    For those of you that have been to the house before, you know exactly what TV this is. For those that don't come here ever...here's what we got:

    Sony 57" 16:9 HD Ready TV (720p)

    Pros:
    It's freakin' huge.
    It works like a charm, no issues
    It has tons of inputs
    DVI port :) :) Plug your PC in. I think you can get an HDMI -> DVI adapter too since it is essentially the same signal minus sound.
    You can see in the picture, we were watching South Park episodes on the internet with an attached PC through the DVI port. I have played Team Fortress 2 on this TV, 6MTizzle has played Left4Dead on this TV numerous times, and Aegis has played a plethora of Valve games on it. I can help you set up the resolutions if you have a PC, especially if you use an nVidia card.


    Cons:
    There is some burn in. It isn't really noticable during use, but if the screen goes entirely white for some reason during a movie or whatever, you'll see where the desktop icons were. This was my fault for not setting a screensaver like I should have.
    For those that have been here alot or at least been in front of the TV, they will tell you that they have either never seen it, or you don't notice it.
    It's old. I bought this in 2001, about 3 days before the war in Iraq started (I remember this because we bought a 24pack of cheap beer and had a "war party" where we watched round the clock news and drank beer whenever they showed footage of a bomb dropping.)

    I will not deliver this item to you, you WILL need a truck to get it, or a very empty van with no seats in the back.

    This item will be first come first serve. I take paypal or cash. If you bring a check, you can still go home with it, but if your check bounces, I will come to your house, kick a hole in the TV, and beat the ever living crap out of 300 dollars worth of your belongings.

    Price: 300 OBO.

    02Blubru has offered to do a full clean and calibrate on the TV for 50 bucks. He is a TV tech by trade, so you can trust his work. He knows his stuff. If the buyer is in the TC metro area, he'll travel to you and do the labor on site. If you are interested in this, simply contact him after you pick it up and he'll take care of the rest :)

    P.S.: Pictures show that there is a young lady, this young lady is not part of the package. You will have to provide your own girlfriend/wife/significant other/domestic partner/man dressed in a tiger costume/whatever it is you go to bed with/or friend.

    Also, if you commit to and pick it up this weekend, I'll knock 50 bucks off it, because it is in the way of my new TV.

    Yes, I want that TV gone. I'm pissed that it's taking up space :)

    Oh and, it hasn't been cleaned in a while. I'm actually picking up the stuff to do it as I type this - get rid of those dusty smears on the screen. It will be clean for whoever picks up the TV. There are no scratches or stains or whatever, it's just dusty :)

    Yes, forgot about that, no scratches on the screen. It is probably one of the few things in my home that has been babied since we got it.
