    I've spent a small fortune this weekend....

    I've spent a small fortune this weekend.....

    Decided to treat myself to a nice Samsung LCD TV with built in freeview.




    And I've just bought a nice tilt wall mount off ebay.... £40 which i didnt think was too bad.




    Roll on Thursday when it arrives

    unless you do something very clever with them it wont quite be the same

    i did used to have a blue light in my tv stand tho, provided a very low light over the dvd player etc, just enough to see it

    I wouldn't want any extra light. I'd rather see NOTHING besides the TV screen when I'm watching something Gives me the whole Cinema effect. I can get pretty close at night with all the displays dimmed
