The Big Switch -- Digital to Analog TV

Gallery Furniture is ready for the switch to digital television -- are you?

You've probably heard a lot about the switch to digital television -- and you'll hear more as February 17 approaches.  That's the day when analog TV, the kind of TV we've known for the last 50 years, goes away and the new digital transmission system takes effect.

That means you'll have to get a digital-to-analog converter to continue to see over the air television on your old analog-only set.  (You don't need to do anything if you're on cable or satellite. Learn more about digital television at the Federal Communications Commission web site www.dtv.gov.)

A lot of people are taking this opportunity to buy a new high definition television that can receive digital signals and let you take advantage of high definition signals.  If that's you, Gallery Furniture is ready to help with a large selection of HDTVs from Sony, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, and other manufacturers.  Not to mention the surround sound systems will make watching television a  new experience in sound as well as sight.

When you get that new television, make sure you've got a place to put it.  An old entertainment center may not be big enough for that big screen TV you want, and a small screen that will fit the old unit may not give you the high definition experience you crave.  That's why Gallery Furniture has a huge selection of new entertainment centers and television consoles designed for the bigger televisions.

Take a look at the new plasma consoles from HTD.  Make from solid plantation grown mango wood, these TV consoles are good looking, functional, and tough. 

You may prefer a wall unit.  If that's the case, Gallery Furniture has them from top notch manufacturers.

Even better, Gallery Furniture's home theater experts can help you match the right entertainment center to your new HDTV, and our crack delivery teams can get both of them set up in your home tonight.

The big digital to analog TV switch is nothing to worry about, in fact it's  your chance to move up to a great home theater experience instead of just watching TV!

Gallery Furniture is ready to make it happen for you.

Gallery Furniture Customers are DEFINITELY Like Family

Today, Gallery Furniture had one customer, Lynn Wright, who came by to buy a Toshiba 52" TV (on sale now at Gallery Furniture at the 46" price!) so she could play Wii Fit Bowling, she stopped her Electronics Expert Adan Gutierrez to ask for Gil from the Marketing Section.  Adan didn't know why, but he went got Gil and said "Hey, Gil, there's a monogram lady here to see you!"

Gil knew who it was and went with Adan to meet Lynn and her sister Winona and nephew Cory (Winona and Cory drove in from Orange because they wanted to visit Gallery Furniture since Cory had never been here) and while it was Winona that wanted to shop, it was Lynn that took a home a new HDTV!

Adan then learned how they knew each other.  "I've been doing business with Lynn for a while, she does some personal monogram work for me," Gil told Aggie Intern Sofia, "she's right over by where I live - her shop is in the Rice Village - and she's a great person, I am glad to see her shopping at Gallery Furniture!"  Turns out that Lynn's monogram business, Monogram Market & More, has done work for schools, churches, and many fraternities and sororities at Rice University.  And Lynn has the same customer service values that Gallery Furniture does, saying "It's important to get the job done right!"

Lynn had some pretty kind words for Gallery Furniture: "It's an experience.  It's just that simple to say - it is an experience.  My nephew Cory had never been here before and he said this place is just amazing."  Turns out that Lynn was replacing a TV she had previously bought from Gallery Furniture years ago, which sits on a piece of furniture she also bought at Gallery Furniture years ago.  "I'm very excited, I am having the TV delivered tomorrow since I'll be busy today!" 

As to her Gallery Furniture Electronics Expert Adan, Lynn had some nice words: "Adan was just wonderful!" and then went on to say "I love it here, they have cookies and cold drinks and the folks that work here make you feel like you are right at home!"

Gallery Furniture's customers do feel at home because they are part of the Gallery Furniture family, and Lynn is no exception - and like a smart Gallery Furniture shopper, she took advantage of the in-home electronics service plan to protect her television and extend help beyond the manufacturer's one year warranty!

Above, from left to right, Gil, Lynn from Monogram Market and More, and Gallery Furniture Electronics Expert Adan.

