Maybe, but if your going to buy a new TV, you may as well get one that's bigger and better than what you already have, and also get a full 1080 spec big bastard!! In the UK a 40" Sony Bravia cost around £600 - £700 depending where you go.

True. But by that logic, a bigger and better screen with full 1080p resolution will probably be cheaper than what you paid for your current TV.

My wife works with a lady that wants to sell her one year old 32" LCD for $400. Problem is, I can get a 32" 1080p TV at Costco for $450-$550. That would probably be better since it's not one year old and it'll come with a warranty. I don't know how much she paid for it a year ago, but I doubt it was $400 (probably closer to $800).

Besides, I can't really get a flat screen TV just yet, as my kids like to put their sticky fingers all over our current TV. I'm forever cleaning that bloody screen!

Can't you get screen guards for that? Basically something that's removable that will at least protect the screen from dirt and fingerprints.
