Ha, Black Friday around the corner and daily deals at the likes of BestBuy etc. Buy new. Your biggest hassle may be simply getting rid of the old set. Price to fix versus new with warranty, not even close.
Should I fix my plasma?
My 2005 vintage philips plasma 50" has a wide splattering of black dots all over the screen. These sometimes go away after 30 minutes but sometimes they stick around for a couple of hours after I turn on the tv. When the spots are gone the picture is gorgeous. Would it be better to just get a new tv or try to have this one fixed? I wouldn't mind getting a 1080p upgrade and maybe even going bigger.
