So I went shopping...
Say hello to the newest member of my family. It’s a Sharp LCD television—a tiny little thing, with a 13 inch screen, but just right for my room.
I’ve been noticing lately that the old (and I do mean old) one’s screen had started looking fuzzy and everyone sounded as if they were talking with a mouth full of marbles. Turning the volume up didn’t help all that much and anyway, I can’t turn the volume up too loudly or I’d blast my neighbor out of her bed. I thought about headphones, but the old television didn’t have a jack for headphones.
So I went shopping tonight. And I really liked this little television. It’s a slim (no tube sticking out behind), enhanced definition tv, not high definition, but I wouldn’t get a high definition television unless it was a much larger one and I’m not prepared to spend that kind of money for something I don’t watch that much. My new little tv is compact and rather unobtrusive and my oh my, is the screen ever sharp. Nobody sounds like they’re talking with a mouth full of marbles, either. I can also plug headphones into it, which means I don’t have to worry a bit about disturbing my neighbor if I turn up the volume. And with the sleep timer on it, I think I’m in a little bit of tv heaven now.
Yeah, I’m pretty pleased with my new purchase. It’s kinda cute, isn’t it?
Cute tv. Enjoy. I really like that sleep timer on a bedroom tv.
I don’t have a DVD player in my room, so it doesn’t really matter. If I did, I might never go to sleep. ;) The large tv downstairs is the one with all the doodads attached to it. The one thing I do miss, though, is having TiVo on the upstairs tv. I am constantly reaching for the rewind button and I hate waiting for the commercials to end.

What I also want is ala carte television, while I’m wishing. Why can’t the cable and satellite companies offer basic plus add ons? I’d take basic local stations plus about 4 other stations and I’d be very content. As it is, my choices are either local stations or 160 stations and up depending on level of subscription.

The only thing about that size is, it’s really poor for DVD-watching. I have two that size; one in the kitchen (news while I cook) and one in my bedroom. The big HDTV one is in the family room, so if we decide to watch the DVD, that’s where we watch it (unless Mom doesn’t want to, in which case I’ll watch the DVD somewhere else and mutter imprecations.
