"... Why bother upgrading TV to show higher resolution that serves no purpose?...."

Roger that. What used to cost upwards of $10K can now be had for $1300. LG has a smart TV, 60",in 3-D, that directly connects to the Internet and/or all kinds of apps in addition to a TV feed; available at Costco for $1299.

My one TV cost $99. That's as much as it is worth to me (more than I would have liked - I would have preferred keeping my old CRT).
