Do you already own an HD Flat Screen TV?

Do you already own one of those High Definition HDTV's?

aahh, i'm feeling much better now.

I got one of the last 'Tube HD Flat Screens'. It's huge compared to thin LED ones -- but I like the picture better -- and it's still HD.

None of the above. Unless the 32" one I got for Christmas last year counts as a "great big" one. I do like watching sports on it as I can follow the puck better.

The new TV caused the rotation of the older, progressively smaller ones in the bedrooms and the 12 inch with the rotating tuner out the door.

I said I would take it to a reputable recycler, the wife said we must donate it to charity. What the demand is for a 12 inch CRT, non remote control, NTSC TV these days I don't know but they gave her a receipt. I just hope they recycle it responsibly.

3 years now. 42" plasma. HD really makes a difference in picture quality.

Me a millionaire and I got a 26 inch LCD from Toshiba - and it's just what I needed.

Ummm-- yes, Id say a 32 inch is a big one. Not "great big", but "big". Far larger than televisions used to be in the "olden days".

Close enough for the poll's purposes. I was just wondering. We got one last week. A 32 incher. And that was larger than what I had before. Unfortunately, I could not find an American made television anywhere. Sad, sad day.

Depends on priorities and room size. And of course who's size chart you read.

I thought the 30 foot long living/dining room (AKA wasted space) would be a perfect place for about a 70 inch flat screen and some comfortable chairs. I was over ruled. No one has been in there since the dog died.

 

[burrocrat]

at least it wasn't the rabbit that died...

 

[PessOptimist]

James, James, James, I'm so surprise at you. I thought you were one of the enlightened.

In the new world order heavy industry will make it possible for all the people to have whatever it desires in a free, global marketplace.

Worrying about country of origin so...so...so...CAPITALIST.

Oops, guess I'd better move over to Beltway

Burro, please, don't even THINK that.

Me a millionaire.

First time I can think of you've openly admitted that.

That's got a good ring to it --- so I'll close on that

When I was living in Hawaii several years ago, I went to Best Buy and purchased a cheap HDTV 24-incher (house brand?) for my bedroom. It came with sub-channels, i.e. 90-1, 90-2, etc. NBC, CBS, ABC and others had sub-channels. TV was donated to charity when I moved.

Last year I bought a 32-incher from Costco. Broadcasters here don't carry subchannels. I don't know if broadcasters in other areas of the country use sub-channels. I'm going to replace the 27-inch 1994 year Sony fat tube TV I use in my garage now. Great picture and sound but uses too much electricity.

Might get me one of them 32 inchers this season. It is getting so some stores are damn near giving them away. Personally, I don't have much use for one except to maybe watch a ball game.

 

[JTH]

32" for the bedroom, 73" for the living room. Go big or go home

 

[tsptalk]

42" in the living room, 37" in the bedroom. I didn't want one that big for the BR, but I got a great deal.

I seen an LED 32" for about 350 at best buy. Nice picture.

I’ve been loyal to the Sony Brand for all of my HD’s, but that that new 55” Samsung LED looks awesome. It would make a perfect fit for my entertainment center. I think it sells for about 2K. Every time I see it on display I keep thinking, “Yes, you will be Mine someday”...
