I've been kind of intrigued by plasma TVs b/c of how much less they cost than LCDs. However, my parents have a plasma and it developed a red vertical line on the screen b/c of a faulty circuit and now they swear to never buy a plasma again.

I think for my parents, they would rather keep the cost down than buy a better looking tv. But would dropping down to a 46" that looks better be worth it?
