Would you spend that much for a TV?

hello sweet, I did upgrade our TV,but i gave away the old one. My kids are not fond of watching TV they spend more time in computer or sometimes PS3. Our bonding time is when they start holding their musical instruments,we all love music a lot-that's our bonding moments. have a good day always

what you have written is almost just like talking about one of my brothers. they bought one last year for roughly $2500, on top of the 3 they already have at home. the 2 in the bedrooms were slightly smaller and had cost slightly lower too. and they have the old tv in the kitchen/dining area. although in our own home we have 5 tv (one for each bedroom/family room), only one is relatively new and sizable and had cost a little over half of what my brother had spent in theirs. it came with the remodeling of the new bedroom. anything smaller just didn't look good. the other 4 units, we had them for years. and it's convenient to have a few because when my siblings' families come over, they have different interests already and different age groups spend time watching shows together. as for myself, i'd think twice of buying very expensive tv when i know there are other priorities at home. i'm for spending quality time too but often, without the families of my siblings, there's only my parents and i at home and we are not so fond of the television when we are all busy with other stuff. my father watches cartoons, my mother watches tele-novelas, and i watch movies and foreign shows. unless any one of us 3 is interested in what the other is watching, it's pretty much his own tv. we don't have to watch the same thing because there are other tv available.

Hi sweet pea I actually paid $3500 for the one here at home, at the time I purchased it I could afford it and paid cash for it at the store. We have a big front room and it is a really nice TV. When I bought it I was earning six in a half figure yearly income and was able to do so. I currently am not working and if I had to buy it again now I would not be able to, but if I thought I wanted it, I would aside from my obligations save up for it. Since I first bought it I was a huge TV fanatic but then the kids were home too. Currently not so big on TV so don't think I would really care so much if I wanted one in the near future. lol

hi sweetpea, We have two television one for living room and one at mom's room I don't spend much money on appliance mom is planning to buy a home theater soon but I told her that maybe she can but not now since she just bought a new refrigerator and washing machine . I am trying to discourage her because soon those TV will be depreciated and she can get it for a low cost By the way I still remember our meet up happy mylotting

Honestly, I wouldn't want to spend that much on a tv set. I know for a fact that it would be a waste of my earnings and savings just to buy a tv that expensive. But if I have enough, I would really want to buy a new tv set that's of good quality, but not too expensive, in order to replace the tv we have right now. It's pretty old now. ii think we have had our tv for 10 years now. I would really be ecstatic if I get to replace it soon. But the need to replace it with something so expensive as $2,300 worth of appliance, I don't think so.

We have the same perspective about TV. I'm a person contented of what I have. But there are some exception for this kind of situation like having a gaming console connected to your TV. Usually it's not fun when you have small TV. But I'll say it is still in that person. If he is fond of having TVs then so be it.

I am not very keen on TV today. Since I don't have much time to watch it. If I have to upgrade my TV at home, perhaps I will buy a HD LED TV. As right now our TV is the old one and therefore we can't see the details when we play the Xbox games. So I need the HD TV. But our current TV set still works well and it's 38". I don't want to waste it, this is why I don't have a plan to buy a new TV yet. I love China

I really wouldn't spend that much on a television. That's really way too much to spend on a TV, in my opinion. For the time being, my husband and I are happy with the television we have. We don't really need anything else. At some point, we might consider getting another television, but it's going to be a while before we actually do. And when we do, we're going to try and get something at a reasonable price. We're definitely not going to pay over 2000 dollars for a TV.

$2300 would be way too much for me to spend on a TV. If I wanted a TV, I would wait until it went on sale or got one a little more within my budget. I actually saved some money back for a while to get a new one and still waited until I got a special online offer from Sears. I am a bit frugal. I do know what you mean about TV cutting in to family time. I think it does have the possibility to do so. I like my TV and I don't want to get rid of it..but if it was cutting into other stuff, I would reconsider.

Sure, I would certainly buy a huge 2342" TV set, if I had all the money in the world, AND if I didn't HATE tv so much. I hate tv. 10 years ago I cancelled my Cable. I haven't missed it. 6 years ago I unplugged my TV set, and left it in a corner. I haven't missed it. Last year, I sold every TV in the house. No way I'll spend 10¢ for another one. You'd have to give it to me, and then I'd likely sell it. Ironically both of the TVs I sold, people had given to me. If I ever have a family, and wanted to watch movies with my family, I could in theory, be convinced to buy a TV, and a big one. However, I certainly will never watch cable. It is simply not worth the money, and broadcast is horrible. It's amazing how many things I didn't realize I "needed" to be happy in life, once I stopped watching TV.

I think I spent around $800 on my TV which I bought almost two years ago(I think I am still paying for it). Back then, I thought it was way too much for a TV, but at that time, our small TV conked out, and I am a big fan of watching it, so I grudgingly shelled out the money. But $2300?! I think you could almost buy a good pre-used car for that kind of money!

Hi sweet pea: I would only do this if I can affor to buy it. In fact I think I won't buy the best tv. Of course I want a good device with perfect quality and special features but I won't necessary the most expensive one from the store. I use my computer more often than my tv so I prefer to buy the best computer rather than the best tv because I won't spend so much time using my tv. ALVARO

hi, its true that having high technology and very nice television in the house is really good,but because money is really hard to earn this days i will never buy another television to upgrade my old one,if i can still use that old television why should i need to buy another one since i can still use my old one.

Well, I spent a little more on a LED TV last year... so... yes, I would!!! XD But it all depends on what do you want it for. I'm a movies lover and when I bought my TV, I wanted the best TV I could afford. But if you only like to watch TV shows, then you've probably no need of such a TV.

i will not spend more for a tv when i still have one that is functioning alright. not a very practical idea to me.

I am of wacthing t.v eryday but i will not spend lots of money just to buy a brand new one.For me as long as I can see the charecters and the scence makes sense its ok.

Hmm... to me, that is just too much. =P I think one tv is enough. Two at the most in case different people want to watch two different programs at the same time. But we don't even have cable at the moment so that happens very rarely, if at all. Also, for me it is not necessary to have a tv in practically every room in the house. =P And I don't really need the very fancy ones either.

I guess your friend has got one of the latest LED tv's and thats why it has cost him that much amount of money. surely $2300 is a big amount but it also depends from person to person. myself too am planning to invest in a flat screen tv in a couple of months from now along with a play station 3. havent really thought of the cost but after having participated in your discussion i will surely have to get down to some calculation and decide whats best for me.

Best advice I can give is don't spend too much. With technology these days you'll find that even the most expensive TV's drop drastically after 8 months. Don't buy yesterday's technology, don't buy tomorrow's technology. But buy TODAY's technology. I always avoid reccomending 3D Tv's to friends and families simply for 2 reasons. 1) the technology is in it's first stage and still not yet perfected. 2) TV Manufacturers are already working on a 3D TV that doesn't need glasses! Now why would they want you to purchase the one that DOES need glasses? Simple, the manufacturers rely on the "pioneers" or early adopters of the technology to show them the demand and also help fund further research to improve the technology. Best advice would be to purchase something within your means, and don't worry too much about all the fancy features. At the end of the day it still shows you the same TV shows and Movies as any other TV.

I will say oviously no. Because TV is not good in my opinion. You can watch tv in a small television the same thing and in bigger one same thing so whats the difference you are watching the same channel. No need to wasting money just because of some pleassure we can use that money for good works.
