    Especially for a crappy LCD monitor. Call me crazy, but actually having the color black AND actually being able to view the screen from differnet angles are very important to me.

    And what about burn-in. Who wants to spend several thousand on a TV that WILL need replacing in three to four years?!

    My parents still use a color TV they bought in the fucking 70s!!!

    A friend of mine said a coworker dropped well over $4,000 on a top of the line plasma screen from Sony several years ago. One day, he pushed the power button, there was a fizz noise, and...that was that. He said sometimes they go dim, or parts stick on or off like a defective LCD, etc...sometimes it just doesn't turn on one day.

    A co-worker of a friend, eh? Wow! With first-hand scientific data like that, how could you ever doubt?
