You are correct that a 15" LCD is cheap and may only last three years. However:1. While not expensive, an LCD costs more than a tube TV.
2. My expectation with a tube TV was at least a 10 year life expectancy.
3. Living in a "throw-a-way" world is getting a bit tiresome. Just doesn't seem to make long-term sense.
4. Yes I understand that a larger screen HD TV can cost several times more.
5. Developing a habit of leaving the screen on or off seems simple enough in the early stages of ownership.
6. I thought that all the compulsives here at AA would have an opinion.
Plus I know next to nothing about LCD screens

........With all due respect, in regards to point three, I suggest you get used to it or don’t purchase anything.I hope you get years of use from your 15” TV.

I went down to the local Sony "outlet" store where they sell "refurbished/returned" Sony TV's. My past expererieces with purchasing from the store had been very good -- quality (like new) TV's at a discount price.I purchased a 13" Sony CRT to go in my home office. The image wasn't as good as I had come to expect from a Sony -- I believe the guns were not aligned correctly. Unfortunately I kept the TV beyond the stated return date. When I took the TV back they graciously agreed to an exchange, but had no 13" CRT's in stock. Paying the difference for a 15" LCD seemed like the easiest route to go. So no, I did not research the above questions before purchase. The purchase was a matter of unanticipated circumstance.
