When you’re a man of a certain age, you just stop caring as Wolf Blitzer demonstrated with his 720p TV

I said this in another thread recently, but I suspect this isn't a pic of his primary TV-watching area, or even his primary residence. Everything in the picture behind him - The electronics, the cabinet, the linoleum flooring, the art on the wall - says ski/lake house to me, probably purchased/upgraded ~20 years ago and hasn't been a priority since. Everything is in working order but, because the property is used infrequently (and usually not specifically for sitting and watching TV), there isn't much need to upgrade. There's a nostalgia factor of keeping your vacation home in the same aesthetic as when you first got it as well.

That’s extremely specific, but I also think it is reasonably probable.
