You should be able to recycle it.

I drank the cool-aid. We have a 55" that we watch High Definition on. We don't go to movies, but watch them at home so that was our motivation for big screen
What sold me on HD was watching a PBS special on hummingbirds, in ultra slow motion, in high def... blew my mind. The nature shows in high definition are awesome.

If you ever have a chance to catch this in high def DO IT,

I have one gathering dust in the former workout room downstairs. Neither one of us is physically capable of carrying it upstairs and out for recycling! We will have to sell the house to someone healthier and they can deal with it.

Wherever someone lives, their county solid waste management district should have instructions for disposal. You might be able to take it to their facility, or you might have to wait for an annual household hazmat day.

We had one up until last year. It was a nice one, HD (orignal HD...no where near today's standards of course) and it was 37". That sucker rivaled our piano as the biggest pain to move! More than once, I was tempted to drop it just so that we'd have an excuse to buy a new one but I was afraid it would crush my foot or something if I did.

We tried to sell it in a yard sale for $10 but no one would have it. We couldn't even donate it as neither Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity would take it (which is where all the rest of our unsold furniture went). We ended up taking it to the trash guys and added it to the monitor recycling pile. Cost us $25 just to get rid of it!!

We have a very small house, so we ended up with a 42" flat screen LCD. We wanted an even smaller one for our garage in the workout space, but they were hard to find! We ended up ordering a 32" online because we couldn't find one around here anywhere.

A couple of years ago I got a 27" flat screen HDTV to use as my 2nd computer monitor. When I'm not working, I can switch it to TV mode. I have an antenna and pick up about 15 channels. Before that I didn't have a tv at all. I watch some show on the channels and a couple on hulu. It's plenty big for me.
