Wow, I thought our 27” CRT Sony was heavy (must have been close to 100 pounds). That Toshiba weighs like a small car. We didn’t go that big because we had an old-fashioned TV cabinet armoire style with doors to cover the TV and side units with shelves and closed door lowers for electronics. It looked real nice in the living room. Then I bought a low TV stand with electronics and the big, honking plasma on top of it. The living room doesn’t look anywhere near as nice as it used to.

I marvel when I walk through Target or Best Buy or Walmart and see these incredible 65 inch TVs at almost give-away prices. Hard to believe how far we’ve come with this tech.

I remember 20 or more years ago when all the hubbub started about the coming “flat screen TVs.” It always seemed to be years away, but here we are.

Thank goodness for streaming services because I can watch what I want when I want it. I never watch any network tv at all.
