...of my 27" Toshiba TV, the one I bought in 2002.
Being in the process of moving, I brought up my bed and the TV today. When I brought in the TV, I set it on the couch, thinking it was far enough back. Then I left the room and heard a crash. The TV had rolled off the couch and landed upside-down on the floor.
When I plugged it in, the power light would come on but the tube wouldn't, and I couldn't turn it off without unplugging it.
So to console myself, I replaced it with this. I'd hoped to wait a little while to upgrade, but since the Toshiba quit working I needed something new, and if you ask me, at this point in time it's stupid to buy a big TV unless it's HD-ready now, given how soon we'll be HD-only, how much the price has come down and how long a TV is expected to last.
Now the crappy part is figuring out how to get rid of the old TV. I heard the local landfill will accept one per month per person... or maybe I'll just set it on the sidewalk and see if anyone takes it.
