Today, the flatscreen Samsung TV we've had in our TV room for six years decided it was done. We've been thinking about saving up for a new TV anyway, but this came a little sooner than expected. However, remember that hand me down TV I got from my parents a few months ago? Well it has now migrated downstairs until we have the funds for a new TV, so crisis averted.
As a movie geek, I'm bummed to lose the high def picture and some screen size, but at the end of the day it's just a TV. Shame on me for being a spoiled materialistic American consumer. I can always watch DVDs on my computer for pete's sake. And would it really kill me if I couldn't even do that? Get over it, Paeter! There's more to life.
Still, it does look funny to have a smaller TV in an entertainment center obviously designed for a larger one, with an extension cord coming out of the front to connect it to a different outlet. It sure isn't pretty, but I can still watch "Battlestar" on it!

That is aweseme! I think our main tv downstairs is a 10 or 12". We decided to give back the one my parents gave us b/c theirs crapped out on them. So we can relate.
