A New TV...

So a few weeks ago, we turned off our living room tv (an older HDTV) one night when we went to bed and wouldn't come on the next morning. I researched our tv model on the internet and tried a few things to get it to turn on, but had no luck. When Jeremy came home from work, he tried to turn it on and it came on. We decided that we would leave the tv on all the time, but leave it on a blank screen when we weren't watching it. That worked for about a week.

Wednesday morning, Jeremy watched the news and then turned off the tv out of habit when he left for work. We were not able to get it to come back on at all so we decided to replace it. That also meant that we would also need to replace our media cabinet since the one that we had only held up to a 32" tv. We decided on a budget for both.

I shopped around for a new media cabinet and Jeremy shopped around for a new tv. We had decided to just put our new tv above our fireplace because we couldn't find a media cabinet that was the right size and style that fit within our budget. Then, when we were at Sam's looking at tvs, we saw a cabinet that we both really liked so we purchased it and a new 55" Vizio tv. We're hoping that it lasts for several years!
