New Purchase

Last weekend, I went out in search of an upgrade for my TV. I came home, having purchased a 37" LCD HDTV. Yesterday, I went and picked up and with the help of Lisa, managed to bring it up to my apartment and put it together.

Mind you, I thought it would be easy to just reconnect the cables and turn the TV on, which is what I thought my brother-in-law did when we put his TV together. Guess not. Seems I'm missing something. I think I have to call Comcast and actually get some sort of HD service added to my bill, even though my DVR box is already HD-ready. I swear, why can't electronics be simple?????

The back of the TV has so many color-coded options, but it seems that I don't have the right "color" cables for optimum HD-viewing. Looks like I need the red, green and purple (I think those are the colors) cables and my box never came w/ it and the TV only came w/ the damn plug. Sigh. I'll deal with it later, once I've had breakfast and gone out for a RIDE.

Here are some quick pictures I took last night:




I can't believe how big it is in my unit. Can't wait until I figure it out!
