We've got a 55 in. that's about 8 years old.  The CRT broke, so we bought a new LCD. (HD is awesome!)

Anyways, I now have a giant TV stuck in my living room.  I really don't want to just trash it, any ideas?

Senior Citizen Centers will take them for thier TV areas

and no Long Mike your house does not qualify as a Senior Citizen Center ;D

baseball bat  

just take it to the dump.

do it the lazy way

put it in your driveway with a sign that says free on it. it will be gone quick

Hey 4bizzle I did that with an old CD player and speaker set that worked just fine No takers with the FREE sign. So I put a sign that said FOR SALE 20 BUCKS, SEE OWNER INSIDE. Someone stole it within the hour

lmao!

We'll probably trash it.  It needs a $300 repair job to get it running right.

so when they pick up their free tv, it would only take 300 to get it going, lol

I was thinking more along the lines of giving it to a repair shop for parts?

Just do like we do. Put the new TV on top of the old broken one....

Any trade schools in your district that could use the parts, frame etc......

Me too,  You have to put worth on it.  SOmeone will buy that even if they know they will have to put 300 in it.  Its alot cheaper then a new one.  Sell it.

Not a whole lot of use for parts out of a set that old.  Come February of next year, when the world as we know it ends when TV broadcasting goes completely to digital,  there won't be a whole lot of desire for anyone to spend any kind of money to fix those old klunker big screens up.  Besides, most of the manufacturers are starting to make the parts for those sets unavailable anyway.

It's gone, we gave it away.

Did I mention that HD is awesome?
