They don't cost $1000 You can get a 32" for around $600 and the smaller ones in the 300 to 400 range.

There's a significant savings on electricity too over the old CRT ones. Same with monitors.

Hope this helps to ease the pain.

did you get your discount coupons to get the converter boxes.. you can get 2 from your local pbs station (usually).. and then buy the converter where they sell them...i placed my order over the phone...

i heard the reason for switching to hdtv was to free up the airwaves that tv is currently transmitted on for law enforcement and the military... i wonder why the current airwaves the police use isnt enough?
