Flat Screen
Televisions
Flat screen televisions are like pagan religious symbols to
all that is good and holy about postindustrial life in America.
Well, maybe replace the words good and holy with fun and
diverting. Either way, I find myself feeling the strange desire
to kneel and pray every time I pass a flat screen television in
a store. Flat screen televisions are simply awe-inspiring
devices. How does the image fit in such a thin device? It just
baffles me.
Flat screen televisions are advertised for having a vastly
superior quality picture than CRT TVs, and it’s true. The
resolution of flat screen televisions is pretty outstanding,
and they are all high definition capable. The technology for
flat screen televisions is nothing new, but it has recently
been perfected to the point where it makes a viable and even
superior alternative to CRT TVs.
The great thing about flat screen television isn’t just the
superior picture quality, but the sheer convenience of such a
lightweight television. The one thing I’ve always hated about
my large screen televisions of the older CRT variety is that
they require a crane and/or team of starving college students
to move. Flat screen televisions make owning a big TV not only
great for viewing purposes, but easy to move around as well.
And of course flat screen televisions take up a heck of a lot
less space as well. You don’t have to devote a whole chunk of a
room to your TV anymore, you can just mount it on your
wall.
There is something beautiful about a wall mounted flat
screen television. A friend of mine in the neighborhood as
recently erected one of these monuments to neo-capitalistic
corporate life, and it is certainly quite a sight. I find
myself staring at it completely enthralled even when it’s off.
Not only is it a cool device, but his flat screen television is
almost like a fashionable piece of furniture or artwork. When
it is on, its like you’re watching an animated painting.
Yes, I definitely see a flat screen television in the near
futre for me. I’ve already grown very fond of my flat screen
monitors, and its only a matter of time before I take the
plunge into the world of flat screen televisions as well. There
is no use in fighting it, I have become a product of 21st
American life; I may as well have the nifty technological
marvels to prove it.
