I'll take that before TV, but the after is very nice...

Congrats. Nice TV. I'm in the same boat. The new unit is due sometime mid next week and next Friday, I'm having a new high def install done. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be enjoying the opening weekend of college football in high def! Must be nice to have it all in and finished. I feel like a kid waiting for xmas morning to finally arrive.

Nice TV. The duct tape chair makes me sad though.

Yeah i know, the dogs when they were puppies... But the father in law with that crap

he used to put in his hair dissolved the finish of most of the top of the leather anyway.

So basically a completely new upholstery job is necessary. New couch and new chair

very soon.

You have your priorities straight: TV > Furniture

You have your priorities straight: TV > Furniture

Most furniture does not plug in the wall.

Most furniture is not on perpetual back order.

Really good furniture lasts a very long time, especially when not abused.

The one couch i'm not replacing is 25 years old, in absolutely perfect shape

and very comfortable. The dogs sleep on it much of the time, but evidently

it does not taste good enough for them to chew.

Really need a 100 inch lcd panel for the serious media room.

Too bad they are not available yet.

Did you photoshop that picture at all? Because the "after" looks really sharp. Nice!

I have recently discovered the wonders of large televisions. We do not own of course (family TV is a 27" thing), but large TVs are so darn pleasing to look at.
