When did you first get a flatscreen tv?

My mom bought our first flatscreen Plasma TV back in 2007. A silver-colored 42 inch Panasonic. We still use that exact same TV to this day.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    2005. A Sharp 32” and it cost $3,000. I just retired it for a Samsung 35” that cost $289 in Costco. Go figure.

    My dad bought our first flatscreen TV in 2005, it was a Sony Bravia and it was awesome. None of my friends at school had flatscreen tvs yet.

    I bought my first TV, a Sharp something FHD tv in university in 2011 and used it up until about 4 years ago when I bought a bigger, curved, 3D, 4k Samsung that I plan to keep up until it breaks.

    Why did curved tvs and 3D disappear?! I liked those.

      From what I was told, people considered curved TVs and 3D TVs impractical and too expensive, so not many people wanted to buy one.

        curved 3D TVs weren't more expensive than today's ultra-slim 4K big-brand TVs.

        Also they look cooler, even when they are off, they are part of the decor.

        They say watching a movie in 4K is better than 3D and you don't get headaches. I've never gotten a headache watching 3D and as shiny and crisp 4K can be, it's still lacking a bit of depth. 3D literally tricks your brain into making the video 3D.
        4K is just very high resolution.

        But whatever, curved TVs are a forgotten fad now, still gonna keep mine tho XD.

    I believe mine is a Westinghouse 42 inch. I got it back in like, 2009 with my income tax money. I can't remember if I got it from Walmart or Best Buy. I have no intention of getting a new TV yet. I plan on using this one till it breaks. XD
