As someone who doesn't presently have TV in my lifestyle (we have a couple old CRTs in the basement that are unplugged, but nothing we use), I'm not sure how low prices would have to go to make me pick one up. I'm not sure that the quoted prices are low enough.<p>That said, it's pretty awesome that it's only a matter of time before plasmas are cheap enough to have in every room of your house, should you desire to do that.
The only distinction between a TV and a monitor these days is the video input and integrated speakers. I have my TV hooked up to a Mac Mini so I can do all my Hulu, Youtube and home movie watching on a decent sized screen.
