You can't get much wire from the TVs made in the last 20 years or so.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, but if you don't want to spend $$$$ on a new HDTV, just pick up a CRT type television with the largest screen you can find. Well, not literally "pick" up...the larger ones weigh well in excess of 100 pounds and will require 2 people to move them.
I have a 36 inch Toshiba in the living room...it weighs 165 pounds...cost me a whopping $5 plus gasoline to pick it up (gas was cheaper last fall)...had to resolder several points on the PC board, but now it works like new again and I will use it, with a converter box, until it wears out.
