Summer Shopping spree – New Trinitron and Phillips

Oh boy!, It’s practically been a busy shopping time in my home past 2 weeks. But I should admit it was not just like any other times.

We have been holding on to a standard Onida 21″ TV which is quite out of date now. We have been longing since several months to ‘upgrade’ it but was just looking for some excuse (since the Onida was in excellently good form even after about 18 years of operation 🙂 God, I love the quality of the products of those times :|).

Well at last the wait was over, one fine day, my mom and dad decided to make the move. They call me up on that day (it turned out to be a Friday) evening and asked if I was fine with a ’29” Sony flat TV’. and, they continued if I was okay with a ‘Phillips DVD player’. I thought “well fine, since the names are well known and I know there would have been a research went on behind the scenes, it should be okay”. and I wouldn’t do less than agreeing to that, but I was too curious to play with that in detail. I traveled to home immediately without any hesitation.

When I reached home I could see a majestic ‘Sony Wega 29″ (Trinitron)”‘ sitting on the table. The reason i’m excited about this is because of the legendary Trinitron technology which you would appreciate if you have come across this brief history.

Next comes the ‘Phillips DVP5150 with Progressive scan‘ which is quite state of the art with excellent support that extends till DivX, Xvid, etc… Now I don’t have to worry about converting my DVD rips to again DVDs, but just could play it with this beauty!

All this happened two weeks back (during my last visit to my hometown) From then on, it’s quite different experience I get when I watch shows/ movie in our new TV. Yes, I know these are the ‘top class’ available in the market but who cares, as long as you fulfill your delights and you are happy – it should be fine! Though there are aspirations for a LCD + Home Theatre setup 😀 , I would have to resist that decision myself till sometime in the future.

Rest assured, seems this summer will be ‘well spent’ at home! 😉
