You sound cheap. Who would buy ED now instead of HD?

For a 42" plasma you are looking at $5000 minimum. Anything cheaper and you get what you paid for.
You say that you already have pixels gone on your better LCD? Yeah, we don't mind looking at that black hole in our face all day every day, and still tell everyone plasma sucks and LCD is the best!
Stop shopping at Walmart,Bestbuy-Futureshop,TheBrick, etc. for all your electronic needs. Nobody will find any highend equipment at any big box crap store.
To each his own, but don't try telling everyone that plasma sucks. ElCheapo!
