Just allow me to remove my flat cap and genuflect.

My steam driven 4:3 34'' Sony Trinitron was top of its class in its day, costing a whopping £2300 back in 1990. In April this year its on/off switch failed and probably would have cost £50 to repair, so it went to the tip just yesterday, all 83kg of it.

Just bought a 55'' 3D LED Samsung. Amazingly cheap I reckon. It's 4x the screen area for less than half the price, and not a single scan line visible to the naked eye. Its audio is cr*p after the Trinitron but then it weighs 68kg less. Will it last 23 years? I somehow doubt it.

I remember Tom when you got that, you were very proud of it. You ought to have a look at a John Lewis store and see the 84" Samsung Super HD (or whatever the new codec is). Never seen pictures quite like it - mind you £17,000 it was! My better half likes screens out of sight in a cupboard so I'm limited to 40".

The pace of change is quite frightening to old people like me, it will be holograms soon, how do we shoot in hologram Tom?
