With the 1st weekend of football quickly approaching, I sure would have enjoyed that TV but my trusty old 32" will do just fine (or at least that is what I keep telling myself, lol). Moving from a 13" to a 32" must make you feel like you are at the movie theater! :) Kim, thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.

I'm the football nut in my family and there are times... :) Still, I remember when we finally broke down to buy our 32" five years ago. Until then, we'd been watching a 13" - yes, 13" - set that I'd bought at Ames in the late 80s. Can't imagine what that would look like now. Good for you for avoiding temptation.

Now I feel like I am living in the lap of luxury with my 32" Sony. :) Lol, thanks! Now I feel like I am living in the lap of luxury with my 32″ Sony. :)

We have a small HDTV and the picture is somewhat disappointing when viewing a non-HD channel. The problem is that most sporting events are broadcast in HD and it looks amazing! The way that I figure it is that the longer that I wait to make a purchase like this, the more I will be able to afford as prices continue to come down and the technology improves. Thanks!

I too was really impressed by your strength of will. Like you, we have a perfectly functioning, smallish screen TV and my husband (a major gadget fan) was always saying how much he wanted a big HD screen. I felt so mean for saying no, but there are always more important - and truly necessary - things to spend that kind of money on. And, in fact, when he read up more on these vast flat screen TVs he found many of them don't give as good a picture as you might think and people often seem quite diappointed with them. So now he's happy to wait until we're better off and the technology improves. Meanwhile, there's no huge debt sitting on a credit card needing paid off. Greetings from across the Atlantic.

After writing the post, I had the thought that maybe I should have bought it and then sold it on eBay or something. I think I'll wait until the 70" TVs are more affordable. :) Thanks.

I have generally found that items like 46"" HDTVs look better in the store than in my house. I don't have one either:-) I applaud your choice.
