had her car that day which was actually her grandmother's because her last car was totalled in a no-fault accident and she was still waiting on insurance money. A 95 I think Oldsmobile.

I bust into Circuit city, pick out the monstrosity, pay for it and the guys bring it out back to meet me. They say "uhh do you have a friend with an SUV?" - no (we just moved up there and didn't know anyone). "well you'll have to pay for delivery then because there's no way this is fitting in that car."

The box was easily 4ftx4ft if not more, no way it was going into the truck or in one of the doors.

The circuit city guys told me they couldn't help me, so they left me outside with the box and my car. I tried to take the TV out of the box but it was way too heavy and awkward for one person to handle. So I slid it up the side of the and it couldn't go into the door. I started throwing my shoulder into it to get it to fit into the car and it would budge a little at a time. After the 10th consecutive hit, it finally slid in. I was exhausted...

I had to drive home with one hand on it becuase it kept slamming into the door on the way home.

I get to my apartment at the time and realize I live on the 3rd floor, and there are no elevators.... and I won't be able to get it out of of the freakin car.

After 2 hours of intense thinking and physical labor, I got the TV from the car into my apartment.

By the time my girl got home I was passed out and couldn't move in front of the TV, so the ultimate plan worked, but the TV has a little scratch on the side (can barely notice it).

So yeah, I still have a 36" tube and it does the trick. I'd love one of the flat-panels to hang over my fireplace but a guitar is in the budget before a TV is.

[Robert****]

Glacies, what a story! Wow!

Wasn't that one of the 10 commandments?


"Thou shall not buy a TV before a guitar"

Glacies, what a story! Wow!

Complete with horrible grammar and everything. Was I drunk when I wrote that? Jeez, sorry.
