On TV deals

For many years my mother had what would now be called old-fashioned TV. It was a fairly nice one for its time, but its time had passed. Finally she went out looking at tv deals and came back with a modern flat screen TV. I'm not convinced its high definition. It has a good picture but not super sharp, and with cable sometimes it's even kind of grainy. I don't know what it would do with Blue Ray DVD, since she doesn't have that. And I'm very behind in TV technology. It's not a really big screen. And she sets it into an entertainment center which I for one hate, but she likes things decorative that way. I'd buy a much bigger screen and set it on the floor or hang it on the wall and wouldn't have anything else near the picture.
