  When the TV perfectly fit the cabinet. That’s when you knew.

    what is the point of me seeing more detail in TV than in real life?

    It’ll be bigger than my brother-in-law’s TV.

    Then you won’t have to go outside.

  That is one strong unit, the thought of the weight of those devices gives me back pain.

    Especially if you had to hookup a new system or player to it.

  Twenty-seven years ago that 27 inch TV was huge!

    Those TVs were in a lot of middle class homes. I think huge is pretty exaggerated. Having a house on the block with those 4 person 40-50 in TV’s was pretty common in a lot of areas IMO.

      They weren’t huge at all. They were huge for that day.

      Sure there was 40+ inch tvs if you were willing to shell out 10k plus.

    Now most people need massive TVs, but still spend most of the time looking at the small screen on the phone.

      Then they put that massive TV so close to where they sit that it’s just painful to actually watch anything on because there is just no way you can get the entire image in your field of vision comfortably.

      Because unless you’re buying a quality panel the difference between a 45 inch and 65 is usually $150. For something that you need 3 or 4 of (tops, if you have a family or large house) that’ll last 5+ years, the value proposition is high enough to spend the extra money.

      Not me, I will refuse to watch any movie I’ve never seen on a tiny fucking phone screen. I at least have some standards
