Don't let your old TV prevent you from buying a more advanced flat-screen or HDTV especially if you do not know What to do with your old TV. Here are some ideas on what you can do with it.
Given that it is still working, one of the things you can do with your old TV is to give it away to someone who needs it. You can also keep it in your home and put it in a room which you think requires a TV in it (i.e. the kitchen or the guest room).
If your own household does not want to concern itself on What to do with your old TV, you can just give it away to charity. Check if a retirement centre or a nursing home would want to have an extra TV in their midst. You can also hand it over to a thrift store, or if your TV is really old, consider donating or selling it to an antique store.
Most people would like to just dump the old TV in the landfill or the trash and you may also think the same way when deciding on What to do with your old TV but doing is harmful because it contains a lot of lead. Look for manufacturers or retailers with recycling programs in your area instead so you can hand over your old TV to them instead.
An old TV that is not working anymore should not be put to waste so go online to find a solution for it. While you are doing that, you may want to also check out a new TV to replace the old one at Buy TV Direct.
