An article in today's Wall Street Journal talks about falling prices.
40+ inch sets go for $700 or so and prices are dropping before
Christmas.

It wasn't HD, but it was big screen. In 1979, I bought a front projector
50 inch Mitsubishi. I talked them down from about $3,000.00 to $2,150.
Of course $2,150 was a lot of money 31 years ago.

It had three really big projection CRT's, and a mirrored door on the
front. The image was projected by the CRT's onto the mirror, then up to
a curved silver-gray metallic screen. It had a very nice picture, but
the brightness faded significantly over time. I had it for about 10-12
years. Eventually, I gave it to a local elementary school. The kids
loved it for cartoons.

How much were reasonable sized HDTV's way back before my purchases?

I bought a 46" Hitachi RP HDTV around superbowl time 2005 for ~$1200 at
Sears. My wife can't wait to get rid of it and buy a plasma or lcd that we
can hang on the wall but I still like the picture.

All:
A few months ago,I bought a used but still very nice looking and workable Samsung 40" LED TV
UN40B6000. Due to the need of this seller, I was able to get it for only $650. It worked great; but I
accidentally damaged a small part of the display; so, I then sold it . I have since bought a Samsung 46"
LED UN46B6000 for $800 and a Samsung 32" LED UN32B6000 TV for $700. Not bad for someone
who looks around the internet. :-)

I do hope you thoughtfully please your wife at Christmas with, say a 58"
Samsung Plasma, which is what I got last year, and it's a beauty. Dunno
about wall installation, though; mine's next to the wall on a table. The
short throw swivel is useful.....

Philips 42" Plasma, CIRCA 2006 - $1,000 (Refurbished)

After 6 months the image retention was so bad, I sold it to some
college kids for next to nothing.
