If I get a big enough TV, I'll never have to dust again!

[Robb]

Since I've noticed the TV tends to be the dustiest thing in the house, my thinking is to get a huuuuuge television, big enough to attract all the dust to its massive screen.

Whaddaya think? You married guys are jealous, I know. :P

1. Sounds like a

really good rationalization for buying a big TV to watch the superbowl.

2. LCD screens attract dust?

CRTs do because of their massive static discharge.

I haven't enough experience with LCD (or even LSD, contrary to popular belief), but I don't recall LCD screens generating enough static electricity to collect all that dust.

3. It'd have to be a CRT for this purpose...

4. My large screens don't attract dust like the old glass screens...

The cabinet still attracts dust though. And since the cabinets are so large, they do tend to pick up most of the dust in the room.
