These sets run hot and if anything will fail, it will be the power supply.
If you really want a bang for your buck, pick up the $1299 Panasonic Plasma which is the top rated set. Then spend $600-$800 for a nice projector and screen for movies and you`re good to go. The projectors are hard to beat for movies and HD sports. The Optoma line is probably the best for the money. Hope this helps.

Just curious - what's a good screen? I've seen real silverscreens, and I actually have an older one that's square and only about 48"x 48", but are the new ones expensive! Anything just as good, but cheaper? Or, because of technology, is such a screen not needed?
