TV Drama

Well, it finally happened...our TV died on us yesterday. It came on in the morning but later in the day I went to turn it on and nothing. It just quit on us because there were no signs that it was struggling at all and it wasn't even that old. Craig tried everything to revive it but it was too late. This is so NOT GOOD!! So now we have a decision to make. Do we go with the BIG DADDY TV that Craig has been eyeing for awhile (52 inch LCD) along with a hefty price tag or get something smaller for now? My thought is that we should go ahead and get the TV we really want since we have to fork out money for one anyway. But my money-conscious husband who I love dearly went with the more affordable option - a 37 inch LCD TV. Once we moved the old 37 inch TV out of the entertainment center, Craig spent the next 1 1/2 hours getting the new TV set up and hooked up to all the other electronic equipment. Then the unthinkable happened. For some reason, Craig decided to plug the old TV into another outlet just to see if anything happens. What happened was that it came back to life!! Who knows why it didn't work earlier but now it's back up and running with no problems. Okay...what the crap!! Now what do we do? We have yet to come to a decision.

Hmmm...I'd return it. Then, when your TV dies for real, you can get the BIG one. TVs are supposed to last pretty long anyways...we got ours around the same time as you guys I think & I hope ours keeps working!

Hey...I saw Costco has a $300 off coupon for 37 inch TVs this week (online only). You might want to check it out.

Bart thinks you should return it & go for the 52 later when it really goes out.
