Default I have a chance to buy a 50 TV for 200 bucks

How do you find out if the TV is legit?


Each week I see at least one 50", or thereabouts, TV for FREE on Craigslist.

That said, projection TVs are a HUGE piece of furniture and you need a large
room to make them viable. Watching a projection TV in an ordinary room (say
12x12') looks awful.

For ordinary TVs, you should sit 3 to 6 times the screen size away from the
box. For a 50" TV, you should sit no closer than 150" away (twelve feet). Is
your room that big?

Check here for more specs:
