space
I live in a very small apartment so space is at a premium. When I consider buying anything I first have to take into account how much space it will take up. Recently I've entertained the idea of buying a television and was aiming for something either 19 or 20" in size.
Tube televisions are out. Too bulky. So I checked out the LCD tv's. These things are still way too expensive. It makes absolutely no sense that they are almost double the price of tube tv's.
I just can't see myself spending $400+ right now for a tv.
Fuggit. Not that important.
