My parents bought a 37" "Westinghouse" LCD HDTV back in 2006, since they had good reviews at the time. They paid around $1800 for it back then. Within the last year or so, dark semi-transparent blotches started appearing on the screen, almost as if the layers of the LCD panel were separating with age. I guess you could call it the LCD version of a color CRT cataract.

They recently replaced it with a 40" 1080P 240hz LED backlit Samsung Smart TV. The bezel around the screen is so thin that it is actually smaller than the Westinghouse it replaced, and only about 2" deep. It has wifi, surfs the web, supports Netflix, and cost $800.
LCD prices sure have fallen in the past six years.
