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.
