    Default curious tv question

    How many here own plasma or projection tv's? If not, how big is your biggest tv? and do you plan on purchasing a plasma tv soon?

    We own a 42" flat screen plasma, HDTV ready television.

    We used to have a 27" television so this was a huge difference or at least to us it was. We love it. I don't know how we will ever downgrade to anything smaller.

    We have had our TV for about 5 years now.
    Just a regular old 27"inches TV

    We don't watch TV much, and ours still works.
    We'll probably keep this TV until it doesn't work anymore.

    25 inch in the family room. That's as large as our entertainment center will hold, so we'll stay at that size. It has cable with DVR and a DVD/video cassette player.

    The tv in our bedroom is 13" and we use rabbit ears.

    We'll change them out when they croak.

    Regular 8 year old 27" tv in the living room. Regular 6 year old 19" tv in our bedroom. Regular OLD tv in the basement. Maybe 20 years old? Not upgrading until the 27" breaks.

    I think our largest TV is 27 inches. Maybe it's 32. Not sure. We didn't purchase it. My parents brought it over a few years ago as a gift. My dad thought we needed a bigger TV.

    We have no plans to purchase a larger TV or a plasma. TV just isn't that important to us right now. There are so many other things we'd rather spend our money on.

    I think our main one is 27" or maybe 32"? It's in the family room off the kitchen. A 20" in our bedroom and an ancient 19" up in my sewing/craft room. I don't get the whole *huge* TV thing.....just not important to us, I guess.

    We sold our 36" Sony Trinitron in Oct 2004 and haven't looked back. No TV at all here.

    DH is thinking maybe when we get a house we'll get one. He wants an LCD HDTV and they're still incredibly expensive.

    We have a plain ole regular tv - 25 ". Don't plan on getting anything else. If it dies, we'd get similar model.
