I'm surprised most Saabers seem to view this as an all-or-nothing proposition. If I had to generalize (which, trust me, I loathe doing) I'd say us Saabers are a relatively practical lot. So why not compromise? Buy the new TV, but not necessairly the newest model with the most features. You can splurge on a purchase but still save some money doing it. Identify the features you care more about and don't spend more on the bells and whistles that sound impresive but that you won't use or appreciate (e.g., consider LCD or DLP instead of Plasma). And shop around for a good deal. You can be sensible and cost conscious and still buy things you want.
