TVs keep getting so much cheaper so fast, I keep putting off purchasing a new one. I still have a 9-years-old 640p(ish) 42-inch TV mainly used to rotate through my photo collection. It's still "good enough" and I don't watch that much TV on the big screen anyway, although once my daughter gets older I'll probably finally bite the bullet and get a modern, high end TV.
If I want to watch something with high resolution and good color accuracy, my iPad has been fulfilling my needs just fine. Feels surprising to say that, considering a few years ago I was poo-pooing the iPad and people who watched tv/movies on them.
