These baseball players are nearly life size!!

So, yes, the TV arrived. In a HUGE box. It was guaranteed to come by noon and it arrived at 11:55. But the guy was really nice to roll it up to my door and then position it so that I could pull it into the living room. The box and packaging was really heavy and the TV itself is not too heavy or cumbersome for me to handle as long as I don't have to handle it much.

I had to put legs on it and then move it to the top of the credenza but done. Set up was easy peasy. I had Roku, Amazon Fire and TiVo attached to my other TV. I killed Amazon (I can get that stuff on both Roku and TiVo) and Roku (since it's built in). I plugged everything else in and turned it on. It found everything and updated its software and it was all set. The most difficult thing was figuring out how to turn the volume up. The remote is tiny and simple and, turns out, there's a tiny volume rocker on the side. But I had to look in the manual to find it.

So now it's all up and running and OMG is it huge. I mean really really really big. I'm watching the baseball game and the players are giants. Funny. But Oh how much easier is it to read the words. The sound is good. Oh the privacy remote thing only works with streaming stuff. Not with TiVo. I am soooooo glad I didn't pay $100 extra for that.

I do like the aquarium screen saver.

I still need to take the box and stuff to the dumpsters. I already put up the sign to sell the old one. I could move it into the bedroom but the bedroom TV is fine and it has a built in DVD player which I like so hopefully somebody will want to buy this 40 incher.

I'm happy with this TV.

I'm obsessed with the increasing size of TVs lately.

So shiny!

And once again, I just love how colorful and cool your house is.

[susandennis]

Thank you. The shiny new TV is adding even more color!

I love the new TV, and admire you for the ease with which you were able to set it up!

Hurrah for new TV - it looks good.

Lovely big telly. I saw an advert for one the other day and decided I wanted one but it turned out it was £3000 so that's out

That is a gorgeous piece of electronics. We have a 42" mounted on the wall in our living room. I'd like one a bit bigger I think, but the space won't allow for it as it's in between some build in shelves.

Also, I'm in love with your Tetris light. Where on earth did you get that?

[susandennis]

Isn't that light cool? Although I just realized I should have restacked it before I made this shot. It's easy to get knocked with bits turned off.

I've had it forever with no memory of where I got it but, look, I found one on Amazon!

It looks smaller than mine but smaller might well make it work better. Mine would never do the angle thing in that picture.

Oh Amazon! How we love thee!

[susandennis]

ditto a thousand times

Did you rearrange your prints so that the TV doesn't obscure the view? No, don't tell me. I can wait to read about it if you did because moving pictures is definitely post-worthy.
