Got our new 51" TV delivered today.    It is so amazing compared to the old 32" we had before.     The only thing we need to do is have Comcast come over to put in an HD comcast box as the reception (which looks good now) will be better when the HD box is put it.   Kitties are very curious about this big new "thing" in the house, but as with cats the curiosity soon goes away after thorough inspection.   Looking forward to relaxing with the new TV.  This was our Valentines gift to ourselves!

Congratulations! We're waiting for our 8-year-old TV to go before getting one that big, but it gets so little use it might last another 8 years.:lol3:

Cool! I would love a nice big HDTV like that! We're waiting for our old one to go too before getting a flatscreen.

Congrats, Lana! Enjoy!

We keep looking.....and then we keep walking out of the store.
 Although the tv in the living room is pretty much on its last legs, Rick thinks. I hope it will make it through this year, but I have my doubts.

Pam, the new TV and now hooked up to the Comcast HD cable box is incredible.      The picture makes you feel like you are right there!     We just love it and it's the best investment we could have made.    But of course we're TV addicts so it really paid for us to get the new set - we never go to the movies.   And the new TV stand is just beautiful - a really nice piece of furniture.    We moved our old entertainemnt unit (looks like a armoire  (sp?)  into the living room.  We had an etagere (kind of a curio cabinet with glass shelves) that we had forever, gave that to a young couple we met at our gym and also gave them 2 bar stools that we never used but just took up space.    The TV we got is a 51" Samsung and even the Comcast installer said it's a great TV.     We took out the extended warranty package for 5 years.  I know a lot of people say it's a waste of money but we just feel more comfortable with it.  Especially because of power surges that we get here in Florida in the summertime --- now we're covered for any event - they give you a brand new TV or reimburse the cost of the TV.

Ooo Congrats!  We got one a few years ago.  At first it felt like I needed to sit in the foyer to watch TV comfortably! 
  Both that TV and the small one we have in our kitchen are Samsungs and they've been great so far!  I never thought I'd cave to get a TV in the kitchen; but we use it a lot.  Especially in the mornings.  And I love having it if I'm doing a lot of baking.  Keeps me company when I'm up to the wee hours with that.
