cp,

I see you point...however, there are alot of 4 to 5 year old DLP, Plasma and LCD's out there.

Just like your 60" XBR1...they will begin to have issues...and the cost to fix them will be prohibitive.

The days of the family Zenith lasting 25 years are over. My guess is most folks will be buying & replacing their TV's every 5-6 years.
