My Zenith Sentry 2 19" TV is in my bedroom, but I don't use it. I put my RCA CTC185 in there too after I bought a flat screen last year, but the RCA isn't in use now either. Those CRT sets are just in storage in case something happens to the FS set. I don't want to be without TV if the flat set goes bad; in fact, I am even toying with the idea of putting the RCA back in the living area permanently if the flat set quits, not unlike what VK member Tim (Kamakiri) mentioned in a post to another thread awhile back after he put an HD TV in his living room. The set had been part of a promotion (IIRC) by the automobile dealership from which he bought one of his cars. Tim said he'd use the flat screen as long as it works, but when it quits he will put his RCA Colortrak 2000 in the living room and use it on a cable box. Tim said he isn't that impressed with HD television, and I have to say I'm not crazy about the concept myself, not after all the hype over the DTV transition more than three years ago.
