For my father-in-law's 85th birthday we bought him a 32 inch flat screen tv. Being the bargain hunting that I am, I found one at Walmart for a reasonable price. We bought it, plugged it into my in-law's den and went on our merry way. And then the problems started. It stopped working. After much research and hours of phone calls, it was decided that the manufacturer was responsible for the repair. The tv was taken in Dec. 10th and is still not back. Jay and I could not deal with the constant complaining of his parents so we lent them our bedroom tv.
I miss my tv when I am folding laundry. I bring my dried laundry upstairs and watch on-demand shows. It makes for a more entertaining folding session. And I despise doing laundry with a passion. I miss this special bonding time between me, the laundry and the Sopranos! Sob!
Now a new scenario has been presented to us. When the tv is finally fixed, my in-law's have offered us to keep the newly fixed tv and they will keep the one from our bedroom. I don't know what to do. On one hand, their broken tv was a flat screen and bigger then the old one. On the other hand, it had issues 6 months after it was purchased. Could it have been the way it was cared for by my in-law's? Sure, a distinct possibility! But what if it is the brand? And servicing this tv has not exactly been a walk in the park.
What do you think?

I say don't put a TV back in the bedroom at all. For some forgotten reason I temporarily removed the TV from my bedroom and now I'll never put one back in there. Keep reading your books and try getting lost in your own thoughts while folding laundry.
We have always said we would never put on in there, and so far we haven't. In fact, we only have one TV in the whole house, which I think is good...it makes you do other things, like reading.
As for that TV set, what brand is it?
