There's a LOT of other things that I'd rather spend seven grand on if I had seven grand.

LCD and Plasma pretty much suck next to a CRT. Laser is the only thing that stands up to it. This is why I have not budged.

If it makes you feel any better, my stereo, though still not finished, is about double that.

That's nothing. I couldn't even buy one speaker of the type I really want for that amount of change. 1 really good speaker will run you $40K. Of course you need 2 minimum, and 4 would be ideal.

That's built over time too, since my wife would kill me if I brought it all home at once. A couple K here, or a K here is much more unnoticed! I need more stuff though.

They are going to debut cheaper than plasmas of similar size and the price can only come down.
