I¹m going to say something that will probably have my US citizenship revoked.
I have a Vizio brand 52 inch LCD HDTV big screen TV, and I hardly watch it. In fact, I think if I got rid of it, and I¹d be pretty happy. I love watching games and an occasional movie on it ...but you know what I like even more? I have an iMac in my office since I think 2004. I LOVE watching movies and TV shows on my computer. When I settled in to watch Sliders season 1 (which is still $20 at Wal Mart, btw) -- iMac. Transformers on DVD? iMac. When I watched the LOTR DVDs it was on a much smaller TV in my office. I enjoy watching that smaller TV with my son because we have our own chairs to sit in and get comfortable. And he¹s 4, so it¹s not really about what¹s on screen, it¹s the time we¹re spending together. We could be listening to radio serials and it would have the same effect. I am waiting for the RE-remastered TOS episodes to go to iTunes because I will download them all and watch them at the end of the day. I watch more TV on my computer than I do on the screen. When I¹m on the road I watch DVDs on my laptop, and if Apple steps up their anime game...iPhone. My iTunes library is pretty big, I listen to more music and podcasts than I watch network TV. IN fact, if it weren¹t for TCM and football, I would only watch like 3 hours of programmed TV a week. I know I can get most of the movies I like on TCM from GreenCine or Netflix. I have been thinking about getting Setanta Sports. If I could get it so that I could watch EPL games on my iMac or laptop...I would really have no reason to watch a large screen TV. In fact, I should run the numbers on what I would be spending if I got a package to watch soccer on my computers and bought tickets to go SEE football games I wanted to see in Charlotte. If I downgraded my cable package, I may actually end up spending the same amount of money and would have more fun. Of course, as I say all this, I ended up getting the Blade Runner DVD for Christmas and have not watched it yet. Once I do, I will probably be taking all of this back.
