I got a good deal on a Sumsung 47 inch projection Tv at Sam's Club for $1000 back in February. I love it.

We have a 60 inch. I thought it was craxy when we first got it, but now it seems like everyone has a huge HD TV. It seems unnatural to watch TV on anything less then 30 inches now. I know that sounds crazy, but it is true!

We have a 42" Plasma, great TV, but I hate the emphasis placed on it.

I was reading too that plasma tv's dont last as long as others too.

Their lifespan is about half of a "normal" TV. LCD's are the way to go, if you're going the HDTV route...their lifespan is about the same as a "normal" TV.

Color my cynical, but I refuse to spend over $300 for a television. I wear glasses, so "the detail" will probably be lost on me the second dust lands on my glasses (which is usually 1.5 seconds). However, even if I had 20/15 vision, I wouldn't do it because the shows still suck. Yeah, I want to see somebody eat a pig penis on Fear Factor in crystal-clear HDTV. And, HDTV TOTALLY kills Skinemax. You can see those implant scars WAY too clearly.

Nice Fear Factor factoid there. I HATE that show.

Well, it's all set up. It's not as enormous as I thought - I mean, it is HUGE, but it doesn't take up the entire wall like I thought it would. I'm dealing with it. Still haven't watched any Mac on it yet...

Every other Ledgie lives in a movie theatre and I live in the early 90's with a 21" Sony.

Hey, it's not like it's a 13".

If this thing was in my living room, I'd have thrown a fit. But it's in our finished basement rec/family room.

Honey, I bought my TV second hand when I moved out of my mum's house.

In 1989. It's a 16" Spectra Tech.

(Has anyone actually ever heard of Spectra Tech??)

My friends tease me that, if I had my druthers, my house would consist of nothing but all the coolest electronics (big screen HDTV, DVD player, surround sound system, etc., etc.) and then just a couple bean bags for furniture.

I love electronics. Always have. I just wish I had the money to afford more of them!!!
