Last month the wife and I bought a new 47” LG for less than half of what we paid for a same-size Toshiba three years ago. And we thought we got a great deal on the Toshiba after exhaustively hunting down bargains. How much did your Sharp cost if I may impudently and rudely ask? You are allowed to give a rude and impudent answer as well ...if you so choose.
I noticed some off-brand 32” LCDs were on Christmas specials for as little as $199.
I paid $650 (IIRC) for my VIZIO 32” in 2008.

During BlackFriday/CyberMonday, I found a 24” LCD monitor for $119. It is to replace a 20” LCD that I bought about 4 years ago for $149.

Side Note: The one thing I like about my VIZIO is that it has 2 AV, 2 Composite, and 2HDMI and a bunch of other connections. Newer flat screens have fewer connection options.
About $1,900. Bought at Best Buy in Springfield, MO.
We bought a 42 “ Sharp in 2001 when we built our retirement house at Lake of the Ozarks. The house was wired for high tech stuff at the time it was built.
Even though we had TV connections (into our Dish) in every room, we still needed a new HD cable for the 60”. The security company that wired the house for TV/alarm, etc., did the hook up.
The 42” went into the guest BR. It has provided excellent service for the past 10 years.
