A ten year old TV is ancient nowadays, especially plasma. PDP panels in older sets do not age well. Resale value is the pits on TV's a few years old. I have 2 Sony LCD sets, one from 2007(1080P 120Hz) and one from 2008, also 1080p 120. They have great pictures, as good as anything out there and both were free. both cheap to repair. I got lucky since I have two models with the screens than DONT go bad. Very common on Sonys from 2006-2009 depending on model of course. Samsung is not far behind in the screen dept. Sony uses Samsung screens in most models. Plasma's are expensive to repair mainly due to Ysus and Zsus boards going bad. I've seen some sets with bad Y, Z and power supply's. Those don't get repaired, straight to the dumpster. I'm fighting 2 LG made 50" Plasma's now, both have the same ysus problems.
