Big Screen TV

My Space, an initiative of the last six months, nears its conclusion.  Fore half of the former study is clean, vacuumed and demarcated with a round rug that I had kept in my office.  I opted to cover the deteriorating lounge chair rather than replace it as its comfort has served me well for decades.  I have a workable desk upstairs and downstairs.  Furniture is distributed around the perimeter of the room except for the wall near the entrance which is blank.  A mezuzah, tastefully crafted by a talented friend, notes the room as fit for habitation with me as the inhabitant.  A white board, still blank, is attached by magnets to the file cabinet just to the left of my desk.

Sitting at my desk chair and in my lounge chair, I surveyed the project and declared it good.  Sitting there with no purpose is fine but having a purpose is better.  I bought a 1980's compact stereo.  Now I need to install a big screen TV with cable and DVD.  Then it's My Space. 

Been to all places that sell a lot of TV's.  A 50 or 55" model will do, though I prefer the larger one.  That's easy.  How to watch it poses more options.  I could get a wall bracket.  Not being adept at wall studs or levels this far out from Jr. High Wood Shop, I would have to hire an installer.  There are free standing units with a sufficient frame that seem economical.  I could get a wooden or glass entertainment center and place the TV on top of it or add a tabletop frame that would allow me to reposition the TV.  I will need a place for the cable box, which I will have Comcast install and while I do not watch much DVD's, the players are not expensive at all and perhaps I should treat myself to movies that I can stop whenever my attention span begins to fail.  I ordered one with shelves which should arrive next week.  Best option for now.
