Furthermore, have you seen an LCD TV that is a few years old?
I saw a 3 year old 22' Sony that was close to $ 3000 in Canada - terrible image - the blacks are all purplish - virtually unwatchable! I have an 8 year old NEC plasma which, while it has the temporary image retention problems that were prevalent in that time, the image quality is WAY better than a 3 year LCD! LCDs age very unevenly and the colors go off, in my experience, both in TVs and projectors.
