The other was a whole new board, and would have cost about 20% of the new price, and about half of the replacement cost.<br /><br />We don't watch TV at all, just shows and movies via DVD. I'm willing to explore the on line world.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-65347931366433352092013-01-05T23:32:32.598-07:002013-01-05T23:32:32.598-07:00The sickness has invaded our house too.

We had 1 issue covered under warranty. I'm hoping it lasts for another 10 years. We only have 1 TV- once we finish te basement we will put one down there too. We aren't big TV watchers though.

Then I realized there have been times when Linda has been watching something on the main one, and I'm watching something else on one of the computers. We toured a show home once where every room had a TV and a web cam. The idea was an upgrade to the intercom system. Every room. Think about that for a moment. In my world, a house that needs an intercom is too big.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-16438415235787695842013-01-05T08:58:31.338-07:002013-01-05T08:58:31.338-07:00We have a few tvs in our house now, in various loc...We have a few tvs in our house now, in various locations. There was a time I could never see a good reason to have more then one. Usually for electronics, we check out a bunch of reviews and then either wait for what we want to go on sale, or get one that has good reviews that is already on sale.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07667441608820485935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-34492018198479195002013-01-05T07:27:24.405-07:002013-01-05T07:27:24.405-07:00When my grandma died we were cleaning out her room...When my grandma died we were cleaning out her room at the nursing home. My uncle picks up this small TV, 12 or 14 inches and tells me my dad had given this to her when she moved into the home, so it was mine now, he guessed, since my dad had died previously. At this time computer monitors were bigger. There's a fun story about buying a VCR player that goes with it. There are days I love tormenting salespeople.<br /><br />We figure this plasma could go on forever if left there. It's just as likely that if we decided to move it downstairs that we would stress something and it wouldn't start in the new location. Besides, I already have an old computer to watch DVD's on while I do spin training.<br /><br />This morning is bad. But I think once I'm vertical a little while I'll start to feel better.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-42703131514181624512013-01-05T07:18:53.334-07:002013-01-05T07:18:53.334-07:00There used to be Sony stores in the malls, but I h...There used to be Sony stores in the malls, but I haven't seen one for a while. Not that I look around much when I'm in hell. I've no plans to go for 3D. I'm pretty sure that would give me a headache. <br /><br />Part of the problem is that you can't tell who made it from the label on the front. Our current TV says Zenith, a respected name from the dark ages of electronics, i.e., my childhood, but in fact LG owns the brand and made the TV.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-25521680216202593242013-01-05T05:50:14.986-07:002013-01-05T05:50:14.986-07:00A disposable society, Keith!

It astounds me, but I won't go there today ;) We've had our plasma for almost 10 years (getting worried) - it replaced the 21" Sears 1989 model that was still going strong, but we chose not to move it when we came out east. Good luck with the TV shopping (no advice here - I rely on The Husband for those kind of purchases). Oh, have you considered Kijiji if you're thinking used?<br /><br />And feel better soon :)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-50335133536927368592013-01-04T18:02:22.162-07:002013-01-04T18:02:22.162-07:00We've had Sony products and like them immensel...We've had Sony products and like them immensely... bought our first flatscreen 3 1/2 yrs ago and it's still going strong in the office... of course my husband had to upgrade to a 3D TV (I have no idea why since we have yet to actually watch it in 3D mode... seriously, isn't that what outdoors is for?). But yeah, Sony. Good product so far. From Future Shop (My techie husband is a loyal customer unfortunately)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
