[quote=patientrenter]I just bought my first TV in a while. I had a 1984 rotary knob 13″ TV until 2001 or so. When I started renting DVDs, I upgraded to a Sony Trinitron 27″ flat screen. I threw it out last year, just before I moved across country. Haven’t had a TV since then.
The one I just purchased is a 65″ Plasma (Panasonic TH-65PZ850U, $4800 online incl tax and delivery). Should be good for watching movies. Of course, all the ancient DVD and sound equipment I have may not even work with this new thingy. For people who hardly ever buy things, it’s shocking to see how far behind we can get in the technological knowledge required to make an informed purchase of a common consumer good.[/quote]
Old DVD players are good for bedrooms or smaller tvs. Old stereo equipment is useless if it doesnt have optical outputs. Luckily, you can pickup a new stereo receiver for cheap.
