Evening Nate. John, not to bad here either. Had to go to wally's and pickup a new TV and hook it up. These new TVs are a heck of a lot lighter than the old ones.

Hard to believe how light they are in comparison George. I've got a 32" LCD that's just about light enough to pick up with one hand.

That's what we picked up, John. Weighs about 25 pounds. That 27 incher we moved to the bedroom, felt like it weighed 100 pounds. The new DVD player/recorder wouldn't hook up to the old TV without getting a bunch of adaptors.

Huge difference. The older TVs we had were a real pain in the neck when it came to hooking up anything at all. The new ones are just basically plug and play.

THAT would be awesome. If I get another, it will be no less than one of the 55" models. And, I've already got my wall picked out to hang it on.

According to the specs, that sucker is 72" wide x 48" high.... now that is huge. My one BIL just replaced his old 55" LCD with a 62" LED LCD that is actually smaller in overall size, plus it is lighter.

John, we have a 47" in our living room right now and the house has an open floor plan. I can sit at the dinning room table which is about 20' away from the tv and be able to see very tiny text with no issues.

Y'all some funny beeches.

Just had time to catch up before hitting the racks. Some new faces here today huh? Charlie likes 'em young and new...fresh like.








Pretty quiet day in the stand today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Glad to see the banter carrying on without me...and at my expense like it should be! Keep it up and catch ya sometime tomorrow!

That's what I'm looking at Neil. Ours isn't an open floorplan but my recliner is about 15 feet from the wall I'd use. Or, I could just put it in the bedroom on the wall. Heck, I'll just take lazy TV viewing to a new high and put it on the ceiling over the bed.
