You want a large 32” flat screen TV/monitor. The main signal you will be using is the VGA adapter so you can connect it to your computer. You will begin to watch movies through your computer. You will create a new micro library in an external 2 tera bite hard drive. You will start ripping the main movie of your DVDs and copying your old VHS cassettes onto your external hard drive using software and hardware on your computer. This external hard drive is going to become your new video library so instead of having to keep shelves and boxes of DVDs and video cassettes, you will store all the videos on a single hard drive which is no bigger than one VHS cassette. You will be able to select your video file(s) from a list on the screen and you won’t have to go hunting for the actual box you use to store it in. The film will play from the hard drive through your computer on Windows Media Player through the VGA adapter to your 32” flat screen TV. There will be no commercials because you can edit them out with software on the computer. You will also watch other sources like Hulu or Youtube or Animefreak.tv over the internet on this new TV. You library of classics, Disney, documentaries, action adventure, sci-fi, cartoons, sitcoms, etc. will be accessible within a few mouse clicks instead of a trip across the living room. You’ll have so much material you could broadcast your own TV channel for days, weeks, or months before seeing a rerun. What brand of TV? ANYTHING EXCEPT EMERSON will do.
Please remember that ALL storage media will die one day. Do not rely on a single storage device or one day you will find you have lost everything. If you go this route, backup everything on a regular basis.
