Notice “boasts” shows up twice in the same paragraph for the 5050 specs — someone was really feeling that 3.5-inch depth. At $9K for 50 inches back in 2004 though, this was honestly the “affordable” option compared to the competition.

That article was long before my time. I do remember those days. Paid more than $5K for a 42-inch Pioneer back then.
