In fact, I recently decided to forgo purchasing a large screen LCD, and instead kept my 18 year old tube TV. I'm sure the picture and experience aren't as great, but I'm saving a ton of energy, AND I'm not adding more toxic crap to our landfills. Johny,

To big flat screens that is. Technology and consumer demand is driving older TVs obsolete everyday. It just seems to me that soon all TVs will be big, flat, and suped up. Good article,
