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.

Thanks for the replies. I don't often need too much encouragement to get a new piece of electronics so the validation of that notion is exactly what I was hoping for.

In looking at new plasmas, I see 55" plasmas in panasonic at $1200 and $2500 which both seem to be 1080P and 600hz. Where is the extra $$ going for the more expensive plasma tv's? I don't mind spending extra if it will give me a better picture but it seems like there may be other differences.
I ended up with a panasonic 60" gt and got it all set up today. So far it is awesome. Thanks for the help.
