I have a 50" Sony and it the(oldie?) rear Projection model.
Still as good as the day I brought it 5 years ago,only maintenance is to replace the bulb every year,never had any service call to repair it.
Think Ill keep it.
 
32" Samsung flat screen in the bedroom (cable), 37" Samsung flat screen living room (rabbit ears), 22"? in kitchen (rabbit ears). Whenever we shopped for TVs, the Samsung seemed to have the best/sharpest picture, even over the Sony, although Sony was close.
 
I've got one tv which is about 14 years old, 26" Goodmans and I still think that's too big. lol I hate the tv to dominate the room and when this one finally pops its clogs it will be replaced by a smaller one. I'm on my own now since husband died and sons left home so there's no-one to persuade me otherwise. ;)
 
I had a 32 inch Sanyo flat-screen, but it was difficult to view now that I have cataracts. I recently replaced it with a 42 inch Sanyo flat-screen. Now I can read the TV listings and credits.
 
Big old 65 inch Toshiba. This thing just keeps playing and playing. I want to replace someday with a smaller unit that doesn't take up so darn much room. I guess it to be about 10 years old. Just noticed my toes in pic. Took it from my recliner.

Unlike some I dont want a tv in the bedroom simply cause that room is for sleeping and maybe that other thing.:)
 
One 32'' flat screen bought for me by my son 2 1/2 years ago, one tv is enough for me.:)

I had rear projection but traded for 50" LG plasma because of cost of replacement lamps in rear projection (approx $300 each and there are three of them
 
We have a Panasonic High Definiton large screen maybe 96 inch.. its about 15 yrs old and still going good ..
we use it with satellite Foxtel and a set top box till it goes then we can go digital.. it belonged to our son who
passed away 8 yrs ago and we hate to part with it so we will keep it for as long as it goes.. it does what we want
and lovely sound with it as well..

Well, it's square and has a glass window and I turn it on and I watch it for a while.

Boy, THAT was an easy one! :playful:
