It is only through extreme arrogance that you presume to tell someone else what would "suffice" or what is "needed" or what is "excessive". The arrogance you promote is anti-ethical to individual liberty. Each individual makes their own decision as to what they need and what is excessive. At that point they are on their own in their efforts to procure those things.
IIRC, I believe the WEGA TVs are so heavy due to the glass and technology used to produce its flat screen. Sony also manufactures special TV stands designed for this extra weight, as well as adding support straps.

Quote: 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.
