We've been scoping out TVs for over a year now. I can pretty much tell you any price of a 32 inch LCD out there. I can also tell you that TVs have come down A LOT in price over the past year. This is a great week to buy because many are on sale because of the Super Bowl. James did a lot of research on what TVs are good and whatnot. Well after a year of scoping out 32 inch prices, we found a great deal on a 37 incher. I felt very guilty buying this TV because we didn't need a new TV. We just wanted one. With the good sales and our taxes coming back relatively soon, we splurged. And James did all the hard work to get it mounted above the fireplace.
Of course Ben had to be Daddy's little helper!
James measuring and leveling.
It's up in record time!
I've cleaned up the mantle a bit and threw up some pictures. I want to get 2 little trees to flank the TV. Fake ones. Not real ones. James thinks this is "gay." It's my small attempt to be more Martha Stewart like. We're finally starting to venture into the 21st century, yet I still can't help feeling a little yuppie like - even though most everyone we know has a big old TV like this. Most are bigger!

Congratulations on your move into the present! We too have been back and forth about buying a new TV. Ours was such a good bargain and works so well, but it is a monster. I'm glad to know we're not the only conflicted ones!
The TV and mantle look great!
James has been working much too hard so I'm glad to see you splurged and got something fun. Tom and Ben will love watching the Wonder Pets on this!
Yes Allison - it's hard to justify spending money on something when you really don't need it. The prices have come down a lot though.
GG - the WonderPets are so wonderful on the TV. Tom is in WonderPets heaven! You can have our old one if you want (although I think you too should buy one since your TV is very blurry).
