I've got a confession to make.
In this age of surround sound LED-backlit 50" 1080p TVs, well, I just don't get it. In my last place I had a 40" HDTV with my flatmates; here I have a 20" CRT. And I don't really see the difference; I actually prefer the CRT a bit because it doesn't dominate the room as much. Obviously, I can, if I put my mind to it, see that a HDTV looks better than an SD signal on a CRT, but if whatever I'm watching is any good I'll stop noticing the difference within a few seconds, and if whatever I'm watching is not good, well, then, why am I watching it?
But yes, for me, little CRT in the corner beats big wall-dominating flatscreen. This apparently makes me very unusual; you can barely buy a <30" TV these days...
Now, computer monitors, on the other hand... I'm having dangerous urges to buy a 27" iMac for the screen...
We have not had a TV for 5 years (but we do have a big old projector) and have been happy with that.
ReplyDeleteThe 27inch iMac... If you actually don't want to buy one, don't get trapped in the same room as one. My brother has one - very purdy.
