So My 60" HDTV......

(1/11) > >>

rayfsc07:
Crapped the bed today.  I got home from Atlanta and turn on my TV to catch the game on my DVR, and my TV is toast.  So basically I need to replace it, any suggestions on where to get the best deal, what kind to get, etc?  While I know a lot about computers, I lack a lot of knowledge when it comes to TV's.  My old TV is big and bulky, it's a projection TV 60" HDTV (I've had it about 6 years or so), and I want to move to something smaller (not necessarily screen size, but physical size) now.  Hell, I don't even know what I am going to do with this big ass thing now......

Any ideas?   >:( :-

It's an RCA, which I know is a POS.  But it was GIVEN to me a few years ago so I am not really complaining.  I guess I should clarify I haven't had it 6 years but on the back it says August 2001, so I assume it is nearly 6 years old.  Hell, it may even be able to be fixed but I don't know.  A friend of mine said the tube is shot and it's a ton to fix and better off just buying a new one.  I had been wanting to get something more space efficient anyway so now seems like the time to just get rid of it and get something new.

I do know that I want an LCD or Plasma type, and definitely something SMALL in physical size.  The simple fact that I now have to load this thing up and figure out how to dump it sucks ass.  Is there some sort of recycling program for these damn things?
