Nice one very colorful and ethereal looking.

We had them play at our company christmas party, and the feedback was amazing. Unfortunately I didn't see them as I was at work!
They have a heap of stuff on youtube.......

 Cool. They make the bagpipe interesting.

I had to reread that three times to get the "Pipers". I was already thinking, "Wow, they have the Red Hots at their company Christmas, and got them to play with some bagpipe guys, weird but amazing !"

My daughter played the bagpipes as part of a band. It was okay until it was our turn to host practice night.

My eldest plays piano, when she was learning at the start, that was a headache, now she is learning the flute.......o.m.g.!

My son damn near ruined the saxophone for me, it was a relief when he moved to the drums.

The members of that group were all police and ambulance sirens in a prior life, but have re-incarnated as bagpipers because of their criminal karma.

I've recently read that bagpipes were invented by the Irish, who then discarded them and gave them to the Scots as a joke. Unfortunately, the Scots didn't get the joke.

So time for me to get a new telly. My old CRT (!) has been asking for a replace for several years now, but it has still a very decent image and I have always fond a better way to invest my money in until now. The TV is however giving signs of exhaust...
You guys are experts, so I will happily take any piece of advice you'd be kind enough to give me, as I have near to no knowledge in the area.
My couch is about 2.5m away from the TV, I heard this might be an important data for finding out the adequate display size.
The TV will be mainly used to watch ... TV, so no gaming, no professional picture viewing, no movie from the NAS, no fancy experimenting turning it to a stroboscopic light using lego mindstorms, no sick-making 3D, etc... just the basics function of displaying a video signal. I also only need one HDMI input. I watch about 2 to 3h TV/a week, sometimes more when there are interesting sports events, so the picture need not be the latest and greatest, as I am unable to spot any difference anyway.
Considering this, a thorough search yields between 100 and 200 different TVs matching these requirements. I still wonder why each brand need to have 50 different size/quality/etc.. and how they still can earn money with it, instead of having 5 to 6 sizes (with 2 low-, 2-mid, and 2-high quality for instance), but I am surely not a marketing genius either.
Enough said, you get the picture (no pun intended), so I'd be happy to know what could be a good invest.

Just don't replace it. After a while you wont even miss it and you'll have so much more time.

This is what I have been thinking all these years, hence I kept up with the goo'ol' Thomson from 2003. And 2h/week seems a reasonable time for brainless activity watching TV.

If you don't replace it what are you going to do with that corner of the room with its now pointless power and aerial socket?

Don't settle for anything less than Full HD with HD Freeview, get one with built in WiFi and Smart stuff, great for iPlayer etc.
Probably go for something of at least 42" upwards.
I bought 2 off these[^] in 2012 and they are great, so whatever the current model version would be a safe bet.

If you've got a blank wall somewhere convenient, get a beamer, and stick it on the ceiling.
A damned good beamer costs about a fifth of what a reasonably good TV costs, and gives you a genuine cinema feel, rather than a fake one.
Don't worry about screens, or petty things like wall colours and textures; the brain compensates for all that.
