I have this set in the master bedroom, everynite I watch for several hours when I retire to bed and sometimes I watch during the day too, like today I watched the dolphin game while on pc too( wasnt in HD, the dolphins suck so bad). I just love films on this set. Sometimes I will watch two or three in a row plus DVD bonus materials too. I am not ashamed one bit of this, you should put an hour meter on yours to find out how much you watch and increase that number if dont have HD and upgrade to HD. There is nothing wrong with good home entertainment. I'd be embarrased to not have seen all the good films I have and have enjoyed them as much as I have with this set. If you think there is something wrong with using home theater, why do you watch "TV" at all?? jco

I think the 2-3 hours average I spend in front of the box is too much. I'd be embarrassed to own up to that. Dave At 11:12 AM 18/12/2006, J. C.
