My boss is upgrading his television, stereo, etc. So I am getting the hand me downs. I got the TV Monday morning. I’m very glad. I’m still giddy even. It is an older TV than what we had, but it has much better controls, a sharper picture, and S-Video inputs. This means I could hook the server back up to the TV w/out needing the monitor downstairs to see the text. I hooked it up and had black and white. Played with my settings and had black and white. Changed the cable, TADA! Color! and with the 35″ screen we have 3 foot icons and twelve foot letters. It does really dwarfs the living room though. A flat screen is looking better and better. :-) It stick out about 2 feet from the wall and is about 3 feet wide.
It’s switched on in the picture, it’s just so big that not even light can escape it’s gravitational pull. It even sucks in shadows!
Today the cabinet makers are going to be delivering and installing the bosses new entertainment center, They are kind enough to be delivering the old one to me. We may just use it for the wood, the original intent. When I went to pick up the tv I saw how large it really was. The TV fits very loosly inside the cabinet. It was over 8ft tall. So if we decide not to use it in the house, I will have a lot of really nice hardware and cherry to use for the nest entertainment cabinet. I’m very excited.
While uploading the TV photo, I ran across this I thought I’d throw up too just cause it’s funny.
We never saw anything out the window, but they were intent on whatever wasn’t out there.
