Big telly in the lounge and nothing in the fridge for the kids.
My telly in the lounge, is big, but not in the modern sense. It's only big because it's a CRT.
I'm trying to think how long I've had it, now, it's a Panasonic 32" flat / widescreen SD thing with a DD and dts decoder built in. I got it in a sale, years back, and I'll replace it when either it breaks, or I'm sick and tired of how big and heavy it is. Yes it's not HD, and I've got more modern TVs in other rooms, but that's the biggest screen in the house.
Truth be told, I don't watch that much TV, so I'm happy with it until it fails. I'll have got my money's worth out of it, and even then I don't want a TV much bigger than that on that tearful day when I have to bid it farewell, 'cos it's in an alcove, and I don't want the room dominated by something so typically vacuous as a TV.
Plus I'm not down with this bandwagon of huge TV displays, anyway.
