I bet this will be well thought out :)

So, I take my fully functioning, good-as-new, 2 grand 32" WEGA TV to a stockist they'll give me 150 quid for it, against a Bravia, which probably won't do SD as many favours as the old WEGA? :? Hmm, I'll wait until HD freeview satellite comes along... (Plus I'd need to spend another couple of hundred on a new DVB-S2 receiver)

Sounds ok, considering TV's, especially CRT's are worth naff-all 2nd hand and cost more to run than a new LCD or even LED TV.

No Dave, you wouldn't. Surely you know that, so why even ask?!

I might trade in my [LIFTED] old 14" portable though. It's not worth anything, so if Comet will take it against something suitable for my bedroom, then I may come away with a very nice deal. It will also save me having to recycle the darned thing.

I only ever have one TV at a time, never had one in the bedroom, kitchen etc. The living room is the place for the TV and that is where it is.

Interestingly, my girlfriend and I are planning to move together next year and that will be the first time either of us have had more than one TV in the house! She has a 2 year old LCD HD TV and has told me that it will go in another room, my Sony WEGA CRT will go in the living room, as it produces a much better picture...
