Did they have LCD at that time? I honestly can't remember.

I didn't think so, the first thing I remember was the DLP TV's. Maybe they did and I just knew not to shop in that section. But i used to spend alot of time in Best Buy, and I've never seen a $5,000 TV that looked like that.

So, according to Reddit, which may or may not be accurate. You could buy a 42" Phillips Flat Screen TV for $7,499.00 in 2001. What the fuck do I know? All those rich bastard shopping in the hidden areas of Best Buy and Circuit City....

I was thinking maybe if it was like the very first LCD a size that big may have been pricey as hell. DLPs were out probably but those were bigger.

I remember the special high end rooms at Best Buy were my favorite at that time. I can also remember when my parents got a big screen projection TV (probably like 55 inches or 60) and my friends all thought we had the coolest house.

I bought my first TV ever at Service Merchandise. Yes, I am that old. I was returning an engagement ring. It was from a very close call to say the least.

A guy sits down in a diner and asks for a bowl of hot chili. The waitress says, "Sorry, but the gentleman next to you got the last bowl".

He looks over and sees that the guy has finished his meal, but the bowl of chili is still full. He asks, "are you going to eat that chili?" The guy replies, "No, here you go, help yourself" and slides the bowl over.

The guys starts to scarf down the chili, thankful that it is still hot. When he gets about halfway down, his spoon hits something. He looks down and sees a cutoff finger at the bottom of the bowl and immediately pukes everything back into the bowl.

The gentlemen next to him looks over and says, "yeah, that's about as far as I got, too".
