I grew up in Windsor, a skip and a jump from Detroit and yes you have to pay a fee if you declare it when you cross the border. You can try to tell them it was a gift...but not sure how that will fly. Too bad it's a big tv and you can't hide it somewhere  . Weird that the tv is THAT much cheaper in the States. And I thought our dollar was doing well.
Good luck!

tv's are insanely cheaper in the states than here.
If you can hide it in the trunk go for it, but if you get caught, ouch.

If neighbors are considered penalties, wtf did we do so wrong to get Mexico?

You sure?.. if its crossing the border I believe you have to pay taxes on it too.. Duty fees are nothing theres a max of 200 for duty fees.. Im not a 100% sure.. but if you are right.. then thatd be awesome : )
