All of which doesn't change the fact that a TV at 1/4th to 1/8th the price would have more than sufficed. I don't disagree with a market economy... I disagree with excess. To me, purchasing a TV for 8x the needed amount simply because it's "cool" doesn't meet justification; it's excessive and repugnant.
By the way, I challenge you to sit down and consider exactly how much of the $1200+ the Mexican gentlemen that built the unit actually receive as compensation. I firmly believe that there are better places for my money to go than to support golden parachutes, showroom overheads and retail insurance policies.
But that's MY "liberal drivel" speaking, not yours. We seem to sit on opposite sides of that political spectrum. I don't mind... I'm in great company.
