We dont have one and at this stage we dont plan on getting one. We have an old Tv , maybe 15 years old. It was in the house when we bought it, previous owner said we could have it, so we kept it. It works fine so why waste our money to replace it.

We don't have one in our house, but I think because DH and I were so overwhelmed with all the options. We recently bought an el-cheapo tv from Kmart - a boxy thing (only because our 16 year old tv died) When you're at the shop comparing them, the big expensive ones look great, but when you're at home with one tv to watch and nothing to compare it to - it looks great as well.
We don't have one and won't get one until our old TV claps out.
We have a small one in our bedroom, and that's because our old bulky one bit the dust, and we couldn't find another like it on the market with 2 sets of AV jacks 'in' to connect our set top box and our dvd player. DH was really unhappy about having to buy a new, fandangled, energy-burning flat screen! Lol!
I am probably the one who would be happy to replace our old TV with a flat screen even now but I know DH will never go for it. He's the kind of man who won't let me turn our 5-star energy-rated gas heater up any higher than 20 degrees because it'll unnecessarily use power. So when I complained about how cold it still was in the house, he bought me a sleeping bad instead for me to wear when I'm watching telly at nights!
When we had some extra dosh recently, he signed up to get photovoltaic cells put on our roof over a new TV.
on a side note - I know of one wonderful woman on here who doesn't have a tv and her family doesn't suffer from not having a tv .... let alone a flat screen
