Um... the way I look at it, I could've paid about 3000e for a puny 30-40" wide screen TV, or 2-3 times as much for a plasma display (and that's still pretty nasty to lug around), or about 2000e plus 350e every two years for a small, light unit that gives me a wallful of eye candy. By the time the price gets even, i'll be changing equipment anyway.
Your prices in the US will vary, but the proportions shouldn't be too far off.
