i've upgraded my desktop probably 3 times in the past 3 years
and that's apples and oranges dumbshit, i can easily upgrade my desktop but i can't open up my TV and swap parts like its nothing. when people buy TVs, they buy them to last throughout their lifespan, without having to upgrade all time. you seem to be blindly defending sony's lack of an integrated scaler, which is completely retarded on their part.
