If I am not stuck with a bill of $500 or more, I would rather get this
fixed. It would be a real chore just to remove this thing. It must
weigh 350 lbs at least. And I really like the TV. I don't see
anything equivalent in size and picture quality until you get to about
$2,500 or more. I would like to NOT have that type of bill right now.

Just want to pass another thing by you-all. It would appear to me that
we are in a state of great change in television technology what with
CRT, LCD, DLP, Plasma and the various ways they project them. Not to
mention the aspect ratios (which don't seem to be standardizing from
what I can see), and the switch from the old FCC frequencies for
transmitting to the new ways of getting the information into your home
(satellite, cable and what not). Then there are the various levels of
HDTV... You see where I am going.

What I am getting at here is that I thought that now is not a great
time to settle on a new TV. I thought that a couple of more years
might provide a better focas on what would be the best way of going
before I switch to a new TV. The prices are starting to come down now
also. I also know that technology is always changing, so the question
really is, are we in the greatest time of change and I should let the
dust settle some, or will this be business as usual and I should
consider a change now?
