I finally bought a TV

After 3.5+ years of watching TV on a giant silver CRT monstrosity (manufactured by the ever reputable Apex) purchased from my ex-landlady for $20, I decided that I'd had enough of seeing everything behind massive neon blotches and pretending to ignore the extremely loud click-whirr of the barely-functioning built-in DVD player. I hated the idea of spending a lot money on a TV, but it was time to face reality - I watch a lot of movies and follow a ton of shows, and it wouldn't be a ridiculous idea for me to invest in something better. I'd been shopping around for a while and after sifting through various cnet and consumer reviews managed I'd found a reason to disqualify every LCD on the market. Finally I broke down at 2 am Thursday night (Friday morning?), logged onto Amazon, and ordered the Samsung 40" because I think it looks pretty (and it fell close to within my budget range). I got rid of my old non-HD Tivo and replaced it with a DVR from the cable company, so I'm all set except for a DVD player and possibly speakers. Now if only I could figure out what to do with the 150lb broken tv!
