Somebody will give you a couple hundred $$ for your old one.

That's the nature of technology, there's always something bigger & better. 5 years is an eternity for tech, you got 5 years of use out of it so be happy.

You got 5 years of use out of it so don't feel too bad. Think about how slow a $2,000 PC from 2000 is today with its screaming Pentium 3 CPU.

My brother just sold his old 55" on eBay to a local buyer -- he only got $350 for it, but it made room for his new 61" Samsung DLP.

I keep giving my brother a hard time for only having a 27" TV but he doesn't want to get ride of his TV stand etc...

How wide is the stand? A 46" DLP is only 43" wide and only weights about 75 pounds.

Nope, I never bought one.

Bought a Toshiba Cinema Series 27" back in 2000, been using it ever since.
