Mostly OT: Storm fried 3 out of 4 tvs!
Okay, I have been officially shoved into the modern age of televisions. Last Saturday night we had a storm that wasn't that bad, but it took out 3 out of 4 tvs--the old fashioned tube tvs. I took them to a repair shop, but he said they can't be fixed, they're either too damaged or he can't get parts. So, I have to get some new tvs.
The thrift stores around here don't sell old fashioned tvs anymore. I did pick 2 smaller tvs up at Cash Converters for a pretty good price, but their pricing for bigger tvs is not that good, especially when compared to the extended warranty plans the other stores offer on brand new tvs.
Any recommendations? It has to be 32", & I would like something with good sound, I don't plan on hooking up any speakers or soundbars up to it. I also want something reliable, that will last for some years. (I don't know how long the modern tvs last, someone told me they don't last as long as the older tvs.)
One of the main reasons I haven't upgraded to newer tvs is the setup with the cable box, etc. Right now, we can put the box on top of the tv. With the new tvs, that's not possible. So, I am having to trade in our old boxes for new boxes. I still don't know where I might fit the dvd/vcr, etc. as most of the new tvs have the 2 legs that they stand on. I've seen very few with the pedestal type stand that might work with a little monitor shelf. I think I am going to have to buy some more monitor shelves from Amazon.
Thanks for any advice anyone can give me. BTW, the tv I use to exercise with is still going strong! Woo hoo!
