Should I buy a new TV or just get a Roku box?

Let me start this out by saying that I already have a nice Panasonic HDTV with 1080p resolution. I bought it about 2 years ago before streaming TV came out. Should I sell it and buy a new HDTV with wi-fi built in or should I just spend $80 and get a Roku box. I'd prefer to save my money, especially if upgrading my TV isn't going to improve picture quality or anything else.

Buy the Roku! I view buying a smart TV as the same as buying a stereo with an integrated 8-track player. Do you really want to buy a new TV every two to three years?
