yep, that’s right… my old TV died and I just bought a new one. I measured my entertainment center to make sure I bought one that fit, and it just barely makes it. Phew!!! I thought I was going to have to ask little Mikey how to make it fit. * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature! ---

I bought one that big and couldn’t get it into the car in any way… plenty embarrassing. Waited out front of Video Only until my buddy with a hatchback got there. Revel in the blue glow. ---

_preens_ I lived with the emasculating shame of putting a 21-incher in a spot intended for a 36-incher for a long time…but thanks to the miracles of modern science, I now completely fill the void with my 36-incher! * * * Live a Lush Life Da Chef ---

We have a TV that is in the early stages of dying. The good news is that we currently have a 35" picture image. The bad news is that the TV has a 27" screen that only displays the middle of it. ---

Be sure to give it some room for ventilation, PCW. Otherwise, youre going to have a mighty hot tv. Is there some in the back? ---

There sure is Handy… The whole back area is open so it can breath…that and so all the little dust bunnies can gather behind there and multiply. * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature! ---
