Concentrate!

Mr Tink is an AV technician. He despairs at my refusal to get a bigger TV, an HD TV, a sound bar or any of the whizzy latest technology. Honestly I can't be bothered. I'm not the biggest TV fan anyway but what the hell do I want a bigger screen for. My eyesight isn't failing ... yet.

I don't have a TV in my bedroom either and wouldn't want one. Whenever I stay in a hotel and there's a TV in the room I have no discipline whatsoever with regards to putting the light out. When I'm home I listen to the radio for a while and then turn it off, crash out and sleep like a log as it's less of a stimulus.

When I moved here I bought a 32" TV but when that met an early grave I bought a 39" one. To be honest, it doesn't look a lot bigger because the surround is a lot thinner than the old one but, more importantly, it doesn't dominate the lounge. It does have HD but as I don't often watch DVDs it wouldn't have mattered if it didn't have.

I do have a large lounge but I wouldn't want a TV the size of the TSV because it would be like being at the cinema so I'd have to buy shares in a popcorn company.
