I would remove the television from my home if my wife would let me. Things are damn near worthless.
More or less. How long before there is no functional difference between a monitor and a TV?
There is no difference in my house. A few months ago my husband started thinking about redoing our entertainment center. We were looking at replacing the TV, reciever, dvd player {1 for unencoding so we could play our foriegn DVDs} adding a blu-ray player....and all the crap that goes with it.

In the meantime, he decided it was time to start ripping our movies. We have well over 1000 movies and tv shows on DVD {not pirated!! Best Buy has an orgasm when we show up!}...we're talking 4 bookshelves in the living room, 2 in the computer room, 1 in the bedroom. Not to mention the stuff we already tried to condence in a DVD folder, loaned out or lost behind the tv, lol. We don't have cable since everything on is garbage and everything that's not, we buy on DVD anyway.

At this point, I failed to see the logic in ripping them all to drives just to have to burn them again when we wanted to see them. And finding crap on the computer is a million times easier than trying to keep that many dvds in order. So, we ended up upgrading his computer a bit and merging our "living room" entertainment center with our "computer room" entertainment center. Crappy Camera phone pics ahead.



Now all the bookshelves are gone, the entertainment center is gone, one of the old computer desks are gone, my computer room is converted to the workout room and we have a lot more space in the living room. And he has a second monitor for web pages, music or watching TV while we game. Now to get around to crawling under the desks and zip-tying all those cables.
