The TV I have had for a life-time finally died – by some odd coincidence walking the trash out tonight I glance into my neighbors pad and see their flat screen TV glowing – I think someday…time to do dishes; decide I want some music which I use my TV to stream from and click-click, the Phillips, big-old box TV doesn’t turn on, and it’s plugged in. Guess, I really have the power of suggestion in my hands! I never get rid of anything or upgrade unless it’s broken. I have NEVER bought a TV in all my years…just have had two that were passed along.
This TV has a very deep history with me. In 1999 I bought a Airstream Overlander from the 50′s and this TV and other misc. contents that came from the rescue of the Airstream. It’s worked great ever since. What is KEY to getting a new Flat Screen is I can still connect my ATARI which I am not sure if you can see at the bottom of the photo.
So really, where do I start in the world of of flat screens? How do I keep with my Made in America or vintage New Years buying resolution for the year to support the Occupy sentiments?
Is there such a thing as a “Made in America” TV?
Vizio may be the choice for a Flat Screen. “By providing a myriad of high definition entertainment options and unmatchable value, VIZIO has grown to over 160 employees and remains the first American brand in over a decade to lead in U.S. LCD HDTV sales.”
(but how can I hook-up my Vintage Atari to a flat screen?).
SIDE NOTE: On Made In America Cat Care?
I noticed tonight, when putting on my cats flea treatment – it is MADE IN FRANCE…(o.k., my pets may not be part of the resolution just yet…but I will keep an eye out for a comparable alternative)…also, make sure it’s from France and not a scam knock-off?! or if it doesn’t have the EPA approval you may actually be getting a better deal?
No wonder the average Joe just can’t get through the day as a consumer…there is always someone trying to pull something?
