Always had one, always watched it a lot. If you have children and your first language is not English, let them watch it plentiful (in English, with subtitles of course). It's how I got to a decent level of English early on.

Then last year, we finally got enough of these two thin white lines appearing on the middle of the screen, so we took it back to the shop. We got it on discount a year and half before, so obviously they no longer had the model, but we could pick from either a similar model or cash refund.

We went for the refund, thinking "we'll get one later". We didn't. About six months ago I bought a used projector, high quality and relatively cheap, we got netflix, my dad got me a nice stereo and speakers for my birthday January 2013, and that was that. We watch one/two movies a week, some documentaries on Finnish digital free tv. Finnish programming is truly awful.
