Default HDTV: the end for servicers?



I have often wondered what the tv would look like if it were designed to
meet the following criteria, and how much it would cost to build.
1. Money is not a consideration. Manufacturing cost is not a

consideration.
2. Best possible picture, using existing technology.
3. Most reliable circuit design.
4. Highest quality components available.
In other words what would it cost to make the best, most reliable set.

I
only want to sell you one that will last forever.
5. Of course in the unlikely event this set ever does fail, say 40 or

60
years from now, it must be serviceable. No proprietary parts, or
unavailable service manuals, etc.



HP made a TV monitor once that would come close to your specs.
IIRC it was around $1200 in 1970 dollars. Yipes.
