What's it all about, Alfie?

This morning it was time to see about installing the new TV I ordered and was delivered this week. It's a nice Sony, with good reviews, and it should last me another 10 yrs like the last one, but as with the last one, the installation of a 75" TV by myself is going to be a little bit of a challenge.

That's why I didn't try to install it when it arrived on Wednesday. Better to wait until I had loads of time, like today, to unbox it, get it all ready to go, and if I can't get it in myself, then my daughter is coming over later to help. We will see... keep a positive outlook, and don't push it... it's not small, that's for sure.

This morning I turned on the TV in the living room and there was a dark region about 40% of the screen right in the middle of the display. Now this has been a good TV for me for about 10 years, no problems at all, but this kind of thing usually means replacement, because at 70", the replacement cost is about the same as the repair cost.

I'll give it a few days, but if it doesn't clear up with some power-cycling and cable checks, then it's a goner, and I need to be looking for a replacement.
