Yeah... I am hanging on to my old clunker. The prices on the new ones will continue to come down. After I got it fixed, the guy said the fix was with a far better part than came with the TV and it would last a LONG time... since the post below, prices have dropped by around 70%.

Well, I bought two 27" Philips TVs at Walmart a year ago last September fer a couple a hundred bucks each. One fer me, one fer Mum. Not long ago, within a few weeks, they both messed up in the exact same way. Warranty?. Hahahahahaaa! Shoulda said right on the sale sign, sommat like "After 30 days, good luck".

So, I am gonna get Mum one a them there LCD TVs. I can still watch mine until football season and then just swear at the TV a lot. I do have a back up, when it works.

Soooo... tell me what I should know as I shop around.
