Apples, meet oranges.
I’d put more faith in the consistancy and quality of a tv over a $30,000 car. Know what kind of miracle it is that systems that complex continue to function as long as they do?
I also hardly consider a disposable item, that costs about as much as it’s packaging does to manufacturer, a fair comparison for a television, but continue on.
There are plenty of arguments why not to spend big bucks on TVs, but I don’t happen to think yours hold much merit, although I’m sure they would be appealing to the people that keep making the “OMG THE GOVERNMENT IS BEHIND 9/11” threads…
