[QUOTE="joetama, post: 3244198, member: 564641"] If you can't afford it, then you do have to buy something cheaper. BUT, you have to figure "why is it cheaper?". The answer is in more than the visual quality of the parts, TV's in this price range are seriously made to be 'throw away'. The idea is that if you don't spend the money on a higher quality one they will get your money when you have to buy a new one. And good luck getting it serviced...

A cheaper set you might have to buy a new TV every 1.5->2 years and it costs $800. That means it costs you $533->$400 a year. So it is only really cheaper if you get longevity out of it.
