f1only:
Blimey i thought my parents one was old, they have had their 20" Hitachi colour TV since 1971 & are only now thinking of the possibly getting a new TV.
They are still in 2 minds though, at 78 & 81 my dad says it it worth it? bearing in mind it might out last us!! I keep telling him it is worth it in my opinion as the picture is much cleaner on a newer set plus its in widescreen, they would'nt be missing a lot of the picture & information on screen, it would remove the extra freeviw box that floats about under the tv.
My parents always comment on how good the tv picture is at mine when they visit & if they were to replace it they would be after a 32" maximum. At the end of the day though i suppose its what you get used to & or are used to.
