OT - Plasma TV question

It sucks to move though since it weighs around 200 lbs and the weight is
not
at a point that makes it easy for one person to easily carry... It's more
like pick it up and have someone else move the entertainment center
underneath it...

We have an old (1987) JVC color TV that fits that description. I pick it
up, and everything else gets moved/wired/unplugged/whatever while I stand
their straining, trying not to pop a blood vessel. Danged thing must weigh
200 pounds and surely it's made out of lead -- but it still looks as good
today as it did the day we bought it.

Too bad it's only 27 inches, cuz otherwise it's still great.

Huh; mine turns 20 this year, some to think of it. And it's the first
and only TV I've ever owned in my life (I'm 51 now).

I have a 32" that I bought ~4 years ago, but I still have one of the two
that my wife and I bought during our first couple of years of marriage
so I know it is at least 20 years old. The first one we bought 23 years
ago died a few years back. Amazing how long those old CRT sets lasted.
Hopefully, the new flat panels will be similar.

I'll have a large screen HDTV before year-end, but I'm still
contemplating the options. I like the idea of a projection system, but
they still don't have the brightness and clarity of some of the
projection and flat panel TVs. Decisions, decisions...

Yeah, I still have an old 15" TV (mechanical tuner type) that I bought
around 1983 and it probably still has as good of a picture as it did when
new... Then again, since it doesn't get used hardly at all, that might be
why it lasts so long... I used to leave it in my hangar so that I could have
some background noise for when I was working on my plane...

Here's one screen review that is fairly thorough and not based on the
marketing specs provided by most manufacturers.

Hello & Welcome,

Well, I know where I *won't* be buying any sort of anything, flat panel TV
or otherwise.

Stupid spammers.
