  G-d knows how old it is, we got it back when it just appeared... it is way outlived its expected service life, and still going strong.
  
  Only one issue - since it spends probably 80% of its time on Fox News channel, its logo is now burnt in, visible on light background. Plus there is ONE dead pixel.
  
  Amazingly, it still produces wonderful picture with right material.
  
  I prefer to spend my gadget money on fancy guns. I think I have done my share of being an early adopter of video toys.

    There is nothing better I've seen, except certain projector systems which are not practical for me. Better get all the guns you can before Obama tries to round up gun owners and shoot them.

      Their work is available on Internet, so I suspect when ours croaks, we will get a 60" smart one, and at that time I will replace the player too - so I too might become a BR junkie at that point! :)

          I actually think the Hungarians are joyful people, I lived among them in the part occupied by the USSR, and were they also the first ones to give finger to Moscow, with their capitalistic reforms.
          
          They also make great Tokay... :)

            expecting to see nothing but slatterns held up by overweight men in food-slathered clothing, reeking of cheap brandy, and stumbling about with perpetual scowls.
            Tokaj? I've loved it since college when it was mentioned in a Balzac novel.
