One Eyed Monster

A couple of weeks ago, our eight year old brandless 29" TV which we purchased from Makro decided that it has reached the end of it's quota of entertaining dear hubby. The colour changed so drastically (shades of green in the middle and red on all four sides), dear hubby had to change it to black and white so that the colours would not distract him.

We called our reliable plumber cum electrical man, Mr Ong, and he changed the coil and "washed" the TV. It was okay for only one night and then the same weird colour combination turned up again. We called Mr Ong and again, it lasted only one night.

When I went away on a short trip to Kuantan, dear hubby decided to change the TV. He called BK, our "family" TV specialist, and purchased one Samsung 32" LCD TV and a DVD player.

Suddenly, there was space to walk. I used to have to squeeze in between the TV and the bed to walk to the other side of the room because the old TV was so bulky.

When I asked dear hubby what was the difference between the old and the new, he gave me two answers :- This Samsung TV is too clear and now he could see both sides. (for the old TV, even when we first purchased it, there was a slight flaw - both the vision for the left and right side of the TV tend to be cut off)
