On the bleeding edge of HD broadcast, we bought a 55" Hitachi plasma back when they were lots of money. It was a great-looking set, but not natively full HD. As the years went on, things got to the point where a similar set could be had for $600 or so during the normal sale seasons. After sending it off to college with the kid, he and it returned home last summer. I had hoped it was a one-way trip. (The TV, not the kid.) We ended up donating it to a local makerspace to display the schedule for classes and upcoming events, on a continuous updated roll. It's gone off to digital signage heaven... but it's still going strong. At least I don't have to pay the electric bill for it any more.
So, not fifty years, but a good decade or so thus far.
