And they don't hold up worth SHIT!! Believe me I KNOW this...I work on them EVERY DAY, at least one or two, and HATE them, as do ALL of the techs I work with!! Even though they are MUCH less expensive than merely 7 years ago(about 75% LESS than then), and are a bit less power hungry...they STILL break a LOT burn VERY easily(I had a channel on one for a few hours, it had the weather on the bottom, and it DID change some, but it STILL burned the bottom--though it WAS removable), are VERY fragile, and on and on. The Y-sustain boards, Buffers, and panels STILL fail a LOT, just like in 2003 and such. Thank GOD we repair them at BOARD LEVEL.

Admittedly, now you can get a 50" full HD plasma for UNDER 1K, but it it STILL a bad investment, in my opinion.
