Welcome to the 21st Century

Our 23-year-old television finally gave up the ghost yesterday, so we went out and got a massive (by our standards, anyway) 32-inch LCD Sony TV!

Unfortunately I don't have any HD components, so mostly what we get is a bigger SD picture. But there are a couple of HD channels on our el-cheapo basic cable plan, including the gorgeous WGBH-HD.

But the other nice thing about our new boob-tube is that it has VGA inputs, so I can connect my laptop and we can watch Netflix streaming on it. Our old Netflix streaming setup consisted of lugging a computer, monitor and speakers into the living room, setting it all up, watching the movie, and tearing it down again.
