were getting read to paint are bedroom tomorrow.
today i cleared it out. and i went to move are 27 inch old picture tube flat screen tank .the wife saids -you just carry that out to the curb. i was not expecting to hear this at all . she said your getting to old to be hauling that heavy thing around. so looks like we be going out to buy a new flat panel TV for are bedroom it be around a 32-36 inch but i be happy with either . anyway i took it to the curb and taped the remote to it .the wife made a sign up on her own that reads WORKS . i really dint expect anyone to pick it up .even the salvation army wont except old picture tube type TV around here for donation any more i have been told by others.

Goodwill still takes old TVs, monitors, PCs.

...but yeah, otherwise it's funny that no one wants a perfectly good, working older TV anymore even if it's free. I'm amazed that there are still a few of those TV repair shops still around because who spends money fixing older TVs anymore?

I remember back in the 70's, early 80s when you'd get a second hand 25" console TV with tubes, thinking it was something great and you'ld have to go to a TV repair place to test, buy new tubes so that you'd (hopefully) get a good picture back, assuming the contacts on the channel changer switch weren't too bad....often fixed by smacking the TV LOL.

get one of the new OLED 55" displays coming out...4mm thick and 16lbs.

sounds like an early valentine's present for u

One of the few tech purchases my wife was ever 100% behind was flat screens. Enough that I got one for both the living room & the bedroom.

went today and got a RCA 32 inch LCD with built in dvd and 4 HDMI . not something i would normally do . buy anything thats all in one . but the picture was the nices I looked at .also the price was fair to . $289.99 plus tax out the door less 4 % cash back by using Ebates. went looked at the unit came back order online 2 hours later picked it up back at the store . im also only 2 blocks from the shop so it was worth the return trip .wife had me going other shops in the time it took to get my email the order was ready for pick up .
i sure do like Ebates those check 4 times a year do add up . and it works for most the places I deal with online and brick and morter. i have also found they dont sell your email info .

cool , ~ enjoy!
