So My 60" HDTV......
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? >:( :-

what brand t.v. do you have the **CENSORED** after 6 years? projection tvs should last closer to 10.

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?
