Unbelievable!

I’ve been going the rounds of appliance stores the past few days to help the significant other in fulfilling some orders from our province. It’s a chore sometimes but what we won’t do for love right? Heh. Anyway, I’m just amazed at how much the price of flat screen TVs has fallen! 43inch plasma TVs are now being sold for around $650 bucks! What the buck! And these are not cheap imitations either. I once purchased a Panasonic Viera Plasma TV a few years buck for around $2,500 so imagine my surprise when I saw the current selling price.

The way technology is progressing never ceases to amaze me. Of course this applies to all my other gadgets as well. I once asked an iPhone vendor how much I would get if I were to sell my iPhone 3G to him. Without batting an eyelash, he said $125. Wow. That’s just, oh well.

Before I get sidetracked, here’s a list of the cheapest flat screen TVs on the market today. Of course I got these figures from the ever reliable Google search engine so sit back, relax, and have a hanky ready for your drool.
