The frame is made of gold, and diamonds, so yeah, the guts are probably run of the mill. It's not like Rolls Royce is making LCD screens.

I think those "Prestige" sets look like cheap Crosley crap.
As Dolly Parton famously said, “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap”.

Only an ABSOLUTE idiot would pay MORE than a VERY nice house--for a tv set.

I figure not many of us pay much for our daily watchers...we just get them broken and fix them...then use them. That is my case at least...

I have never owned a new TV....All of my sets have been "frankensets". More fun watching them when you built them from the scrap pile

Man, to get jewels like that, most guys who actually want them would have to sell off the family jewels.

Ooh, I'm so close on that one, but no cigar. I've owned only one new TV, which ended up curbed when I started in this.
