R.I.P. Toshiba 50-inch HDTV (February 2003 – March 2008)
Last night, I turned on my tv to watch a movie. It came on, the screen turned bright-white. There was a pop, then it turned itself off. Now, I am no tv expert, but I don’t think that is supposed to happen. I turned the tv back on, only to get sound but no picture.
That is the status of the tv now. Maybe I can get the lamps replaced, maybe not. But that tv was the first “big” thing that I bought after college. I will miss you, my 50-inch HD friend. O, the times we had. All the movies and Xbox. See you in the big home theater in the sky!




You had an HDTV in 2003? Nice. I’m sorry for your loss.
Yeah man. It served my home well. Hundreds of movies, thousands of hours of laziness. What a sad day. Thanks for your condolences.
Oh man that sucks. Are you buying a new one? Do you have any in mind?
I am looking on Craigs List, but I really dont have the money for a new one right now. So I am stuck with a 19″ replacement right now. It sucks!
This is a sad day…I am sorry for your loss. The relationship between a man and his television is a unique one.
It really is. Now I am looking online for a cheap floozy replacement. If my tv was still alive, it would be very disappointed in me right now.
That is a very sad loss of a 50 inch sweet TV.
It died the day before my birthday. That means nothing, but it’s kinda weird.
Well happy birthday! I got a new tv I will be posting about later today. Finally!
