TV is Purchased

So my wife and I have just returned from our honeymoon and realized we have so much time on our hands now. I mean, we don't have to discuss planning the wedding anymore so are we to do!?

We definitely need a TV and an Internet subscription...

We went out and shopped for a TV before getting married as well. I was pretty convinced on a Samsung 60" LED. They have a nice picture quality but are a little expensive. We decided that we did not need 3D or Smart TV as I have a Playstation 3 that can do all my Smart TV functions anyway. The only reason I was tempted to get both those features is because, in general, you get a better processor in the TV. Anyway, after a more serious search I came across a beautiful television. It had an excellent picture, 3D and Smart TV capabilities and cost quite a bit less than a Samsung model in the same category. It was the Sony Bravia 60R550A. We discovered this beauty the day after we came back from our honeymoon. I was in love. It was on special as well at Future Shop and is still on special until Thursday. I did not rush into buying it as I wanted to read some reviews on it. Almost all were positive and every single one mentioned the beautiful picture quality. So we purchased the TV last Sunday. It will be delivered to us (free of charge) on Friday! I can't wait! We got a great deal on it. It was on special for $1,942.49 including that electronic fee thing the government is imposing now. Anyway, we bargained down the price to $1,710.99 plus tax. We also took the extended warranty I have heard of some horror stories with the new televisions. The warranty set us back $379.99 plus tax.

All in all I think we did a fantastic choice. We stayed well within our budget and got features that are only included in some more expensive TVs. You can be assured that when I plug that baby up I will post some pictures and maybe a small amature review. All that's left now is to buy a TV bench for it!
