Yea Fred, it's amazing how quick we got used to these big TVs. It wasn't all that long ago I was buying a HUGE 4:3 32" Sony CRT "flat screen". It had to be delivered because it weighed 285 pounds! Now I'm sitting here convincing myself that my 50" plasma is too small.
Matt, you are the voice of reason. My old Panasonic is still pretty nice.
