I think perhaps the TV had some sentimental value (which is VERY weird for me, no sentimentality for objects here usually). It was absolutely my first purchase after my divorce 12-13 years ago. I lost my wife and thus my house and ended up in a condo. That big (at the time) TV (and new VCR and DVD player, $ at the time) made me feel just a tiny bit better about my situation.
Thanks for all the replies, bought a 50" plasma which we're putting in the family room for daily viewing and moved out the old 27" Hitachi into the bedroom. It's a fair bit smaller, but liveable. It's about 26 years old, so I'm sure also on it's way out as well!
