A few days ago I went up to the bedroom to watch a DVD and when I turned on the TV it made a noise that sounded something like "BWAAAAAAAPPPPP!!!" Not cool. So after several days of discussion and several stores worth of TV shopping, Becky and I finally made a decision. Since we hadn't done our Christmas shopping for each other yet, we decided to splurge a little and get an HDTV as a joint Christmas gift and replace the bedroom TV. It was a little more than we had been planning to spend on gifts for each other, but my friend Robert works at Best Buy and was able to get us a deal on a nice looking 32" model (the biggest that would fit in the space that we have). I picked it up today and hooked everything up this afternoon:
I don't really know much about HDTVs...I've been trying to do a little bit of research in the last few days since we've been looking at the possibility of getting one. My big hope is that this one doesn't break down. It came with a 1 year warranty and Becky, being the smart person that she is, suggested putting it on the Cap1 Mastercard which doubles any manufacturer's warranty, so we have it covered for 2 years. Hopefully we won't need to use it.
The picture looks good enough to me...I'm definitely not an HDTV snob at this point and the picture quality looks better than what we had, so I'm happy with it...it's an upgrade. The Wii also looks nice on it, so that's cool :) I picked up a "rabbit ears" antenna that is supposed to pick up over-the-air HD signal for the local channels, but so far it hasn't picked up anything. I'll play around with it a little more...it was just a $10 job, and isn't powered, so I might have to return it and get the $15 plug in variety instead.
So far, I'm pretty pleased...I hope Becky likes it.Current Mood:  excited Current Music: 1st and 10 |
