Modern TV question

Todd,
Find yourself a good used "tube" television. Mine stays in the (uninsulated, unheated) sunroom year-round and I've had no issues in 8 years.

I can get a flat screen HDTV for under $200. A good tube runs about the $100, they're collector's editions. And the picture wouldn't be much better than what is up there.

You see, the one up there works. It is compared to the TVs at home that the picture quality sucks. I recently had something happen by which I came into about $150 worth of disposable income (read funeral service). I was thinking that an upgrade to the TV up north might be nice, especially if it remaining in the deep freeze for a few months isn't a problem. Maybe I'll get one and just bring it home for the winter - these flat screen TVs are pretty easy to move around and are very light.

Seems like the best solution to me. Hold onto the original box and packaging for transport/storage.
