I agree.... Though I have two tvs one is 20 years old and the other 15 and neither is larger than 26”. But guess what Santa’s bringing me this year? The actual drive is to open up space in the house and eliminate the cabinet the current TV sets in.

Last year, after years of seeing others with the flat screens, We finally got rid of the 36” CRT TV we had.
Yeah, we too had an extra TV cabinet (now a kids closet), too small for the 52” we got.

Now its got internet, you can watch from computers, etc.
and 1080p resolution means movies look like ... movies. around $1000. The CRT TV I bought 12 years earlier cost around $600 or so.

Here’s the thing: That Sony CRT TV was perfectly servicable and is now ‘junk’ because of technology. What we have now can last 15 years probably (LEDs last a long time).

I guess I know what we will buy in 12 years. It will be something like this 84 inch.

The electronics companies have to keep making something better or they wont have anything to sell.
