Hey, there's absolutely nothing wrong with holding on to a TV that has served you well. Before I got the LG 32 inch I had a big CRT Grundig that looked like it could crush a man by being dropped on him (I remember struggling - and I mean STRUGGLING! I'm 9 st (126 lbs) - damn thing was nearly heavier than me!) up the stairs to my bedroom with it, hoping desperately to the telly gods that it wouldn't fall on me! That set lasted me for a good ten years, then one day it just waved bye-bye, and I was forced into the world of flatscreens. But you don't by any means have to be the sort who changes your set every other year. I only ever changed when it was necessary. You get used to your TV and sometimes it's almost like you're betraying it by getting a new one...
