I've got a 29" regular ole 10 year old tv, but I am looking for a broken rear projection HD to replace it with. Around here the blubs go out and people sell them for cheap, so I can normally get a 45-50" for $200 plus the $200 blub. A lot cheaper than $1900!!!

Don't let your wife know why you want that in the bedroom....

53" Hitachi HD here. If I go get another one, its going to be one of the plasma flat screen to hang on the wall, current one takes up alot of room and is really heavy.

Up until Friday I've had an RCA 27" tube for the last 10 years. Last Friday a girl I work with asked me if I wanted her old TV because she was getting a new one.

A 36" RCA tuber. Xbox edition......yeahhhhhhhh buddy.

I have rca jacks out the wazoo now. Dont have to switch back and forth between the vcr, xbox, and atari now.

I don't have cable or satellite. Just watch a few movies and play games during the winter.

Sucker's huge........and heavy.

Aside from the 32" RCA that's at least 10 years old, there is a 20" Stereo Zenith in my Bedroom that isn't exactly new on a non tivo last generation DSS reciever.

There is a blippin' ANCIENT Magnavox 19" on the floor in my room.

And 3 other 19 or less around here.

Shoot, I'm still using a CRT Monitor. A decent one (ViewSonic A75f 17")

i have a 42" Sony Grand Wega in my College Apartment. I sit only a few feet away when playing Halo. For some reason i cant play when sitting far away. Thats what 90% of my TV usage is. That and HD-DVD's and the occasional football game.

It was wrote 20+ years ago it was called "Learn to talk back to your TV Set"
It said "The avg male from age 2 will watch over X(amount) of hours of tv during his life time. This will equal 9 years"
I forget how many hours, but i rem. the years..

Umm 32" living room 21" bedrooms..

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.
I could not agree more my wife hounded me after we moved to put the sattelite up so we could watch TV I said I will I will. Finally I did and productivity around my place came to a grinding halt. I fight it as long as I can then have to put it all back together so she can record Paula Dean. I guess it is kinda nice now that the days are so short. Its a 32" magnavox at least 12 years old.
