Hey I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
I'm not much of a TV person myself, but have found myself in the market for one.
You see, now that both of my parents are retired, they spend a decent amount of time watching. Problem is, they've been watching the same set they bought back when I was still a little guy. Well, it just finally broke, so I've given them mine, an even OLDER set.
But anyway, to the point.....My parents have always been very financially supportive, and my father has insisted on paying my way through college. (It's something he really wants to say he's accomplished in life...putting both himself and his son through college.) Problem is, my school costs waaaay too much, and he's told me he's not really in the position to be buying anything new for themselves. I suppose you can imagine how this makes me feel.
Well, regardless, there's no reason they should be straining their eyes to watch a tiny, fuzzy, little box across the room. Now, I've managed to save up a little bit of money to solve this problem, but I have no idea where to start. Hopefully you guys can help.
First of all, I'm not looking for anything huge or crazy expensive. I am after all about to finish college and get shoved out into the real world. But, I do want quality. Something of a substantial size too. I'd say their couch is about 10-15 feet away from the set. I know I want 1080. It doesn't have to be brand new, or in perfect condition, if there are any good Ebay or refurb deals out there.
Other than that, I don't know much else.
I guess I'll leave it up to you.
I really appreciate any suggestions an info..
Thanks guys.
