i was visiting my brother this weekend, the only tv he has in his house is a 20 year old 13" color tv
he has a dvd player hooked up to it, they don't get cable or satellite, i don't think they get any over the air stations due to living in BFE
i watched shrek the 3rd on it with my nieces/nephews

100%, though we only have one. I think it's because my parents have at least 10 hooked up to cable that I shy away from getting more than one.

Residence on the west coast we have projection 59" standard.


My undersea base has a 80" 1080p.
My F15 has a 27" LCD in the cockpit
My Thursday residence has 7 DLP screens.
Strangely enough, my class D Federation Starship only has a 19in CRT, ran out of money. oops.

:laugh:

At my parent's house
1 ancient 54" 4:3 Hitachi RPTV, remarkably, it's 1080i.
1 24", or was it 27" Samsung 720p LCD

College apt
1 32" 720p Emprex LCD. Only $400 from Outpost in September; scholarship money well spent :p

i have a 52" rptv that i thought was on its way out... i took it apart to play with it (since my living room is a 42" plazmitronixation) and ended up cleaning the mirrors, lenses and other parts inside. it looks like a brand new tv again! and the sound you cant beat, with that nice echo chamber at the bottom. its in my office now. i love my 42" plaz, but i still like my 52" SD. the other tvs are all 27" or better SD tubes, pretty much one in every room (and 2 in my room, one hanging over the 52" RPTV in the office also). if they were cheaper, id go HD in my room and office, but the kids are stuck with 27" SD tube tvs.

No HDTV's in our household, we might make the jump next year. Good HD's are still too much IMHO.

50 inch Panasonic plasma in the living room, and a kinda old 27 inch tube tv in the bedroom. And it can be very hard to watch that tube tv anymore.

I can't answer your poll. :( I have one HDTV, but it's not in my living room or my bedroom. It's in my office. We never watch TV in the living room, and we don't have cable in the bedroom so it's just DVDs up there.

my big TV in the living room is HD.

the computer in my bedroom is an old 22" crt that I've had since college... I'll probably replace it with an hd-tv when I can get one for cheap.
