Let me start by saying this is more of a vent than anything else but as always all opinions are welcomed
...Now my wife is pretty good about mt HT habits,she's even read my copy of the 'Bits book Complete Guide to HT,she used the term "anamorphic"...she understands aspect ratio...she even got angry when she saw someone purchase "Scarface" in full screen at our local BB...
Sometimes she'll complain when I spend too much on Tuesday's but hey what does she want to spend our money on...BILLS?
Here's my dilemma...we have a Mits 40509 that's 5years old(probably the last CRT model before they went exclusively to projection)...We love the TV...digital cable looks good...DVD's looks awesome...so many great features that I cant even list and it fits PERFECTLY on our Bell'O stand & with the room decor...perfectly...BUT...its not a widescreen...its not HD ready...how do I convince her to buy another tv when there's absolutely nothing wrong with this one...doesn't look like it will break down soon either...with my luck it will last forever...
How can I justify getting rid a perfectly good 40" for a 46" widescreen just because it has componet jacks and is HD ready?
She is dead set against buying another T.V(we have a 27"Sony in our bedroom and a 19"Sharp in the hangout,computer,music,media,dj,workout,????guest room)
Even my younger brother has a 53" HD ready Panasonic...and he can't even spell widescreen...
I'm trying to fight the 'itis...I'm really trying...
Thanks for letting me vent...sorry for the long post
The WAF vs. The Upgradeitis(vs.the bills )
Thanks
Jim
