I would prefer to stick to tube color sets from now on. At least I know I can service them. What's the point of finding a great flat panels TV only to have to throw it out in a few years because parts are not available.

That why I settled on a Sharp Aquos. It was the only LCD set I found that I could actually buy replacement backlight lamps for after the originals go too dim to be useful to light up the LCD screen. I can just take the back off and replace them myself. It's also the reason I chose it over a limited-life plasma screen. Otherwise, the internal electronics are just as serviceable as any standard set and if I bust the LCD screen, well, I'd be just as screwed as if I busted a large CRT. New TV time...
