Besides Plasma TV's being way over the top price wise.....they have to be shipped back to the manufacturer and recharged every few years to the tune of a few thousand dollars.....sorry cowboys......no sale here.
Plasma TV's cannot be recharged, once it goes, time to get a new one.
Knew about the shortcoming, but just had to get that 50 inch

only thing cost 10k for the new toy, been about year np, also have a 42 inch about 2 y/o also np. only use mine for movies anyway.
but at least they were easy to bring home, not like a taking a 60 RP set out of the box and setting it up uggg.
but anyway check out this site.
