While down in Napa at my sister's house taking care of my mother, I got to see a real TV. Greg and I have always had little TV's and it seems that lately with this latest birthday it is getting harder to see our TV. Our TV sits behind closed doors above our fireplace and is not very big. So, we not only have to wear glasses to see it, but because of the small size of our family room our couch is too close to the screen and we have to tip our heads back to watch the screen. Resulting in neck aches by the end of the shows.
The prospect of purchasing a new TV is daunting because the technology has changed so much...it is no longer a TV, it is a theater system. You no longer just can watch your basic channels but you can get the internet.
My conclusion is that purchasing the TV is the easy part but setting it up and getting all the plugs in the right place...now that is entirely different. The last time we had to hook up a TV and VCR...I mean CD player...we almost came to blows.
Since we have come to the descision that this will be our joint Christmas present it may be better if we look for a TV that comes with a person who will hook everything up, so Christmas Day will be a happy one!
