Is my plasma too old?

[mrchallenge]

Thanks for the great advice everyone.

I'm actually not really looking for a new TV at the moment. I just wanted to find out if my current TV still holds up when compared to more modern models of similar size and price range.

From what you guys are telling, my current TV is still pretty good.

I was just worried that perhaps it was out of date considering the contrast ratio is much lower than the advertised ratios of current tvs. If newer TVs are indeed better than I would look into getting a new TV, but since my TV still seems pretty good (according to you guys), and there is nothing wrong with it, I guess I'll hold on to it and continue enjoying it.

Blu Rays for the most part look excellent on my TV and it still performs like when I first bought it. I was just wondering if maybe newer TVs were even better and it was perhaps time to get an update. But from what I've read on this thread, it seems there is still nothing wrong with my 2007 plasma (other than maybe its a bit small at 42').
