If the this question was asked back in early May, I would say yes. But my mom owed me me about 700 dollars back then, and I bought a 32 inch Insignia 1080p HDtv at Best Buy for 460 bucks, which included the two year warranty that came with it, so I didn't have to pay extra for one.
I had originally planned on getting a 32 inch Vizio 1080p LCD HDtv at Target, but when I got the thing home and opened the box, I found that there was a giant long crack on the inside LCD part of the screen. Took it back, and they said they didn't have any more in stock. It was actually a money saver, because it would have cost me 560 dollars, 50 of that was the warranty I had to buy, because it didn't come with one.
Besides, my Insignia is much better for me. Because even though it is the same size screen as that Vizio was, it isn't as bulky and is three-times less the weight. Example, two people were needed to carry the Vizio box. I could carry the Insignia box by myself.
Also, my Insignia has more device hook-ups than the Vizio had. The Insignia has, the cable tv hook-up, two AV spots, two component spots, the VGA(which is awesome since I use my tv as my computer monitor now), and 4 HDMI plug-ins. The Vizio only had 2 HDMI hook-ups.
So if I was rich enough to have that many devices, I could have 10 things hooked up to my tv. Still, nothing is greater than using it as a computer screen. I don't think I could go back to my little 17 inch monitor that I ended up giving away to my mom.

When I win the lottery, I will send you one. Seriously, I would be that giving if I did win the lottery. What's the point of being rich, if you don't use the money to make other people happy. I mean, if I was rich, there is only so much stuff I could buy for myself to make me happy. My actual material wants, would probably only set me back less than 100,000 dollars. So if I did win the lottery, I truly would be set for life. I seriously don't see how lottery winners go through like 100 million in a few years and go broke, that is really horrible money management.Dom Kebbell said:
Three standard definition TVs, none of which I use for gaming because I don't own a console.
On a somewhat related note, I've never understood all the hype over HD or 3D. I see no major differences between HD and standard definition, and anything 3D makes my head want to split open.

At home, there's 3 tvs in the house: 2 Hd ones, and a standard def for me and my brother's room. Seeing as that gets all the gaming I'd consider it the main one. In my new flat now we only have a standard def. Whoever made the top left description text in Red dead redemption can go fuck themselves in the ear; I have no idea what's going on.
We have a 27 inch SD Tv for the PS2/dreamcast/saturn etc and a giant fuck off 67inch HD Tv for the modern consoles and for when I need to use photoshop but I'm too lazy to get up and go to the desk.
i have 3 SD tvs and no HD tvs. if i watched more tv or played my playstation more i might get a hd tv.
but i play my pc more for games and maybe cause i havent watched much hd tv a sd tv doesnt seem that bad but i bet if i got a hd tv i could never go back to SD
