Hi, I figure that they will be like cockroaches and twinkies and will be around forever. But if they put chips in our brains we may not need TV at all. Frightning really.

Having grown up with the medium from when it was a screen size a fraction of what is the standard today and quality of picture that was primitive to watch programming. What we get today in quantity and quality is stunning. I don't know what more progress can or will be made to further the experience. Maybe a holographic immersion in the future. But looking at the picture of the higher end tv's now almost seems unreal reality. I just want longevity to be factored into their manufacture.
In a capitalistic society ruled by planned obsolescence, don't hold your breath, friend. Quality had been forced out by profit a long time ago.
I started paying attention to small, local stores for my shopping quite a few years ago. They may be pricier, but the products have a more personal feel to them. Like I put some thought into the purchase.

Hi, I still have a small color tube tv in use in one bathroom. About the size of a large shoe box with a 10 inch screen. Roughly 15 years old and works perfectly on the CATV. I also have an original IBM CGA monitor in storage. Works perfectly as well. I have been casually looking for an original IBM PC case and would fill it with new guts. Seems that everyone thinks theirs is made of gold and wants a pound of it or so for it. As for new TV...I was in Walmart today and they are selling 4K 65 inch ones dirt cheap. 55s for $300. I saw a 120 for sale somewhere...I would need to enlarge my house to fit it. I figure I am going to wait for the brain chip implant and hope no one hacks it. Boy would they be confused if they did.
Just like other music gears, there is always going to be better TV for both music and movie experiences. For that fact, TV sales will continue to happen on Black Friday Sales. I dont see it stopping any time soon.
