home theater system, lcd hdtvThis weekend we had perfect weather so our home theater system didn't get its usual workout. Our home theater system was hardly idle all summer. It was incredibly hot out so we spent our afternoons and evenings around the LCD HDTV enjoying ourselves immensely. We bought the LCD HDTV this spring and have no regrets whatsoever. In fact, my brother was over yesterday and we turned it on to show him how great our new TV is. He was in awe of the picture and sound quality. I told him to start saving his money for his  own home theater system, and I think he's convinced it's the way to go. He and his family have been hit by the recession but are hanging on, and he's starting to see the wisdom of saving money for their own home theater system to save massive amounts of money on entertaining the family. It's a whole lot cheaper to rent a DVD than take the family to the movies when they crave entertainment and the convenience of being able to watch anything anytime is a huge incentive for putting together a new home theater.
