Who doesn't have a HDTV? - Buzz - 10-20-2007
With the ballyhooing over HDTV, big ones, huge ones, LCD, plasma, what-have-you popping up on the forum here... who doesn't have a real HDTV, and lives with a good old fashioned regular TV? We have two 20" TV's from the late 80's/early 90's, two mid 90's 27"er's, another 27" and a 32" from the turn of the century. 3 JVC's, 2 Panasonic's and a Toshiba, nothing high-end, except maybe sorta one of the Panasonics w/ a bunch of inputs/features. The 20"er's are for Baby Buzz's video games and not hooked up to cable/satellite/antenna. No hurry to go HD w/ TV, though the computers are available, albeit kinda small compared to the wall sized units everyone talks about. So what type of viewers are in the majority these days?... trying to get a handle on how long we can hold out for... vote early & often.

Pana 25" CRT here. Big feature over the only other set I have ever owned: stereo speakers!

This house has 2 x 27" JVC CRTs and 4 x 13" Panasonic. The Panasonic are video preview monitors that I can't seem to talk myself into letting go of...

Yup, we are still hanging onto our LDTVs: a 14" and a 20". Bet yet, we don't even have cable TV!

we didnt until a month or so ago, but my 12 year old sony CRT went "pop" and that was that
nice (not no name crap) 32" CRTs were just as much $$ as a so-so 32" LCD, so we went with it

Two (2) HDHomeRuns for a total of four (4) networked HD tuners, plus two (2) Pinnacle Mac HD Sticks.
The rest of my Mac TV tuners just do SD.
But if you must know, four (4) Plextors.

Our main TV is a 1997 35" Toshiba CN35F95 that has never seen a repairman. Also have a 27" Panasonic and a 19" and 13", all crt's.
But I'm looking seriously at Costco's 50" plasma Panasonic TH-50PC77U, which is the same model as the TH-50-PX77U from other stores. Still trying to figure out if I can accept the 500 watts of power it requires.....

3- 27 inch crt models here, one is starting to go, heaven only knows how old they are.
We are shopping LCD models now, I love the looks of the 40 inch Sony Bravia at Costco.
