I'm sorry, but that's simply not true. When I was in retail 8 or so years ago, the basic 50hz Sony 'flatscreen' WEGA CRT was retailing around the £800 for the 32". You could buy a Samsung for around £500, and a no-name supermarket brand for £350-£400.

Now you can grab a genuine Sony 32" for easily less than £400. It's never been cheaper to own a big telly.
