My husband is big into the plasma tvs…he would switch all of our tv’s with plasma tv’s if I would let him. But I like my regular tv that I have. He prefers the flat screen which is great but why would I want to replace something especially a big item like a TV when the tv that I currently have is working fine and does not need to be replaced. I am sure in a few years I will need to replace it since it is 12 years old but until then…I’ll keep the big bulky tv
