I marveled at the black frame like bezel and how it was thin enough to hang on the wall like a picture. For me it was a dream and surly only the people with houses fit for MTV Cribs would ever have one.

Fast forward to 2007 and I got a 50" Panny Plasma for under $2,000 that was every bit as good as that $15,000 TV I dreamed of years before. Now for under $1,000 you can get a 50" plasma much better than mine.

New tech commands top dollar but if you can afford to wait you will eventually be able to afford it. It just won't be the latest anymore.
