Buy a slightly less good TV and use the rest for beer to keep you happy when watching your fav programmes!

fair comment, when i went to buy one a lot of people said the plasma
ones didn't have a great life span, in the end i got a sony lcd jobbie.

Mod the Cossie and wait for LCD TV technology to get better - way better than Plasma (much better picture definition and no need to have expensive plasma recharges!).
