To fix or not? that is the question!

I agree with the first part. But at least get someone to diagnose the problem and give you an estimate. It might only be a couple of hundred bucks. If it's much more than $500 then ditch it and start shopping. Have you checked out the deals at Costco? Harky mentioned the Sony Bravia - GREAT TV!!!

If you have to buy a new one Costco is a good choice but with a limited selection...

NICE THING THOUGH is the "90 day no questions asked return policy"

remember to keep the box

I agree. Costco is good, so is Samsclub. Even Walmart has some nice LCDs, but for the same priced at Sams you can get an equivalent TV with a few more features.


Check out VIZIO - Those TVs rock and are dirt cheap.

remember to take along a good porn tape or dvd to make sure it looks good on the set before bring it home !!!

I used to own stock in Costco so I followed to company a lot more then I do now. But, up until recently Costco had a year (or maybe two) warranty on there plasmas. If it broke you took it in and they would give you a new one. People caught on to this and would return their TV just to get a new one with all the latest updates. Like all good things that came to an end.
