Check out the depth on this bad boy.
In case this makes you want to go out right this minute and hunt one of these down, it's a Zenith.
Well, this TV was my Granny's and when she died 6 years ago, she wanted to make sure I got this TV because I was the only grandchild that didn't have a big screen. So even though this TV didn't have the best picture, I vowed to use it until it was no mo'. I had a feeling about a month ago that it was climbing into its death bed so I went ahead and started doing a little bit of TV window shopping. Fast forward about 5 weeks later and this happened.....
So the next day, I went to get the TV I spotted last month. Unfortunately, they didn't have any in stock but they could deliver it to me on Friday......it was only Tuesday. Thank God I had other TVs that could hold me over until then. Friday came and TA-DA!!
If you can't tell, I like to use Tippy to demonstrate how big things are in real life. Or I could just tell you that I got a 50" Panasonic Viera 1080p Plasma HDTV. As for the TV stand, that's actually just my coffee table that I pushed up against the wall. I was going to search for an old buffet on Craigslist that I could fix up but I think I like my coffee table as a TV stand. I've been wanting to get a new coffee table anyway because this one is a bit too traditional for my taste. But I'm thinking about painting it a bright color so that it doesn't look so traditional. The shelf below is perfect for my cable box and DVD player. I'll keep you updated if I decide to paint it.
As exciting as a new TV can be, I gotta say that I was pretty sad to get rid of the old TV for obvious reasons. This was the last gift that my Granny ever gave to me and I can't say that I didn't shed a few tears to see it go out. At least I have the new and improved vanity of hers that my dad fixed up for me!

**Shout out to Stephen for helping me find this TV at an awesome price**
Congrats on the new tv! We just made the switch too. So happy to have that big arse tv out of my house and enjoying the lovely homegoods tv stand where my new tv resides!
