Big Screen television

There is no greater gift for a sports fan than a big screen television. This entertainment item can make your family room into a really exciting place at game time. Investing in a big screen television is a must for any sports fan but movie enthusiasts will enjoy it as well.

My husband and I never really knew the appeal of a big screen television until we moved into our new home. There was a 52 inch TV in the basement. The previous owner said that she didn’t want to move it and that there was a problem with the picture. We were more than happy to take the big screen television under our wings.

Unfortunately, there were more problems than we anticipated. There was not a slight problem with the picture. There was no picture at all. I didn’t even see snow static on the big screen television. Nothing worked.

The sound was also more than a slight problem. There was none of that, either. We have a relative who is handy with technological items and he was even stumped. After spending an afternoon with the big screen television he gave up and suggested that we consult a professional.

The professional wasn’t much help, either. He really doesn’t make house calls and he has to work on the big screen television in his work space. This makes perfect sense but what made us skip the visit is that he charges 150 bucks just to look at the thing. It costs even more to move the big screen television to the site, too.

We were gambling with the possibility to spending a few hundred dollars on an item that couldn’t be fixed. The cumbersome big screen television was beginning to become more of a burden than a lucky break. We were too disappointed for words.

Now there are LCD screens on the market and while they are a bit out of our budget, we may wait until we save up for this option instead. If you are going to invest in a big screen television you might as well save your money for something that you really want. It will be worth the wait.

We decided to go with another used big screen television in the meantime. We found a great deal from an advertisement in the newspaper. A local family was selling their big screen television because they got a new LCD screen. This new addition to our home is quite welcomed but we are still saving our pennies.
