32" Sony flat screen LED jobby.

Small heritage terrace so rooms are small. Plus, only watch it for around 3 hours a week.

39 inch in the bedroom
19 inch kitchen
I've just been gifted a 50 inch plasma that someone imported from Turkey (Arcelik), and then discovered that one simply does not mount 120 kilo tellies on a traditionally built Bulgarian house wall. I've welded up a box girder stand to mount it on.
All my viewing is via Android TV boxes running KODI/XBMC, or Chrome and Hola for UK catch-up channels, iPlayer etc.

Tell me which member of the household dyes their hair black?


Back on topic, just a 40" TV for me, had it about 8 years now i suppose - still looks fab when streaming HD movies from the NAS through the PS3, so no need to upgrade to a "smart" TV yet.

64" Samsung plasma. Didn't intend to buy that big, walked into House of Fraser one evening, who were closing down their electrics dept, and had knocked 60% of their display TVs. So that was a £3000 TV for £1200 !!!!

My TV is 50".

It's big enough. I wouldn't go any bigger in the room it's in. No need.

4K, though, I want.

42 ins in the lounge and 24 in the bedroom and I can use my phone to change channels ,turn on off and stuff.
The 42 is on Sky+ ,the 24 is freeview which is a waste of time withthe amount of channels on offer.

My boss has this beast:

http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/panasonics-103-inch-3d...

In the main lounge at his house in Dubai....

Required a site survey before he was allowed to buy it as it's so heavy.

Picture quality is amazing with an HD source and call of duty was pretty cool as well!!

I dread to think of the cost.

30" CRT. Cracking stuff. Damn thing will not break.
I dropped a 27" TV down the stairs once and it just rolled/bounced, resulting only in some minor scratches...

Throw it from the window? smash The older non tension tubes can be quite spectacular when they implode, sounding like a shot gun...

shoot If you decide to execute a TV by firing squad, please use something with more oomph than a .22; unless you stand too close (and straight on!), sometimes Will Not penetrate the CRT, but will ricochet - which is not a good thing! Trust me. readit

A broom & dustpan on standby to clean up the mess - there Will be a Big mess. yes

Apt username there stud.

So when you are in your bedroom you are either sleeping or shagging?

No other options? You can't even read a book? Even after you've been non-stop shagging?
