Ouch on technology prices

[Argo]

About a year and 3 months ago I bought a 42 inch Samsung DLP that's capable of only 720p resolution for $1900. Today you can buy this baby:

Edit: Typo it was 720p. And I forgot to mention the price.

720i isn't an HDTV standard ....

I bought a Samsung 42" 720P DLP last year for $1200. I made out like a bandit using a combination of a Circuit City sale, a CC 10% off coupon, and a GC from work for Employee of the Month.

that's how it has always been. in 1992, the price per MB was $1/MB. today, it can get as low as $0.37/GB. as technology improves, the technique to make it gets cheaper and the prices drop.

14months ago my dad bought a 42" LG Plasma 480p plasma screen for £1250. A few weeks ago we got a 50" 720p Panasonic one for £1600 with a 5yr warrenty included!
