I seriously doubt that I'll still be watching the same Plasma panel in
50 years time, and not because it's burnt out, but rather because it's
been replaced or I'm dead!

It's a fact that LCD response times are much less than Plasmas. You're
not too good with facts either I see.

The 'direct benefit' is a better picture, as I've stated ad nauseam now.

I know what I like and what I want. Perhaps you should go watch
something on your LCD instead of engaging in pointless argument on usenet?

Or more commonly the power supply has failed and you choose to replace the
TV rather than the power supply when you find out the cost!
Not that LCD's are much better in that regard though. Plenty of both have
been thrown away while many older CRT sets keep on going.
(and even plenty of working CRT's thrown away when they are replaced with
big flat screens)

And not just by big screens either. I want to replace some smaller CRT's
with flat panels, eg. dining room, bedroom, etc.,but what to do with the
CRT's? I'm a hoarder by nature and hate disposing of perfectly good
equipment. Guess I'll have to ask friends if they want them. I still
have VCR's in perfect order, but no one wants those.

If you have a good VHS-HiFi unit, I'll have it. Still have plenty of old
tapes not available on DVD.

Where are you? I don't know if any are HiFi tho. I'd have to check.
Mr.T
> Where are you?
Melbourne, and it's not worth shipping around the country of course.
>I don't know if any are HiFi tho. I'd have to check.
Need HiFi for all the music video's I have. I still have 3 units with head
or other problems. :-(
