Now I've got a 31" - but I had a smaller one before.
The last one died during a thunderstorm that took out a lot of my equipment. I was so busy that I didn't notice for several weeks. Trying to watch something the TV was dead. I thought that since I really don't watch TV too often I'd jst shop artound, and when a friend of mine replaced his TV with a 50something " LCD I got his old one for free.
Over here there aren't too many broadcasts in HD, so I won't bother for quite some time.

I have a 32'' Westinghouse LCD HD TV. I thought it was huge when I got it a year ago. For what I paid for it then, I could get one twice as big now!
These new TV technologies are amazing. I can't justify the upgrade now, but I see a 50''+ 1080p TV in my future!

and I never care (only shows i watch have Gears or Gunpowder)
how many people have them over gas log fireplaces?
my little gas logs put out some HEAT, but we only use them for an hour or so at a time.
wonder how a ~50 inch LCD would do over a fireplace?

63" Samsung Plasma monitor, why, movies, nature shows, and sports.
no it does'nt matter but, always get the best you can afford we only go around once.
IMO, currently (you know your asking because Christmas is around the corner) I would be looking at the Pioneer Elite series I wanted one of these when I bought the Sammy but they did'nt have a 50+, now with the prices of plasma so low I would'nt pass one up and the PE plasma 60" would be my 1st choice.
04ctd, it would look perfect though I don't think it would fair with the extra heat rising to kill it.

Plain old RCA 32" non HD.
We're to be dragged kicking and screaming to HD in another couple years.
If it still works I'll use it with a VCR in another room i guess.

Looking at my 27" View Sonic right now and it would work just fine... But I 'HAD' to get the 52...
darnit could have been Helix II...

I did a small move for a guy leaving the country. He was selling some stuff and among that stuff was a sweet Sony 65" wide screen HD projection TV. This screen is not measured diagonally like a regular TV. It is truly 65" long from side to side. It was almost new and I got it for half what a new one costs plus he threw in a Sony Dream Surround system. It's big but man when there is HD programming on it is awesome!!!

My old 17" computer monitor works great for tv. Oh I have an old 13" color in the garage.
My main computer runs a 19" CRT. Old and cheap. The monitors were free too!
Who needs a big tv anyways?
Have a good one.

I have a 27" Tube TV that I bought from he local Best Western for $40 when they upgraded to LCD's
I also get like 4 or 5 channels off of my Antennae.
I don't want to put out money for somthing to sit their, waste my time and be completly unproductive. I think their is less tempatation this way.
I don't want to spend my down time watching TV.
