I have big TVs in every room... they're all free from relatives who buy flatscreens. I have 1 flatscreen and it's nice, but i rarely watch tv (usually just listen) so it's no biggie.
I know what you mean, I've been using computers pretty obsessively since the last 90's, and as computers have gotten better and better my eyes have gotten shittier and shittier.
I can't even tell the difference between youtube vid's and hd.
