Okay, Okay, I'll fess up....
The 42" as a monitor was only temporary.
Last week Monday lightning struck near our house and blew out the TV, even though it was on two ACE hardware surge protectors
The bad part is that the TV had a good picture and had always worked well for the last 5 years or so. (bought it for $200, then) 32" Tube TV
The good part is that it now gave me a reason to upgrade!!
My wife said "we shouldn't spend $1,000 on a TV right now" (I just changed jobs) so I said "I'll think of something"
So this is what I thought of. I really did get it for $200 though. Then I had to spend $100.00 for the wall mount, $49.99 for the TV tuner, and $4.00 for a VGA-DVI connector.
So, for $354.00, we now have a 42" LCD TV.
Oh, and don't give me any shit about the stuff on the entertainment center...
HEAVY DUTY mount!
So, please forgive me...
