Are you in the all-flat-panel club ?

[sv2007]

There are no more CRT TVs or monitors in my house !

Yesterday, I replaced the last tube TV in my living room with an LCD display. Things look so sleek and freed up so much space too.

I only had 3 CRT sets to replace, but it took 4 years: 1 monitor in the office was the first to go, 1 TV in the guest room was replaced last year, and lastly the living room TV.

On a more serious note, I do have a 21" Quasar (Panasonic) set that was top of the line when I bought it. In 1985. Cost a princely $600 back then. Multiple inputs and the whole nine yards.

I knew I had become my father when I overheard myself tell my wife something along the lines of that I paid good money for that set, and it still worked just fine, dammit.

It is still in the MBR, and I've vowed not to replace it until it fries. Though I might have to cave on that, since there is a growing chance that either it or me will have an unfortunate accident if I don't.

We have a shop here in Alameda the has a few functioning Black and white old tubers.

reminds me of the hooplaah in our neighborhood when the Woods Family got a color tv.

I should sell my heavy ass tube tv on craigslist for $20 or something while it is still worth enough for someone to carry it away for me.

At my house we have a nice warm fire in the fireplace and sit around the radio.

I couldn't even get rid on my 250lb 36" Sony Wega through CL. When I bought a new washer I had a delivery guy take it away.

 

[Cycle61]

Yes.

27" monitor on my computer and....

that's it.

I got rid of my Sony Wega 32" flat screen tube last month. I've had a LCD/LED for a while now, but I held on to that Sony because it had such a nice picture. Problem was I never watched it. I gave it to someone who was using a smaller CRT, along with the stand it was designed for. I also recently gave away my sound system (Sony) I purchased when I got the Sony. There was some serious $$$ tied up in that, but the system is outdated and I need to game on a wide screen. Now I have a nice 42" flat with a sound bar/sub woofer, and all my gaming systems (along with the bluray player) fit on the stand I bought for the flat panel. And it all fits in a way smaller space than the old system. One TV is enough for me though.

Wega TVs are insanely heavy, like hernia inducing heavy.

I never replace a TV before it dies...actually, that pretty much goes for everything I own except bikes.

Still waiting for this monster to die before I upgrade; but it just won't die!

At least the HD picture is not bad as I had it professionally calibrated twice in its lifetime, (a necessity for these rptv's back in the day):

Flat panel TV? I have a projector, 100 inches of awesome.

 

[SteelerFanatic]

I still have a DLP tv. Otherwise it's LCD and plasma

That's what I was waiting for too, but right now there's a $50 rebate for getting an LCD LED TV (from the power co). This promoted me to switch since I doubt my CRT is worth even $50, so the financials worked out. Unfortunately, I lost the rebate form. But I'm happy with the LCD TV.
