"He's dead, Jim..."

So it looks like our HDTV kinda died over the weekend. I suppose it was bound to happen. She was a first generation Cathode-Ray Tube widescreen TV. Technically the best picture quality you can buy. Superior to LCD, or Plasma, or any other projection or flat panel technology. No "contrast ratio". Black is truly black, and white is truly white for a picture that's pretty much stunning. Seriously, nothing else comes close.

We've called the TV Repair guy (AKA Spicoli's dad). He's got this awesome set of tools, and he can fix it.

But secretly, on the inside...

I'm tempted to just let it sit for the summer.

Oh sure, I'd miss the gaming, without a doubt. But the rest? TV? Really? It pretty much sucks. I can count on less than one hand the shows I'd miss, and honestly? I'd just download 'em and watch 'em on the laptop.

TV... "meh".
