What kind of television do you have. I have a 36 inch Flat screen. (I wonder if I will get flamed this time)

well lets see
i have a 27 inch that the inlaws gave me, one of those old floor models in a wooden case, it broke the other day
on top of THAT I have my 15 year old 19 inch with seperate speakers, it has some video problems

then i have a 13" in the bedroom, its about 5 years old and has a black band at the bottom of the screen, just enough to cut off the judges scores in the olypmics

i prefer tvs that i can pick up and move on my own

I have two 13" inch TVs in my room, along with a stereo, computer, VCR, and DVD player... :D

Some small, nameless/brandless (well... it probably has a name, but I don't know what it is) 13 inch TV. It's not much but I'm grateful for it. For many years, I had a 12 inch TV on which the power switch didn't work (no remote either). Once it was turned off, you could turn the switch on and off some 50 times before the TV would actually come on.

What's more, once it did come on, all you could see was blackness. Over a period of about 20 minutes, the blackness would slowly turn to blurry grays, to blurry and faded colours, to a proper picture. It was a complete piece of crap, but it was all I had.

Ah, the joys of living below the poverty line. :rolleyes:

This may sound incredibly stupid. But I will Post Pictures if you back don't belelive me.
I got this thing for free. After garage sale weekend or whatever they call it. This guy comes out and says " hey man I'm moving and my wife won't let me keep this TV ya want it?" I was like ok sure thinking it's a pile of crap.
Well he wheels out a 36inch TV from RCA. It's about 8 years old and it works great. It was a hellish experiance manvuring it into my room.
I wired up some old speakers I had lying around and it works great!
