Not for you, for me.

My kids school was holding a fund raising rafle and I bought 3 tickets for $2.00 each.
I won the grand prize a 32" Vizio LCD tv.
It is a pretty nice set for sure but the lady who called me to tell me I won told me it was a 38" plasma. She aparently did not know what she was talking about.
I can't complain though cause she told me if I wanted to I could return it and get around $1000.00 cash.

I hooked it up last night and I think it makes a great addition to our bedroom.

Compared to my DLP I think it has a slightly better picture but it is also smaller so the image is more compact.

I guess I just post this to show off my luck.

P.S. I have never won a grand prize before but I hope to do it again someday.

    Oh, sure.
    Now all you need is a good DVD to watch.
    :rolleyes:
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Thanks everyone.

    Now I need to find a good deal on a wall mount.
    Then I need to put the wires in the wall so they can not be seen.

    It is definitley an improvement over the last t.v.
