Sadly, my neighbors did that...

I have one of these (15+ yrs old), and it WON'T DIE! And of course, my wife says, "We don't need a new TV. The one we have works fine."

They produce the only Plasmas now.
Every other manufacturer has pulled out of the plasma marketspace.

My first venture into the world of Plasma/LCD/LED.
Anyone have any tips, suggestions, or advice is appreciated.
So far from my light recon work, the Panasonic 50" Plasma is the leader.
50" is fine, even a bit small for picking up the full detail of 1080 at that distance.

Lechner's a bit nutty, but it's kind of hard to argue with him once you read his credentials.

Wow! 15 years old. I don't think I've ever kept a TV for more than 5 years. I'd find an excuse for it to die! Maybe a little assisted tv suicide
:-)
I just convinced my wife we needed a new TV because of the federal mandate changing all broadcast TV to digital - and we have satellite!