A Gallery Furniture Investment

Many things can damage your electronics and there is no way to prevent incidents such as lighting.  Gallery Furniture provides the next best thing with an In-Home Service plan for electronics to protect your investment.  It is a 3 year warranty that covers what manufacturers don’t (except light bulbs).  The way it works is that if anything goes wrong with your Television you call Gallery Furniture service team and tell them the problem.  They contact a technician in your area that will go to your home to fix the problem.  It’s that easy!  Plus, if you don’t use the In-home Extended Service Plan within three years, you don’t lose that money, like with other warranties, it becomes in-store credit for the amount of the In-Home Service Plan!

The Sanchez family came to Gallery Furniture five years ago and being the smart customers that they are they purchased the Gallery Furniture In Home Electronic Service.  Fortunately they never had to use it. They came in to Gallery Furniture today to look at TVs because Mr. Sanchez really wanted to watch the important Football games on a big screen TV.  They just came to look because they were low on cash and thought their In-Home Service credit was expired, like with other stores.  When they arrived they were excited to find out that the money was still there in their account!  The Sanchez's decided to immediately purchase a 50” HD TV!  They whole family was excited and couldn't wait to take it home and try it out!

There you have it folks, the GALLERY FURNITURE 3 year IN-HOME Service plan for electronics is an investment.  Come to GALLERY FURNITURE, Houston’s #1 store between Tidwell and Parker.

The Only Place Worth Visiting

Bob is an Oklahoma State University alumnus who moved to Texas after college and has been living in the Lone Star state since. Originally from the Woodlands, their method for furniture shopping has been to go down I-45 and stop at every furniture store they see. Bob and his wife have spent the last six months refurnishing their home and after all that time shopping, they’ve learned their lesson – Gallery Furniture is the only place worth stopping.

Bob, as many Houstonians have, bought a TV from one of our competitors because they were having a ”sale.”  Bob thought for sure he would get his HD TV in 3 to 5 days, but after he paid he was informed that the TV wouldn’t be available until next year!  Bob was so disappointed he decided to get his money back instead of waiting. Disillusioned on his way home, Bob remembered that Gallery Furniture has a wide variety of electronics. He decided to stop by, and found the same TV at the same exact price!  But of course, because he bought from Gallery Furniture, he got to take it home TODAY!  His children were so excited, they “are bouncing off the wall” Bob said.

Bob said “the price, the quality” are best here and he loves that Gallery Furniture makes good on promises made.  Bob is also a big fan because of Gallery Furniture’s commitment to community involvement – “Gallery Furniture always helps my kids school, St. Edwards, on their biggest fundraiser of the year”.

So for all your furniture needs – chairs to mattresses, rugs to televisions – don’t waste your time at other furniture stores this holiday season. Come straight to Gallery Furniture, where you can buy it TODAY, get it TODAY!

Continental Flys Higher with a New TV!

This past Tuesday we Gallery Furniture had a very special visitor drop by. Kip Komidor from Continental Airlines stopped in to replace a TV that Gallery had donated 8 years prior, after their original had been stolen on Christmas Eve.  Actually, Gallery donated all of the furniture for the Continental crew’s lounge back in 2000, and they were so satisfied with the pieces that there was never a question where to visit to replace the TV.  “The pilots are very appreciative of the furniture and have really enjoyed taking quick naps on the relaxing oversized sofas,” Komidor tells Gallery Furniture. 

After 8 years of flawless service, the TV finally bit the dust. Looking to buy a new one for the crew’s lounge, Komidor headed right over to Gallery Furniture. Once he introduced himself and told his story, Mack was adamant about donating a TV to replace the one that recently broke. A new Mitsubishi 60” DLP TV will be installed in their crew’s lounge shortly. Gallery Furniture truly appreciates the pilots and has built a strong relationship with Continental Airlines. We are always happy to see Continental Employees shopping in Houston’s number one furniture store!
