New TV

Tonight I ended up buying a new TV and setting that up. Was going to hang out with my friend Patrick and a bunch of other people, but I forgot to line up a babysitter until the last minute, and then it was too late. So, instead I went and purchased a new TV that Nickcole and I have been planning on buying out of our tax refund. It's a 27", so not a whole lot bigger than our previous 25". But the last TV we bought was really cheap, and we bought it before we got married back in 2000. So, it's nothing great. This new one is really nice. It has a flat tube, and 700 lines of resolution with a digital comb filter. I guess that makes signal take advantage of all the additional scan lines since the highest resolution input is 480. But the TV also includes some nice inputs such as component video, in addition to the S-Video, composite video and RF input found on most sets. Our old TV had only a single RF input making it very complicated to get a VCR, DVD player, Dreamcast, Gamecube, digital camera, and previously digital cable all connected.
