Last night I decided that Brian and I are not meant to be TV watchers, or maybe TV buyers.
Three years ago when we moved to Houston, we went to Circuit City and bought a TV (Samsung, I believe). We loaded it into the car, difficultly. When we got home and unpacked it, we noticed that the side of the tv where the speaker was was cracked and bent inwards. We went back to Circuit City to exchange it and go through the whole ordeal of unloading and getting the TV to our second floor apartment. (There were no issues with the replacement, however the sound does go out frequently which I am convinced indicates another defective TV).
Fast forward to yesterday. Our Sony HD tv that was on back order for three weeks finally arrives. Brian gets it out of the box and notices that the corner of the tv is broken. The screen wasn't affected, just the plastic covering, but who knows if it's more damaged than it's letting on. Brian of course immediately called the company (not Circuit City this time) to see what our options are...we are still waiting. At least in the mean time we can still watch HD TV. Even if the TV's casing is imperfect the screen is most certainly not!
So we are 0 for 2 as far as TVs go. I take this as a sign that we shouldn't be TV owners because really what are the chances that two TVs in a row show up defective?
