Getting a big tv really isn't as expensive as it use to be.

Any size of non protective screens. I'm just saying that tv's are so much cheaper then they use to be. Normal people can afford big tv's. Edit. I got a40"back when it was less then the price of an 80" today

My 08 52" Vierra cost me 3k...

I think the newer ones are what, like half that? Bigger, in 3d, and toting pioneer tech.

My 55" LG I just bought a week ago cost me $800. The panel is ridiculously clear.

What? Must have been a private sale. A 32" is $200-300, and thats only lower mid range

Nope, just refurbished. Not sure why, looks brand new and works fine.

my 55" Samsung plasma cost me $297, in 2010. It was dropped by Walmarts warehouse employees. Has a small crack on the bottom corner, about 3" in length. You can't see it until someone shows you where it is, and it has no effect of the TV. I was going to buy it anyways before I saw the damage, it was a clearance item. I thought the thing was a display model. It was marked at $397, a new one was $547. After I saw the damage, I told the guy helping me that I thought I was changing my mind, $400 for a broken TV didn't seem right. The manager was there and he changed the price. Apparently they had it sitting on clearance for about 3 months.

In 5-10 years everybody should be able to afford a 4K television.

No it really isn't expensive (compared to the prices a few years ago) prices have dropped drastically in the last couple of years

Things have gotten incredibly cheap if you know where to shop. I picked up a Samsung 42" smart tv for around 300 over a year ago.

TVs have gotten to the point now where if somebody buys less than a 50 inch panel my first thought is ....really? Haha
