I think only people who can't afford LED's are the people talking up Plasma's, I just do not see what your going on about with a tv that is bulky and will die rather quick. I have a LCD samsung that I bought 6 years ago. It started not wanting to turn on. Well, I went to radio shack, spent 10 bucks and bought new Compasitors. Installed them and the tv works great. Maybe if some of you knew what you where talking about then maybe I could understand. This tv I'm talking about is now a bedroom tv and I upgraded to a Samsung - 55" Class - LED - 1080p - 240Hz - Smart - 3D - HDTV. By far looked better then any plasma there and I have had no issue and games look amazing.
