So I finally decided to upgrade my 9 year old Sony Trin (about time, I know). First off, please note that this is not the last TV I'm planning on buying. This one only needs to last at most 5 years. That said, price, as opposed to conenctions, features, etc, was the deciding factor more than anything. I picked up a Vizio 32" LCD for $700. After getting the kids to bed, I spent the next few hours re-running all of the cables (before, all of the video went to the receiver and then one RCA to the TV as that was all I had to use :grumpy: ) and callibrating the TV. Now all of the video goes to the TV and all audio to the receiver, like it should. Enough talk. Now on to the pictures.

Obviously, this is the old TV. No, it doesn't look nearly that bad. I just didn't feel like setting up the tripod and camera settings. The LCD looks a lot better than this in person, also:

Both TV's next to each other:



I was a bit sceptical about buying a Vizio, but so far am very happy with it. The Mets - Cards game look outstanding last night. :)

With a 2 1/2 year old and a 9 month old around, TV upgrades weren't very high on the list of priorities.
 
The newest TV in my house is a 11 month ol Insignia 24 CRT. There is plasma in our future, despite the small 2 year old sister I have ( so cute! )
 
You did it wrong. You should have used your 2-1/2 year-old to run the cables for you. That way, you wouldn't need to move any of the furniture around. :D
 
Surprisingly, I didn't have to move any furniture. I'm still not quite sure how I pulled that one off.
