I know. I had a blanket over it and the blanket made me lose my grip.

The TV is now defiled so I need to sell it and get a new one.

My TV cost 4200. That and HD DirecTV combined with Super NFL package.

NFL Sunday = my only true addiction.

Therefore, I figured the outrageous price was worth it.

Randal, surely an equivalent TV today doesnt cost $1800?  Mine retailed for $1000 2 years ago, Id say its worth about $250 at the most today.

I've thought about that before and I think it all comes down to trading up. Buy a tv for $500 sell it in a year and get a $700 tv for $300 then in a year sell that tv and get a $1000 tv for $400...and so on and so forth. Or rent to own. Or maybe people are just successful.

I wait for technology to make my current TV a joke before purchasing a new one.. Right now there are TV's with fancier bells and whistles, yet the highest HD is 1080 and the sound is relatively the same, so I am keeping it for a good while.

I have a question for all the TV buffs.

And sure, I could use google, but fuck that, that requires effort on my part.

Why are flat screen TVs so god damn heavy? They weigh more than some CRT TVs of the same size.

Rather than one large projector there are thousands of tiny ones. That's my uneducated guess.

Depends on the type of flatscreen (LCD vs plasma) or if you are considering DLP to be flatscreen, even though its not really. SMall CRTs tend to not be to heavy, but the glass they use no plasma and LCD is pretty damn thick, so smaller ones still weigh a ton, but bigger ones get significantly lighter then crt counterparts.

My 50" Plasma weighs FAR less then my 36" CRT does.

I live right across the street from a major news network in downtown Denver and some Sundays, I have to choose whether or not I want color or sound.  :laugh:

And I have to lean my body in a certain direction to choose between the two.

i'm pretty nearsighted and don't like to wear my glasses so HD or not, i can't tell the fucking difference. :wink:

but our TV isn't small at all. at least not to me and it works great. i don't need all those bells and whistles and stuff, as nice as they are.

Yeah i payed $200 for my T.V. I think its 60 or 70 inches of Toshiba theaterwide Hi-def Rear projection That sits on box speakers as big as the t.v. at its thickest point its 2 feet thick The whole unit stands about 5 and a half feet tall. half of that screen.

similar to this model:

the image quality excellent; I think its a 2003;so thats 4 solid years of service and still going strong. It takes 3 men to lift it has roller wheels(its pretty heavy)The only drawback to it is that it does
show reflection so; its best to keep the lights low unlike the newer
plasma`s you can shine a flashlight on and it won`t give a reflection on the screen. Luckily the remote has a light function; and the ability to control 4 other devices. High def is as good as my friends
brand new plasma(this size of a monitor;lol) I got it when the original owner had to get rid of it because it was too big to take across country; they said $50 so I gave them $200. I get really paranoid that som1 might break in and push my t.v. down the street since it has wheels. Now I look at everybodys t.v. and laugh at the size and say hahaha my pic in pic is as big as that and when they come over I turn the pic in pic on and say "thats your t.v."

Yea some people just have dif priorities i have a 37" LCD Westinghouse that does 1080p and im only 18. No my family isnt rich and im not a spoiled brat, i just love my videogames and had been saving money and i saw this sexy beast in the store i work ats black friday sale and i just had to buy it. My ps3 360 and PC all look awesome on it. That being said some people have different priorities, like i could have been saving for a car of my own but i prefer technology > everything else. Also anything i have that is not a living essential i have to pay for myself w/o parents help at all, i.e. comp/videogames/tv. And actually i have the nicest/biggest tv in our house.

BTW here is a pic.
