Grandma's 65 inch TV died yesterday. It was like a member of the family. ( At least her family, my 70 inch is doing just fine )

She bought that 65 incher as a display, at the best possible price, at least a decade ago.

Now we need to know; 75 inch Samsung=$2000, 80 inch Sharp=$2600, Vizio 3-D on sale=$3000. Any input?

How's your eyesight?

Dave, that's a question that you didn't want to ask. Every member of my immediate family has had lasik surgery. No more contacts.

The last eye exam that I took PJ to, I asked the doctor to check me out as well. This is what he said: "I used to test pilots for the Air Force."

Here's the good news; You have better vision than 90% of the pilots flying airplanes today!

Now the bad news; As you grow older and you begin to develop normal vision like the rest of us, and you will think that you've gone blind.

I'm in that "I think that I've gone blind" stage right now. Of course, when I'm driving, and I say, " Did you just see that hawk flying by with that red squirrel?" Everybody says, "What hawk?"

Best advice I can give on buying a TV is don't!
Only reason we even have one in the house is for dvd's.
Haven't watched a TV program in more years than I can recall. When we gave up on the satellite TV years ago we never mentioned it to the kids. It was over two months before they even noticed.

mtncat, I think it's wonderful that you can do it! I'm cut from a different piece of cloth. One of my customers summed it up perfectly today.

What he said was that he really enjoys watching TV before he goes to sleep for the night. And so do my wife and I.

Instead of thinking of business, family, customers, etc., we go to to sleep thinking about murder, mayhem, and all the rest of the great things that make up a hit TV program nowadays. ( Not to mention America's Funniest Home Videos )

I bought a new one and the picture is so true it seems fake...........

Samsung has proven itself to me. Have a Vizeo TV now (because my brother moved in with me last year and he couldn't stand not having a tv), I hate the thing. Poor quality and the built in DVD player already acts up.

I like my Vizio 60" its just an hd smart tv not 3d though.

Well..Red Green don't have murder; mayhem, it has in spades!

The new TV shopping is finally over. We ended up with the Vizio 3-D and I'm kind of glad we did. My wife puts more sweat into our business than anyone and she should have a better TV than I do. ( In the meantime, I'll have to be satisfied with my scrawny 70 incher ) Beside that, if we had to pay a babysitter to keep the little grandkids as mesmerized as that TV will, it would cost four times as much.

P.S. I would like you guys to do a test for me. If you normally have trouble falling asleep, ( I've been there often ) do me a favor. Watch a TV show right before your normal sack time, ( preferably a show that you don't hate ) and then do this for a week and tell me if you slept better or worse. ( I know what you're thinking. Nothing X rated. This is a test )

I have never seen this in print and until one of my customers mentioned it, ( I have previously posted this ) I would have thought this was a bunch of malarkey, but in my own experience, I think this idea might have some validity. Let me know!
