Verizon Extends Free HD Set DealOffer ending on February 16... ( old news - 04:35PM Friday Jan 25 2008) tags: business · telco · HDTV · Verizon FIOSFor some time, Verizon has been offering triple-play FiOS customers in a number of markets a free 19-inch liquid-crystal display HDTV. We know 19" sets might as well be betamax players to many of you, but users already considering new triple-play service and in the market for an extra set might be interested to note that Verizon is extending the offer until February 16. The deal is currently running in select markets in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas, Indiana, Florida, California, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware and the Philadelphia area. Verizon on Monday should update us with new FiOS subscriber numbers as part of their fourth quarter earnings report. Related:- 150 FiOS HD Channels in 2008

| Re: 19" TV Yeah the problem for better or worse is if you want to watch an HD *signal* on a 19" TV you'd be hard pressed to notice any benefit really. And realistically it would be even harder to see stuff unless you were sitting really close vs watching standard def.
I have a 50" Plasma and a 19" standard def CRT. From a normal viewing distance I couldn't imagine watching HD on the 19" as it would make things too small! | |

After the camera promotion it will be a new desktop PC. The brand of the PC is TBD. | |

@telus.net | computer monitor When I get my 19" Tv from Verizon it will replace my 15" flatscreen computer monitor. I also have cable outlet where the computer is, so I can still use it for basic digital cable as well. | |
