I have the same 32" TV that we bought 10 years ago. We bought a perfectly solid TV cabinet for $100 6 years ago that is still doing just fine.

I think the perception of what needs to be thrown away these days is significantly different than it was years ago.

How does anyone not have an HD TV in this day and age? You're seriously missing out. I turned on the old 27" CRT TV in the spare room the other day and couldn't believe we used to actually sit there and watch hockey games and TV shows in that quality. It's awful.
