The TV I have now is a 50inch Sony that came with a blue ray player and
surround speakers / sub.  I bought it in 2010 when I moved back to the States
from Japan.  I really don't want to ever have to buy a new one, though I know
that's unrealistic.  The best part of my TV is that it doesn't connect to the
internet or have any of the new "smart" features or any of the artificial
signal processing that newer TV's have.
