Do the math for her; show your work. If you paid $250,000 for a 2500 square foot house, that's $100/square foot. If you get a flat screen TV you will reclaim at least 4 square feet of floor space. 4 square feet in the room you spend an awful lot of time in. That's $400. A 42 inch Sharp LED TV at Best Buy is $350. It's like you are making $50 by buying that TV.
The down side to this is when you watch Le Tour, the scenery will look so good on that screen you will soon find yourself shelling out for a trip to France. But you can't win 'em all!
(Seriously, the extra room you get by going to a flat screen is a big deal)
