Flat Screen TVs

[Taggart]

Is anybody else here still watching an old bulky TV instead of a newer flat screen TV?

I have a flat screen computer monitor that's also a TV, but the other TVs in the place are the old kind and they're still hanging in there.

I'm looking forward to getting a larger flat screen model, but we'll also have to change the home entertainment stand as well because of the different size of the TVs.

Right now, we are perfectly happy with our "old" television and won't purchase another screen until we are ready to tie in computers with the screen. By then, the technology should be much less expensive,

I have always thought it unwise to run out and get the newest technology. It seems to start out terribly over priced.

I don't think I will get a flat screen for a long time yet. I remember when calculators first came out and were really expensive, after a while, they were dirt cheap.

I think the same thing will happen with flat screens.

We don't have any flat screens either. The older ones still work perfectly fine and although they might be a little bulkier, they fit fine for where we have them, so no need in spending the extra money on new ones just yet.

We haven't yet made the move to a flat screen tv. Our faithful old Sharp still does the job for us, it works fine, we're still, frankly, blown away that the thing offers us stereo sound

That reminds me of the first CD player I saw back in 83. The price was $1,500!

Now you can get a DVD player for $30.

Yes... and remember how horribly expensive VHS movies were when they first came out? I remember seeing them for like $70 and $80 and wondering how on earth anyone could justify buying a VCR.

I was still watching a big old bulky one that we bought more than 10 years ago... probably more than 15 UNTIL three weeks ago. It gave up the ghost and there isn't an old model to be found anymore, so I have a flat screen now as the main TV.

I’m still watching on an old bulky TV. I have n choice since I don’t have the money to buy those flat screens TV.

I think you're lucky that it still works then. Ours started acting as if it was on its last breath about 6 or 7 years ago but valiantly hung on this long.
