Well, there's also the issue of picture quality and energy consumption (direct and indirect, because in the summer people often crank the AC to get rid of heat, a significant portion of which is generated by TV, Computer, etc.). LED backlit LCD screens save considerable amounts of power over CRT and Plasma screens. Of course, once we get OLED it will be another incremental savings over the LED backlit stuff. But of course, resource use is also energy, so it becomes a balancing act trying to guess the best life-cycle for resource optimization.
