Probably one of the most discouraging aspects of dealing with technology is trying to figure out when [and if] to upgrade existing equipment that is still working. I have two televisions – one in the living room and one in the bedroom. They are both ancient behemoths of indeterminate age but are old – at least 20 years old and altho they are working fine at the moment, neither can be expected to last much longer. And they are big and heavy, both the Panasonic and the Magnavox completely filling their spot in the home entertainment centers. Each have cable. The one in the bedroom has a combined DVD/VHS player that my daughter bought for me some years ago; the one in the living room had a DVD player and a separate VHS player that I could switch too if I wanted [which I have not done in six years]. The TV in the bedroom is actually t00 low for comfortable viewing which limits its usage.
The living room DVD player died. Kaput. In shopping for a new blu-ray DVD, I was seduced by a new Samsung flat screen LED TV…. I ordered a 26” to fit into the entertainment center spot. And now I have a quandary to resolve:
Do I replace the living room TV because that gets more use? Or do I replace the bedroom TV, placing the set up higher since it is lighter and takes up less room and using that space in the entertainment center for something else?
If I replace the bedroom TV, can I still connect the new blu-ray to the old set in the living room? Wouldn’t it make better sense to have the newer equipment all together?
*sighs* And I bought the special cables to fit in with the FIOS box [router. Modem. Whatever – I haven’t set up wifi yet] and I am so trying to figure this all out on my own. And hoping that someone on the Freecycle mail list wants an old TV and is willing to haul it away….
