I've still got the TV I bought in 1995.......
Discussion
It's a JVC 25" CRT and it cost me £499 back in 1995, which was quite a lot for a telly
It actually still works really well, but in the last couple of years they've stopped broadcasting stuff that fits properly on a 4:3 screen (it's not widescreen), which means that text, weather forcasters and various other things sometimes disappear from view. This is slightly irritating but hasn't yet spurred me into action. I just can't bear to throw a perfectly good telly in the bin.
Convince me. Or Not.
It's all crap on the TV anyway isn't it?
Should I wait for 3d? If i buy one now, what should i get? It's all very confusing.

I still have my Sony 25" Trinitron jobbie from 1994. It's currently in our bedroom on top of a set of drawers (much to my other half's disgust) and works fine, unless it dies, i'll never bin it. As soon as we move into our new house, I'm going to put it in the garage. May it live another 15 years!

It's OK.
At home, I still have the 12" Amstrad TV my dad bought for me back in 1984.
It still works a treat and goes well with my Commodore VIC20 micro computer.
This is the only TV in the house, though. Work's a treat with the Acorn Electron.... At home, I still have the 12" Amstrad TV my dad bought for me back in 1984.

Anyway, I feel I've steered this off topic with the first reply.
I don't know much about new TV's except that you should get a big one with some large speakers (perfect for watching the opening titles of Cannonball Run).
I feel I may be stuck in the 1980's.

I'm not sure i believe that. I don't know anyone with 6 tellys, and have never been in a house with 6 tellys. I accept that my one-telly family is probably unusual, and will no doubt change when my kids get older, but six?It would explain the massive personal debt problem in this country if it were true....
Based on the responses thus far, i remain far from motivated into buying a shiny new box

We have 6 TV's and a cinema room with a projector and large screen, all of which get used on a regular basis and I know a couple of people with more, so I suggest Mr P is probably correct
