Perfect!

In about 15 years or so I'll be able to pick one up for a pittance! I just replaced my 1985ish 20" TV (with dials on the front and a separate cable converter) with a new 27" thanks to a great Boxing Day sale! It's nothing fancy, analog, not a true flat screen, but for the amount of TV I watch it might even have bordered on a splurge. The old TV was starting to have some problems though. I have to admit, DVDs through an s-video connection look pretty great! 27 inches, for me, is a pretty big screen.

I've always had good sound, so I guess for the home theatre experience I'll just have to sit close!

Seems that you lost your way while trolling on FR. This is definitely the WRONG thread for your eyes, ears and taste. Perhaps you'll appreciate the finer things in your next life. LOL

Don't worry, you can laugh at everyone in 5 years when you're buying an OLED display for 1/5 of the price of the LCD systems.

Myself, I still watch the same TV that we had when I was in high school. We have a 1982 Zenith 25" that is still going strong. It is an old "System 3" chassis that came out in the late 1970's. I remember watching everything from Ronald Reagan's Evil Empire and SDI speech to 9-11 and beyond on it. CRT is showing its age al ittle but the picutre is still as magnificent as when we first got it. I also still have our first color TV, a 1970/71 23" Zenith that I'd like to fix someday. One interesting thing on that TV, you have vacuum tubes, transistors, and early computer chips existing all at once. B-)

I remember vaguely when for color TV's, 23" screens were the biggest until the 25" screens came out. My aunt still used her old 1962? RCA color TV until a couple of years ago, it was one of the old round 21" RCA tube models that came out in the mid 1950's and lasted until the mid 1960's.
