my family room gets a lot of sun in the afternoon/evenings and with my previous rear-projection tv, it is impossible to watch any television without putting the blinds.

from www.amazon.com
oh yeah, it took me three years to get one....and 6 days to get another one, as i now had to get a ln46a630 for the bottom-floor family room so i wouldn't have to keep hurrying up dinner to run

i thought it might be too big for my rather small living room but no set is too big in my opinion.
from www.amazon.com
when i saw the size of this box in my kitchen, i thought it was going to be quite the challenge to unpack and get the set into the family room.
